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.

Nice, quiet campground outside Flagstaff. Easy to get to after a day driving around Grand Canyon and for going up to Monument Valley. Clean facilities and good lots for tents. The campground host was friendly and helpful. Would stay again.

We have been coming here for years but this year, new fire pits were installed… they are basically burning barrels, so tall you have to be standing over them to see the fire. Watching the flames and coals are some of the best parts of camping but now, not being able to enjoy these views from our camp chairs, we will no longer be coming back.

I love this campsite so much and it is very well run. I've been back twice in one month and can't wait to return.

We had a great time at this campground. Just wish the generator off time was an hour earlier since AZ doesn't change to daylight savings time.

This is the best forest service campground I have ever stayed at. Large campsites in the pines, good bathrooms and right next to sunset crater Natural Monument.
