Bonito Campground (AZ)

Great campground and excellent hosts!

Beautiful spots with lots of room in between, no services. No dump station and not way to get water unless you use a bucket

During the week, Bonito Campground is always peaceful and quiet at night. The campsites are well spaced and neat and tidy. The restrooms have running water and flush toilets. Campground hosts are usually very cordial and accommodating. Cell Phone service is sketchy at best, If you hold your phone at just the right place you might get one bar.

Very good FS campground near Flagstaff, AZ. Paved access from Hwy 89. Mostly level pad and the sites are well spaced apart. Clean bath house with flush toilets. Direct trail access from campground to Sunset Crater NM.

The camp, including the bathrooms were immaculate. The other campers were very quiet during the day and honored the quiet hours at night. Frank and Sandy, our hosts, were friendly and informative giving us suggestions for activities. Awesome star gazing! I haven't seen the milky way in a while. I just leaned back in my camp chair and took in as much as I could.
Things we did:
We hiked the Lava’s Edge Trail. Amazing scenery. Couldn't help but wonder what it must have been like when when that mountain blew and all that lava went everywhere!
We walked around the Wupatki National Monument. Fascinating walking among the remnants of early civilizations, imagining what their lives might have been like.
We hiked down and around Walnut Canyon. Another fascinating walk into the remnants of an early civilization.
Next time we make plans for the Flagstaff area we would definitely stay here again.

Quiet. Dark sky. Lots of space between sites. Just one of our favorite places to go to recoup!
