About Bonito Campground (AZ)

Bonito Campground is located 18 miles northeast of Flagstaff, near Sunset Crater/Wupatki National Monument. Elevation is 6,900 feet. Bonito Campground is named for the Bonito Lava Flow which oozed across this high desert plain some 900 years ago. That river of liquid rock, now frozen forever, is just one of the many remnants of volcanic activity which lend an otherwordly appearance to this starkly beautiful place.

Our first stay at Bonito Campground and it was wonderful. Camp hosts Frank & Sandy stopped by to greet us and they were so nice, they even had treats for our dogs. The bathrooms were clean and they had soap. Nice spacing between camp sites and overall very quite. Short walk to the information center from the campground. No cell coverage whatsoever, you will need to drive a few miles back out to the highway if you need that. Site 25 was big enough for our 34' 5th wheel and our truck. Lots to see in the area, we will be back.

A quiet spot with trails, stars at night and sunlight filtering through the pines in the morning, what's not to like?
