Canyon de Chelly- Tseyi Heritage Center

Tseyi’ Dine’ Heritage Area – Cottonwood Campground (TDHA) is located near the entrance of Canyon de Chelly National Monument in Chinle, Arizona. TDHA offers camping for anyone desiring to pitch a tent or park your RV to enjoy a quiet night or two under the stars; a picnic table and barbeque grill are available at each campsite.

For those who want to take in the breathtaking views and relish in the paths of the ancient ones who once flourished in the canyons, book a guided tour from one of the local tour operators; they will take you in by horse, vehicle or on foot. Or, you could take a self-guided tour of the South and North Rim Drives and view the canyon from the overlooks.

TDHA is managed by Navajo Parks and Recreation through a cooperative management agreement with the National Park Service.www.nps.gov
