Coral Sands RV Park — Hotel in Bluff

We stayed here for a week as a base camp for Mexican Hat, Valley of the Gods, Goosenecks State Park, Bears Ears National Monument, Four Corners Monument, Bluff Fort, Bluff Great House, Twin Rock Trading Post, Sand Island Petroglyphs Panel, and just a day relaxing for a kiddo's birthday. The campground is very neat and clean, well organized. The spots are very spacious, flat gravel pads. Looks like almost all of the sites are pull through with full hookup and pretty much shaded with plenty of nature trees. Some are set up as buddy sites if you are traveling with multiple rigs. Wifi was decent most of the time, but it did drop a couple of times during the weekend when everyone in the park was back at their rigs. Owners were both present and available every day and were very nice. Mike was out everyday taking the gravel every time a spot was vacated and the grounds look very well cared for. Would recommend for a stop over (very easy in and out, easy check-in process) or as a base camp for all the area provides, which is a lot more that we expected when we got there. Tip: Definitely so the Bluff Fort. I have not seen a better museum depicting what it was like for early settlers in the West. The personal journal readings by their descendants really bring home that real people did this. The hand carts in the yard gave the kids a good perspective on how terrible it would have been to have to haul their own clothes and...

This is the second time we've stayed here, 2 years apart, because we love Bluff. Gorgeous tall bluffs on both sides of the campground, so you've got a wonderful view of one side in the morning and another great view of the other side in the evening. A few miles down the road, you can pull into the Sand Island Recreation Area where you can boondock, but I prefer not to. It's on the healthy San Juan River where folks were rafting. Within that area is a quarter-mile hike next to a bluff with the most amazing petroglyphs I've ever seen, complete with several interpretive displays. I think I'll always remember those petroglyphs. The weird yet wonderful thing is, that trail seems to be a secret! With such spectacular petroglyphs, you'd expect to see tourists galore. But all along the trail, we saw only 4 other people.

Pamela and Mike in the office were as sweet and helpful as ever. We bought our propane there. And the shower, though not glamorous, was probably my favorite ever. It was a big, tall room with a toilet and shelves. It had a large rain shower head from the tall ceiling with plenty of water pressure and hot water. It definitely was the most fun shower I've ever had!!

In terms of food, I'd definitely recommend the wonderful Canyon Smokehouse. Yum. And I would definitely NOT recommend Comb Ridge — cute on the outside but...

The owners of Coral Sands are friendly, accommodating, helpful and knowledgeable of the area. We stayed here for a week as a base to Bears Ears, Monument Valley, and Canyon de Chelly. If you’re interested in cave dwellings there are many close by if you don’t mind off roading. The rv sites are spacious, mostly shaded by cottonwood trees with beautiful views of the bluffs. The park is clean, pretty quiet and the night sky is great for star gazing. The office has a few camping supplies if needed and the propane is reasonably priced.

Next door there’s a nice restaurant, less than a mile away there’s a small convenience store at the gas station as well as a historical fort. Internet here was fast and great which was a saving grace as I need service for work and there was hardly any cell service for us in the area.

On site they also have a old western Wagon cabin for rent with modern conveniences. It’s great for a couple or family as it has a bunk bed.

There’s an outdoor gas fire pit with chairs. It’s an awesome option if you want to get away from the rv for a night or two- which we did for one night. When and if we come to Bluff, we would definitely...
