Hovenweep National Monument Utah

Hovenweep National Monument Overview

Hovenweep National Monument features Puebloan-era multi-storied structures and towers spread over a twenty-mile expanse of mesa tops and canyons in southwestern Colorado and southeastern Utah.. The six prehistoric sites built between A.D. 1200 and 1300 may have served as ceremonial centers.

The campground has 31 campsites set among Juniper trees and is within the beautiful, sweeping landscape of the Colorado Plateau in Southeast Utah. It is also located alongside two converging canyons and is only 1/4 mile (.4km) from the park’s visitor center. Stunning views of mountains, canyons, and sandstone ledges adorned with desert plants make for a spectacular camping experience!
