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.

This was our second stay at Bonito Campground and we enjoyed our time there once again. The campground host was friendly and helpful in getting us settled and letting us know about the campground. We find the mountain scenery at Bonito Campground to be absolutely stunning. This is a quiet campground as there is no UTV use allowed within the park. We had a reservation, however, there were plenty of sites available if we had not (weekday arrival). There are no hookups though there are flush toilets and water is available if you bring a container. All in all a great place to camp if you enjoy quiet and beautiful surroundings up in the pines.

Great place to camp; you are right outside Sunset Crater Volcano and Wupatki National Monument Nice campground; would have liked to have had a dishwashing area, and, honestly, as they had running water, they really could have added an outdoor shower-just to rinse off. Other than that, very nice campground.

Immaculately kept. The camp posts were phenomenal and cared about representing the campground in the best light and care about the campers experience. Best camp host ever!

The camp hosts were very helpful and friendly. The camp was exceptionally clean. Close tourist sites are the Meteor Crater, Petrified Forest, Sunset Crater with Indian ruins, and the Grand Canyon. Flagstaff is a charming city about 15 miles from the campground.
