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 easy to get and was very clean. They sell wood there but very small bundles of small “logs”…for $8!. Next time we will buy some wood on the way in.

Sehr ruhiger Platz mit großen, privaten Sites. Sehr netter Camp Host und gepflegte Spültoiletten. Gleich um die Ecke liegt ein großes Lavafeld mit verschiedenen Trails. Vom Platz aus kann man gleich loslaufen oder joggen. Unbedingt den Scenic Drive fahren.

I liked it so much I stayed an extra night. The restrooms are immaculately clean. The campsites are level and paved. My site had a table, fire ring, and BBQ pit. The hosts were extraordinary.

Bonito Campground is named correctly. It is soooo pretty with beautiful trees. The sites are private and comfortable. A lot of real estate at each site. Everybody says it's 18 mi to Flagstaff but one can find all the amenities needed less than 10 minutes from the park. Just be prepared to basically boondock. We loved Bonito and will for sure stay again when in the area!

A very well-designed campground with lots of space in and between sites. Hard-working g hosts proved helpful and stayed busy keeping things neat. Beautiful modern bathrooms. Bonito sits next to the entrance to the Sunset Crater and Wupatki Monument highway, a lovely 35-mile scenic drive.
