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.

Lovely campground located right next door to Sunset Crater National Monument. The pull in spaces are not very big though. It would very helpful to have the length of each parking space before making the reservation. Very difficult to park our rig in the pull in space. Had to park our truck over by the amphitheater.

Very popular campsite just north of Flagstaff. No cell service, but some connectivity via Starlink. Campsites are well spaced, and have mostly level asphalt pads. Very quiet at night.

The camp hosts were friendly and very helpful. They were available throughout our trip to answer questions. The campsites are spacious and offer shade, a table, grill and fire pit. We loved that this campground has flush toilets and water available to refill a water jug.

Very simple and lowkey. Unbelievably convenient for those wishing to take their time checking out the three national monuments near by or as mid point to the Grand Canyon
