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.

Wonderful campground hosts, clean restrooms, quiet camping @ site #23. Sunset Crater very nearby is really interesting and has several trails accessible for everyone. Large wildfire a few years ago burned tens of thousands of acres but the Parks Service has done very well getting it back open safely.

The hosts were wonderful, they were kind and very helpful.
The volcano nearby was a nice experience.
Our group loved our site and cannot wait to come back.

This is an absolutely gorgeous forested campground! It’s clean with excellent space between sites! The camp hosts are welcoming, friendly, and helpful. The road in the campground is paved, as are the RV spots. It’s near Sunset Crater Volcano, so has some interesting and out-of-the-ordinary topography. The bathrooms have flush toilets with great soap and paper towels at the sink. It’s the little things sometimes! There is almost no cell phone coverage; a text or notification came through randomly. The only thing we didn’t love was that when backing into our site, the door and awning were on the opposite side of our campsite table and fire pit.
