Hi,
we are coming from across the pond from England and renting an RV for the first time. We have booked the first 2 nights near the Grand Canyon, travelling Oljato Monument Valley, Grand Junction up to Mount Rushmore. Could anyone recommend sites close by to any of these locations and value for money?

Many Thanks
Bernie & John

i would start here - http://www.goodsamclub.com/travel/campgroundsandrvparks/

i'm sure others will send you add'l sites to look through as well

our national and state parks each have their own websites...
http://www.nps.gov/findapark/index.htm
http://azstateparks.com/index.html

enjoy yourselves, and don't forget to drink plenty of water

I always use www.rvparkreviews.com when choosing a campground.

I like the Rafter J Bar in Hill City which is very close to Rushmore.

For any of the National Parks you visit, try to stay in the park. It makes the visit so much more complete. Happy Camping.

Are you going to make it up to Moab, UT and Arches National Park??

I rely heavily on rvparkreviews.com as others have mentioned. Enjoy your trip!

in Monument Valley, Gouldings RV park is the best bet. Get a reservation as it is a popular rv park.
Near Grand Junction is the Colorado River State Park:

Up in the Mt. Rushmore area, you have lots of rv parks.
We like Custer State Park, very scenic, but make a reservation.
