5 bucks for entry, but you can also. Camp here for that. No hookups, pit toilets and I don't think there is water. Next time I will stay at this scenic spot. Easy access for any size rv or trailer. Would be a good spot to drive moki dugway and the dirt valley of the gods road with NO TRAILER in tow. I did that route in about 2.5 hours with plenty of photo stops.

Beautiful desert scenery. The river bends are a great sight from above. It’s first come first serve. Max stay is two nights. You can either pay online or pay cash at kiosk. Vaulted toilets were clean & sites were clean as well. Nights are quiet (too quiet 😊). Were hoping to have dark skies, but had a new moon. Very well kept park. Once in a lifetime visit for us. Highly recommend at least as a short stop.

A short drive off HY163 and only $5 entry per car this location offers one attraction, the bends of the San Juan river. But what a sight, absolutely breathtaking. A 1000 foot deep gorge with a river snaking through three bends immediately below you, more bends than the much more famous Horse Shoe Bend 150 miles east. Admittedly Horse Shoe Bend has a deep green river and red rocks whereas this is less colourful, but maybe more dramatic with the drop, dark rock and spectacular river bends.

A very small park but it is packed with stunning views. A good stop for picnic from Monument Valley. Cost only 5 USD to enter. Not very far from a major hwy. It has primitive toilets, picnic areas and camping sites.

It’s a beautiful boondock camping experience. The road is not too bad. See how the San Juan river snakes through the canyon. See the snake. You can see monument valley in the horizon. Come check it out.

Fantastic views and amazing scenery! Very windy when we went (May). Campground has lots of nice fire pits all around for great dispersed camping.

This is better than Horseshoe Bend. It’s several bends in one view. Fabulous, and like a $5 entry with almost no one there. An undiscovered jewel. Loads of space for camping and RVs. Very peaceful and even has WiFi. Thanks Elon

One of the best scenic views I’ve seen my whole trip. You definitely need to see this. Be aware of cliff, don’t let children loose. Be safe and apply sunscreen!
