“Spider Rock Campground” in Chinle, Arizona - was rated: 7
This is an interesting place to stay at, much more secluded than the free campground located off the mesa. You are surrounded by pinion trees and other scrub plants, and all the sites are dirt and generally not level. Howard has a rim hike on the property that’s absolutely awesome. You can be completely alone and reflect on how the native people lived here. Howard’s two dogs kept me company on my hike, keeping me entertained by scaring the heck out of some wandering sheep. If it happens to rain while you are here, have fun getting out if you don’t have 4 wheel drive. The dirt here turns to grease when wet making it tough getting out without a trailer, probably impossible with one. One party here with me had to stay an extra day because they got stuck trying to get their 30′ 5th out, and they had a 4×4 Dodge dually. Once it dries it’s fine, but forget coming here during the wet months in an RV. There is a dump station here and some non-potable water.
