    It's maybe charming and wonderful on paper but as soon as you arrived, you face a different reality : the entrance of the tipi village is a beautiful TRASH DUMP (see pictures) with no one to welcome you. We had to enter in the village to find two ladies in a great discussion who ignored us for a long time. With no hi nor welcome, they asked us if we were there to check in and the oldest one walked us down our tipi (which wasn't the one I reserved 6 months earlier and had a view on the fence instead of mesas). We tried to switch with the one that was empty at the time but they didn't want to find a solution and didn't find the need to tell they were sorry. So we had to sleep in the wrong one with no view despite the confirmation email we received six months before and the entire payment we were asked to do at that time to make sure we had that specific tipi. Beside, there are only two restrooms (a toilet + a shower in each one) and that is not enough for all the people in the camp. Expect extended queuing in the morning. Fortunately, they are not very clean so you definitely don't want to spend a long time in it. So the only star I give is for the friendly dog who welcomed us and shared some time with us while we were there. Thank you Zeus !

    Stay here if you want to have unparalleled views of Monument Valley on all sides! I stayed here with a large group of people and subsequently got to stay in a tipi as well as one of the small 2 person houses and the large and traditionally decorated octagon house that sleeps up to 8 people. My friends also stayed in one of the pop up tents. The views morning and night are what make this place such an excellent stay as well as the wonderful staff. Even though you're in the desert, the staff keep the place and bathrooms spotless! I didn't interact with the owner myself but he was very accommodating to our group. But my favorite person was Bob, the manager. He is so friendly and will chat with you about anything! They just started serving a continental breakfast for a nominal fee which was delicious and nicely set up in the common outdoor dining area. Plus if you are an animal lover, you'll have the pleasure of meeting three sweetheart dogs who will love you even more if you happen to share a bite of your dinner with them. There's also Cloudy, whom I dubbed the Flower Pot Kitty, as she sleeps in the pots. And Cinnamon the horse is always up for a pat on the head. As other reviews indicate, there is adequate bedding in every type of dwelling and the tipis have twin beds and fold out cots so you don't have to sleep on the floor unless you want to. And there is electricity and lamps in each space save for pop up tents. We found the Tipi to be chilly at night but no problems with a toasty warm sleeping bag! The houses were also quite snug. There are two full baths and an outhouse. Amazingly enough we made it work with the 13 in our group plus the other half dozen strangers staying at any given night. I think they plan to build more bathrooms soon though. We also did a tour of Monument Valley with a Navajo guide organized by Tipi Village and the tour was amazing!! I would come back in a heart beat!!

    This place was such a fantastic find. It's not everyday you can say you spent the night in a tipi when visiting Monument Valley. My husband found the Monument Valley Tipi Village on TripAdvisor and read some great reviews. He started emailing with one of the owners - Bob - and inquired about a room. We decided to maximize our long weekend for 4th of July and do a trip out to Monument Valley, The Grand Canyon and Sedona. This was our first stop on our trip and when we arrived, we were greeted by Aaron - one of the Navajo owners who lives on site with his family. Aaron showed us the facilities - a communal area in the center and a very clean bathroom - one male and one female featuring a toilet and shower in each - very clean although be prepared to wait if you want to use the bathrooms and there are a lot of people staying at the village. Aaron also showed us the free wi-fi password. You will see many dogs running around - they are friendly and became mascots of the village, lounging at our table and tipi site. Currently, the tipi village has 5 tipis, one modern octagon cabin and 3 campsites with running water, a picnic table, and even your own cedar wood overhead shelter and grill. We were told to park our cars next to our tipi - the whole area is fenced off and the doors are closed off in the evening so no strange cars can drive in. The interior of our tipi was outfitted with two cots, two camping chairs, a table and two lamps. It was fairly warm so there's also a large fan to air the tipi out. We were so impressed by the staff and the tipi was so great. It is one of the more affordable options in Monument Valley and you wake up to some stunning views even if you aren't actually IN the park. We even arranged a private guided tour with Aaron and we were paired with a great Navajo guide named Pat. She showed us the sites and also sang to us at the Big Hogan arch - it was truly memorable. If you take a trip to Monument Valley and want a unique experience - a bit of glamping - then this place is a great option and really affordable! I can't wait to go back sometime.

    Such a fun, and unique way to spend a night in Monument Valley. The staff was extremely friendly from the early stages of making a reservation, and on. Staying in the tipi is a healthy medium between camping and a basic hotel stay- it definitely gets cold at night... you are in a tipi. There is electricity, so you will be able to charge electronics, and a light is provided- but if the temperatures are looking chilly, pack accordingly (extra blankets are available in your tipi trunk). There is a shared hut with two separate bathrooms including showers, as well as a shared community space with seating, a sink, and a grill/refrigerator. I have two main standouts for this stay: 1, the stargazing was absolutely unbelievable. 2, there were very friendly dogs roaming the property. I asked the owner, Aaron, if two of the dogs could stay in our tipi overnight (because I'm a psychotic dog person), and he agreed and therefore made my night.

    What an experience out in the open Navajo Tribal Park! You will meet Aaron Holiday, a Navajo local and excellent host. He showed us to our tipis and helped us build a fire for our smores. In the evening, Aaron shared a few Navajo words, a bit of their culture and played the flute for us in our tipi. It was a wonderful and a very personal welcome. The tipis are situated right by some mesas and rock formations. The views of the other mesas from a distance is unobscured. The sunsets and sunrises here are breathtaking. They currently have 5 large and comfortable tipis. Inside you will find 2 twin beds, 2 camping chairs, a table, 2 lamps, an industrial fan and power outlets. All tipis have an allocated parking spot, a sheltered picnic table and a grilling stand. There are 2 camping sites if you wish to set up tent in the area, those sites also come with a sheltered picnic table and grill. They have one octagonal log cabin that is larger inside than what it seems from the outside. Also fully equipped. There is a sheltered common area in the center for breakfast with tables, an island that has a microwave and coffee maker. They have free wifi which is great so you can post all you photos when you get back from a long day of exploring. There is a men's and a women's bathroom. Both are of a comfortable size with a shower and is for common use. You would have to wait till its vacant but that seldom happens. 2 hour drive from Page, AZ and 2 hours from the Four Corners. Cleanliness: Excellent Hospitality: Excellent Communication: Excellent Location: Excellent

    We arrived at Tipi Village in the night and woke up to a breath taking view on all sides. It's a lovely little establishment with cozy tipis and a common but very clean set of bathrooms. We signed up for a tour n our tour guide Pat gave us an unforgettable experience. She took us to the untouched back country which is not accessible without permission of the residents. She shared their native stories, traditions n even sang for us. Coincidentally it started raining while she was singing n that was just so surreal! When we casually discussed with Aaron n Robert how the navajo taco we had at Goulding's was made with canned beans n didn't taste authentic, that evening Aaron brought over a traditional Navajo taco made by his wife! There's not a thing you will be in need of if you just ask! Wonderful people wonderful stay!

    Stayed one night in the Octagon. A unique experience, not only the Octagon which is beautiful decorated, but also the outside sitting area with BBQ station. We bought in the nearby supermarket for our dinner. The views are incredible. The sundown on Monument Valley can be viewed from your sitting area

    Stayed at the Tipi village ,it's a Great experience
    Joaquin G.

    Had a great time here , Bob the host greeted us and showed us the tipi's and the grounds, they have showers and flushable toilets, there's a dog name bulah who is very friendly . There is also an octagon shape cabin sort of like a Yurt, and some tent camping spots . The place is well kept and clean . All sites have electrical outlets and water, including the Tipi's . The owner Aaron Holiday teaches you about Navajo culture and plays the flute, and will hang out and talk to you. We enjoyed our stay and we definitely be back again. If you are ever in the area , stay here , It a fun experience

    I chose to visit Navajo Spirit Tours in my 60th year, fulfilling a dream I've had since…read morechildhood--and it exceeded every expectation. This was truly the tour of a lifetime. Our guide, Shawn Holiday, was simply the best of the best. His knowledge of history and geology brought the land to life in a way I'll never forget. He didn't just guide us--he immersed us in the experience. From sharing stories and cultural insights to playing the flute in the canyon, every moment felt meaningful and authentic. Shawn also had an incredible eye for photography. He took us to breathtaking locations and helped capture some of the most unforgettable photos our family will ever have. Traveling with my wife and two daughters, I couldn't have asked for a better guide--he was thoughtful, polite, and deeply respectful as he shared Navajo customs and traditions with us. The beauty of this place is beyond words--you truly have to see it to believe it. Being there also gave me a deeper appreciation for the rich history of the Indigenous people who lived in harmony with this land, trading far and wide and honoring nature as one. That spirit is still present, and it's something that deserves respect and recognition. I feel incredibly lucky to have experienced this tour with Shawn. It's something I will carry with me forever. I hope to see continued opportunities and prosperity for the Navajo people in the future--they are the true stewards of this land, and their culture is something the world can learn so much from. If you're considering this tour--don't hesitate. It's unforgettable.

    Navajo Spirit Tours offers absolutely top-notch tours of Monument Valley. Our tour guide, Mr. Will…read moreCowboy, was much more than a guide; he's a Navajo cultural educator, historian, excellent navigator of deeply rutted dirt roads, and patient answerer of questions. Not only that, he's a musician; he sang a Navajo song to us to wish us a safe journey while we were in the "Big Hogan" (a large ampitheater size space created by natural erosion and with great acoustics). His passion for his people and his culture truly left a mark on our consciousness that will never be forgotten. Of course, the scenery was also truly stunning. The driving itself was extremely bumpy but I'd say it's like getting an amusement park ride thrown in for free. We were also treated to a demonstration of Navajo arts and crafts by Loretta in her hogan, truly a special moment. Taking a Navajo Spirit tour couldn't be easier and the staff was very responsive to my questions about booking. This is a must-see activity if you're in the area. I can't wait to go back.

I am a Utah native now living back east and have visited all of the Big Five but never Monument Valley. I have wanted to visit for many years and finally did it. Our guide was Tony he raised broken-field driving to a new level. The drive up and back to and back from the mesa was an experience my son and I will never forget, as I'm sure anybody who has done it will agree. Once we were on-site at the mesa, Tony dropped us off at sunset point and came back later to take us to the campsite. He then prepared a great dinner and regaled us with stories of Navajo culture and legends. The next morning, he walked us the sunrise point for more photographs. As we are both photographers, everything about Monument Valley was astounding but Hunt's Mesa is in a class by itself. We have never seen such incredible landscapes and hopefully captured it with our cameras. Tony was a major element in the success of this trip; he has professional, competent, knowledgeable and friendly. We believe he went out of his way to show us his home. We cannot say enough good things about him and highly recommend Monument Valley Safari!

Today we elected to do a guided tour so we could see areas closed unless you have a guide. We were particularly interested in learning more about Navajo Culture. Our guide Amory was great. He interspersed bits and pieces of his own experiences with details of Navajo history and practices. We learned of the days of his youth - herding sheep and goats, as well as tales of how the Navajo people communicate their culture and values to children. He has a great eye for photogenic opportunities and taught us some clever tricks to use with our iPhones. The front of the park, where you can do a self guided tour is phenomenal. You can easily spend four to eight hours taking in the unique geological formations. But, you can't see some of the truly amazing sites deeper in the park unless you hire a guide. (I'll attach photos of Big Hogan, Ear of the Gods, and a few other spots only viewable with a guide.)

We enjoyed tremendous views of Monument Valley as well as interesting and thoughtful stories and explanations of how this area holds deep meaning to the Navajo. Our group was small, and our leaders were patient, funny, and helpful for those of us with next to no horseback riding experience. My husband, who can be difficult to impress, was awestruck by the views and the perspective that comes only with being on a trail, not in a vehicle. If you go, bring a full water bottle and cash for tipping, plus remember to wear your sunscreen and a hat. Special thanks also to Mack and Sideburns, our trusty steeds! We had a little trouble locating the starting point at the stables -- we thought we were supposed to park in the Navajo Visitor Center parking lot and check in at the tour booth at the far end of the parking lot. Turns out that tour booth is for vehicle tours. The folks there advised us to drive down a short gravel road next to the visitor center and park next to the stables that we could see in the distance. Easy enough, but this could have been clearer in the directions; a simple map or drawing would have been very helpful. We also didn't realize we'd have to pay a $10 per person entry fee to the Visitor Center parking lot before even getting to the stables. Maybe that was mentioned in the instructions and I just missed it? Either way, not a deal-breaker for us.

We did not see any water in the horses' enclosure. We also noticed that the horses had no shelter from the sun or rain inside the fence area where they were kept. Otherwise, the horses seemed OK, they were fed and our guide was OK. I would have given Sacred Monument Tours better rating if I had observed that the horses had access to water and were given a break between rides before a new group of people went out.
