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.

Great spot to serve as the center to explore the Greater Flagstaff area. From the Grand Canyon to Sedona to Meteor Crater to the lava flows on your doorstep, all within a couple of minutes drive of downtown Flagstaff.

We absolutely loved Bonito Campground. We were so impressed by the obvious care that the camp hosts take to make the place clean and pleasant. From the bathrooms to the roadway and paths, the entire place was beautifully kept. We felt safe and relaxed the entire four nights we were there. The location is wonderful with easy access to the National monuments and to Flagstaff and other great places to sightsee and hike. We visited Wupatki, Sunset Crater, and Walnut Creek Canyon. The number of ancient pueblos in the area is astounding and we explored many of them. And visiting the volcanic areas is fascinating. You can't go wrong in this area. We will definitely return to this terrific campground. Thank you to the hosts for making this a fantastic experience.

If you are a tent camper, know that generators are allowed from 7 AM - 10 PM. Our neighbors - although kind and smiling - turned on their gas powered generator promptly at 7 AM and ran this until 10 PM. My husband and I ended up putting in our noise canceling headphones and listening to music. Wish we could have heard the wind through the pines and bird song instead.
