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.

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.

Great campground at the entrance to Sunset Crater/Wupatki National Monuments. Also close to Flagstaff. The park was clean and spaces level. Each site has a picnic table, fire pit and BBQ; some are on a concrete pad. They do sell firewood on site. Space 38 was perfect for our 37' 5th wheel. Park is quiet and lots of shade trees.
