We really enjoy boondocking but this state park was awful. It was packed with RVs and day users. The toilet was filthy. We had a hard time even getting out of there with our 40' motorhome. We have seen better views elsewhere and that's exactly what we did - moved elsewhere. It's also a very dangerous place for children. Please keep watch on them. Even though it's free it wasn't enough incentive to try and stay - even if we could have found a spot. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Actually free, but can't put $0 for a nightly rate. The "campground" is really a VERY large dirt parking area on the ridge of the San Juan River. The canyon looks just like you see on the web and in magazines. It looks even better at sunset and sunrise. There are vault toilets (yuck!), garbage cans, and a shelter with a picnic table. We ended up being here all by ourselves. Once the few buses and cars of daily visitors filtered away, we were left in solitude to watch the lightning show in the distance and listen to the river 1000 feet down below. We heard no noise from anywhere and only occasionally saw a few headlights in the distance from overnight offroaders. The sky was overcast so no stargazing for our overnight stop. The town of Mexican Hat is a few miles away, but it's best to be completely self sufficient out here. This location is very exposed so be prepared for a sudden rainstorm, extreme heat, and wind. After all, it IS the desert! My only complaint is that the vault toilets are not serviced often enough, which makes for interesting smells from the vent tubes if the wind blows just right. However, considering the $0 cost, it's only a minor complaint. The views were worth the trip anyways. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Fantastic place. No facilities except for a "hole in the ground" toilet that you do not want to use even when desperate. Fabulous view and at night you can experience the rear phenomenon of seeing the stars without light pollution. Remember: No hook-ups. Just you and whichever facilities that you bring along with you. Nightly rate is $0 (free) but this can't be entered into system so I have entered $1. We camped here in a Motorhome.

No frills park, does have a laundry. For the rate excellent place to stay to see the sights. Staff all helpful and friendly. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park is difficult to find since it is in back of a small restaurant/convenience store and the campground sign blew down a few weeks ago. The sites are level, and the owners are trying to grow trees for each site. $26 does seem a bit much for this campground but the nearest competition is $45+. There is a road down to the river here and the red cliffs behind the campground on the other side of the river are beautiful in the sunset. The park is centrally located for visiting the Natural Bridges, Monument Valley, Goosenecks, the Valley of the Gods road and taking the Moki Dugway. We would definitely stay here again.
