About Bonito Campground (AZ)

Bonito Campground is located 18 mi northeast of Flagstaff, near Sunset Crater/Wupatki National Monument. Elevation is 6.9 ft. 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.

Enjoyed this site a lot. Was nicely located towards the back of the campground, so it was pretty quiet, but still close enough to the restrooms.

It was a perfect camp for us. Shady, cool, quiet, clean. We spent our time mainly in Flagstaff with family but took time to enjoy the Sunset Volcano’s visitor center and trails—-very informative!
The only wish for improvement is to have a secondary paved trail to the restrooms so you can reach them from front and back.

This is a very nice, well cared for campground. The hosts couldn't be nicer. The bathrooms (with flush toilets, by the way) are always spotless.
The campground is adjacent to Sunset Crater National Monument. If you haven't been there you really should go.
