Summer is here and we are traveling from Tucson to Montana and western Canada.  We spent the first few nights of our trip with family along the way so this was our first stop at an RV park.  We looked for something along 191 that was convenient enough that we could park the RV and drive our tow car to Monument Valley.  Cadillac Ranch RV Park suited us perfectly.

It is located in Bluff, Utah just a few miles east of the junction of 191 and 163 (the main road leading into Monument Valley).  The sites are large and the park is small and comfortable.  The scenery is fabulous and there’s a great place to sit on benches that overlook a small pond (probably a little run off from the San Juan River that runs along the back of the park). We got lucky and were treated to gorgeous sunsets both nights.  We enjoyed walking around the property and seeing the bluffs all around.

There are even a couple of mascot birds – Elvis and Elvira are two cute Emus who live on the property.  I’m not sure which one is which but they are both cool!

The drive to Monument Valley is 47 miles of incredible scenery and you can easily drive there, take the 17 mile drive in the valley and get back in a day.  It’s also convenient to other great sights like Valley of the Gods, Four Corners and lots more within 1/2 hour to an hour or so.  It was the perfect stop for us and it was only $25 a night.  No laundry facilities, which would have been nice, and no pool, which we never use anyway.  Just spacious sites in a beautiful setting.  I highly recommend this park if you are passing through this part of the country.  For reservations and current rates, go to their site at Cadillac Ranch RV Park.
