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.

Camped at Bonito for five days and enjoyed my stay. Camp hosts were very helpful. Ice was available on-site which saved a trip to the nearest convenience store six miles south. I could connect to phone and internet most days simply by driving to the main road two miles away. There were plenty of points of interest near by including the Sunset Crater Volcano, SanFranciso Peaks and the Wupatki National Monument. There are hiking trails around the Sunset Crater Volcano that are well worth the time if one has never seen an ancient lava flow. The campground was very beautiful and quiet.

Camp hosts were friendly and helpful. Kept the camp and bathrooms clean. The Lava fields and Sunset Crater trail were great. The visitor center staff were very informative. Campers, don't leave items out that can be blown away by wind gusts or taken by ravens and crows. There was a lot of trash out in the forest.

The campground is very clean, organized and well taken care of. It’s walking distance to Sunset Volcano. The host/hostess were the most attentive and conscientious of all the campgrounds we’ve ever been to. Keep up the good work.
