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.

It was are third time camping at Bonito Campground. The cleanest bathrooms we have ever seen in a campground. The camp hosts are friendly and are there if you need anything. Great campground and we will be back!

Nicely spaced, paved campsites that are mostly level. Potable water spigots are available at the restrooms but no spigots to fill RV tanks. These are all dry camp sites with no hookups. Tent camping is available.

The campground is located within a grove of ponderosa pines and is one of the cleanest campgrounds we’ve ever been to. Everything from the fire pits to grills are spotless. The restrooms are equally clean and surpass any truck stop restroom.

The hosts, Frank and Sandy were exceptional. Friendly, extremely helpful and always cruising the park keeping things organized like a well tuned machine.

The pull through sites are narrow. They’re fine if your rig doesn’t have slides but staying on the pavement without sending your slides into traffic can be difficult.

Being able to camp so close to Sunset Crater and Wupatki meant prime wildlife viewing at dusk and dawn (especially elk) and uncrowded trails. Campground was in pristine condition.

Really appreciated the roominess of site 31. Plenty of space and not on top of the neighbors.

quiet, serene, sniff of ponderosa despite the smoke passing nearby. It is recovering well from its own fire and closure.

The hosts were exceptional and kept the grounds beautifully well groomed.
It’s great that the entrance to Sunset Crater National Park / Wupatki monument were right next door.
