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.

Campground is quiet. Sites are spaced far apart and bathrooms are super clean. This was our second stay and we will be back!

Great place to stop on our way from Phoenix to Colorado. We spent one night - the spot was pretty level for our trailer, bathrooms were clean, and firewood and ice were both available for purchase. The hosts were nice and knowledgeable about the area.

This campground has a decent amount of space between sites, was very clean and hosts were lovely. It was fun to explore the lava flow right along the site. The lava rock gravel everywhere means things don't get very messy/muddy when it's rainy, and having flush toilets and a sink to wash hands in makes for a very comfortable tent camping experience.
