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 was very well taken care of and neighbors were awesome. Only complaint would be about one of the camp hosts, the rest of them were great but only one stood out, she came off rude most of the time she came around. Not sure if she was like that with other groups but she definitely came off rude with our group.

This is a nice, clean, well kept place. Weather was great in early October when I visited. Sites are decently spaced, but there is line of sight between most of them.

When I reserved my spot on-line, I was asked how many vehicles I would have. I answered 2. When the second vehicle pulled into the campground (1 day later) , they were stopped and asked, "at what site you are camping?". When they stated 29, they were charged $10. It would be helpful for the hosts to have access to this information so that they wouldn't double charge the guests. Thanks for listening.
