Here’s the review Jenn wrote on Campground Reviews:

The view you imagine when you imagine a Western

A bit overpriced for what it is, but you can’t beat the panoramic views of one of the most iconic landscapes in America. We had a 50amp pull-through site, which was just long enough for our 40′ motorhome and we parked our tow vehicle alongside, with plenty of room left over for outdoor living space. The sites and roads could use another layer of gravel to keep the dust down. It’s a fairly basic park, but very convenient for visiting Monument Valley, Goosenecks State Park, Bears Ears National Monument, etc. We camped at Monument Valley KOA Journey in a Motorhome.

The RV park map:

Here’s the weather for our time here. Two screenshots; the first is using the GPS location, which for some reason lists us as Moab, even though it’s over 100 miles from Moab. And the second searching for Monument Valley. Close enough, regardless:

Our site:

Since there was no T-Mobile connectivity, which is our preference for unlimited internet, I set up the Starlink dish:

Electrical and water utilities; the electrical pedestal is in a strange place, but the water and sewer are conveniently placed:

65 PSI water pressure (I have a regulator to limit it to 60 PSI):

Table, fire pit, and charcoal grill, with our rug and chairs:

This is a very scenic location, with several buttes nearby:

Sunset every night saw several people lined up along the fence, taking pictures:

Another sunset:

Let’s walk around. Here’s the entrance, with another butte beyond:

More RVs and views:

A nice-looking skoolie — a retired school bus, converted into an RV. Many RV parks don’t allow skoolies, or other custom or older RVs, but this KOA obviously doesn’t have that rule:

Our coach, with the skoolie beyond:

Another skoolie, not so nice looking:

There are horse tours available next to the RV park (we did such a tour; stay tuned for that):

This being a KOA Journey park, it tends to have a high turnover of occupants; it can empty out during the day, then fill up again by the evening:

Watching the sunset:

Sunset between the truck and coach:

On the day before we left, there was a lot of wind (with 45 MPH gusts), kicking up a lot of dust:

We pulled in our front passenger slide-out to reduce the rocking and rattling of the slide topper.
