iOverlander cannot verify if wild camping is permitted at this location. It is your responsibility to verify local laws or obtain consent before staying the night.
Right behind a parking lot and stalls where locals sell jewellery there is a space for few vehicles including 2/3 spots further below which should be hidden from vehicles coming down the main road. There is still a bit of traffic until 9:30pm but it then gets quiet and you get unbeatable views on the monument valley both at sunset and sunrise.
Why? By checking in after you’ve visited a place you let others know this place is still functional. You can also add or correct any information.
watched the sunset here but ultimately had to leave because the man who owns the land came and talked to me. he was super nice and and said if i wanted to sleep here he charges campers $20. thought about it but i’m cheap so i moved on.
Report Check-InWild camping on reservation land without a permit is illegal and you are subject to a ticket or arrest for trespassing. This is on Navajo land. Please obtain a permit and explicit permission for your campsite when on tribal land.
Report Check-InWe stopped at this spot for night and the owner of this land visited us and explained that everyone who wants to stay over night must pay. He asked for $20. We paid. Later visited us another guy, introduced himself as his brother and told us that we shouldn't pay to his brother. He was talking about right-of-way, that everyone can stop and stay over night there, next to the highway without any charge or fee. I really don't know who is right, but be prepared that someone will try to charge you there for staying over night. Both brothers were friendly to us.
Report Check-Inthis is the park at forest Gump point, there is a little store on the car park. beautiful view on monument valley. please be respectful to keep it free
Report Check-InSuper beautiful place with a great view. It is on private land though and the owner passes by either in the evening or in the morning. You can sleep there no problem, just give the owner a small donation. He uses the money to feed his stock that he farms 2 mile from this place. We gave him 15 dollar and had a very nice chat. He is very nice so please be respectful!
Report Check-InThis place is beautiful. But be respectful! You are on Navajo Nation land. Pick-up trash and leave nothing behind. I filled a garbage bag with other peoples garbage.
Report Check-InWe arrived here around 1 AM and our intention was to shoot sunrise before the crowds came in. Sunrise was at 7 am. We were there with only 2 other cars. There was noise from the main road but that was because we literally parked right next to the main road since we couldn’t find the area behind the stalls (it was way too dark). Minimal cars drove by. I probably heard or saw 3 cars from 1 to 7 am. THIS IS WHERE THE FORREST GUMP POINT IS!!! Beautiful sunrise. I can imagine that if you came earlier, someone would be patrolling this place but since we came so late, we had zero issues.
Report Check-InAs described. Spectacular views. Can hear the road but with views like this totally worth spending the time
Report Check-Inwe stayed one night here. arrived about 830pm and it was pretty quiet. didn't have any issues. lots of cars turned up for sunrise though.
Report Check-InAmazing spot! Only for a couple of vehicles. Beatiful view of the Monument Valley. Quiet at night. Nobody bothered us. Stayed two nights. We were alone
Report Check-In22 feet RV no problem! Few meters down the gravel road very calm and cosy.
Update: private property? We have been asked for 15 $ per person for overnight parking/camping
