If you go to the Navajo National Monument

NAVAJO NATIONAL MONUMENT: The monument is about 9 miles along the paved state Road 564, off U.S.160, 50 miles northeast of Tuba City, or 20 miles south of Kayenta.

The park has two free campgrounds, open year-round on a first-come, first-served basis. Nearest food and fuel is the Mesa Trading Post 9 miles away. Lodging is available at Kayenta, Tuba City or Page.
