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.

Great campground, large campsites, wonderful camp hosts. Bathrooms are superb. The only downfall is a lack of water and ZERO cell phone service.

Great campground! Close enough to the town of Flagstaff but also off the beaten path.

I return to this campground whenever my journey heads in this direction. The sites are well spaced, the hosts always friendly and helpful, the rest rooms always clean and the tree cover welcoming.

This is a great campground! It has clean bathrooms with flushing toilets. There are no hook-ups here, but it is beautiful with big camping areas and wonderful campground staff. They keep everything spotless, and are very friendly and helpful. There's ice and wood available as well. It's right next to the Sunset Crater visitor center. We look forward to coming again.

Bonito is a lovely campground with interesting ranger programs and right next door to Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument. Sites are spacious and the bathrooms are clean. No utilities, but worth it!
