Valley of the Gods

We stayed at Valley of the Gods for two nights Nov 25/26 2019. The sky's were black and full of stars at night. We could see one other camper about a mile away the next morning. We toured the area the next day. Moki Dugway, Gooseneck State Park, and Mexican Hat. Very pretty and scenic areas. The rock formations were stunning. We plan on staying there again on our way back to Colorado from wintering in Tucson, Az.

We unfortunately only spent one night here out of the three nights we were in the area. I will 100% return as this was the most private and beautiful camping area ever! The road through the Valley of Gods is in and out on two separate entrances/exits which is easily accessible if you take it slow. We took it easy with our small SUV and 16' trailer and as soon as I was skeptical about certain areas about coming through with a larger trailer I'd see a large RV driving by pulling a small vehicle behind it with out any issues. Spots are easy to find as they are a short distance off the road with large camping areas. I would reframe from going the whole way through with anything over 22' unless you are very comfortable and can take it slow. Bring everything you need with you as supplies will be a pain to get once you are situated.

Extremely private, quiet and beautiful skies with tons to explore- good cell service and LTE. I'd recommend one day near the Monument Valley and the rest of your trip in the Valley of the Gods.

Camped on 1/1/20 for one night.

This place is a must stay and we will be back. We took our 19ft trailer in about 4 miles of the 17 mile loop. The area we picked was overlooking a gulch and had amazing views it all directions. The road had vehicle once in awhile during the day but nothing bothersome. There are many places to stay along the loop and our spot could have taken multiple rigs and was fairly flat. Great hiking along the gulch and pretty much everywhere. Cell coverage was excellent for AT&T.

Best boondocking site ever. I feel comfortable gushing about this spot since it's in the middle of nowhere and has plenty of spots available. The scenery is epic and unlike Monument Valley, you can camp here. As others have said, enter from 163 unless you're in a very small rig. We camped about 3.5 miles off of 163 in our 32 foot class A. The entrance is the worst part of the road in so if you can make it past that, you're golden...at least until your about 4 miles back where it gets hairy.

There is a bit of traffic during the day but at night all we can hear are the frogs in the wash below us. We're getting Verizon 3G with a good strong signal and spotty AT&T 4G that comes and goes, even with the booster (it's actually on the Cellular One network) and halfway through, it didn't work at all. That's the only bad part of Valley of the Gods, other than it's lack of shopping and services so come stocked up. Easy driving distance to Monument Valley, Goosenecks State Park, Natural Bridges, and more.
