Goosenecks State Park | Established Campground

October 16th, 2022 by beachouse81

Big rig friendly primitive campground. Level but lots of rough rocks as you get further from the main entrance. Great for one night. Lots of rigs coming and going and a few that look like they’ve been here for longer stays.

Simple place with a great view. Small $10 fee. Nearest town Mexican Hat ~4.5mi away. Pit toilet, picnic table, and fire pit

A terrific find! $10 cash only to camp overnight; if the station is unmanned there is a box to deposit the fee. Spots are grouped at the entrance and then spread around the rim. Stunning views, peaceful. The road around the rim is flat but very bumpy; the wind blows hard when it blows.

$10 for camping (pit toilets, possible picnic table and fire ring) includes the $5 park entrance so it's a steal to camp for only an extra $5 if you're coming anyway.

Camp right by the edge. There are like 3 sites right by fee both by rim with the "ammententies" as well as 4 not on the rim. My understanding is you could go on in and just camp along the rim in a "dispersed" fashion so you're not limited those spots.

I had almost full LTE AT&T signal

Fantastic spot to camp on the rim of a gorgeous canyon with Monument Valley in the distance. There are pit toilets, picnic tables (some with shade structures), and fire rings. Camping is limited to 2nights $10/per night

parking on the rim of the canyon is spectacular. I stopped for a look and decided to stay, definitely worth the $10 camping fee

Arrived after sunset even though we'd never camped here before. Figured that we should avoid camping on any big black voids. Paid our $10 camping fee which also covered the $5 entrance fee to the park. No attendant - just the iron ranger. Bring a pencil to fill out the registration envelope.
The campsites are stretched all along the rim of the canyon. Some sites have fire-pits. Some have shade structures. Garbage cans are plentiful in the "developed" area of the campground. No water or electric. No dump. Most looked pretty level. This is dispersed camping, so pick your place and set up. We chose a site about 30 ft from the rim that had a spectacular view up both directions of the canyon. When we were there, the campground was about 25% full. We imagine the Spring and Fall seasons are much busier.
Cell was weird. It was perfectly clear weather, but the 3G LTE would come and go, like someone was turning the power off on the tower (which was not visible but assumed to be in Mexican Hat nearby). Worked with both AT&T and Verizon.
When we return, we'll probably go to the last two or three sites, just to be as far away as possible, even though the whole place was dead-quiet. Despite the signs prohibiting it, there was someone flying a drone, so the 6AM birdsong & nature sounds symphony was shattered by that irritating whine from the device. We were wishing for it to crash. Fortunately they only flew it for twenty minutes or so.

Hot in the summer, but great views. Pit toilets, no water, no shade. Verizon voice call worked, but no data.

Nice destination, great view of the San Juan River as it meanders through. Very close to Valley of the Gods to do a road trip, and also check out Sand Island petroglyphs down 163. Can get windy, yesterday around 8 and blew 30 mph gust for about 30 minutes and was done. Today about 10 mph gust but comfortable. Worth a visit very quite spot. You could here the river below in the early morning.

Good to know that the entrance for the day is 5$. So, as I understood when we came there to see the view, if you stay here for the night, it's only 5$ more than if you Come just for the day. I let you try and confirm (or not) ;)
