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.

We’ve stayed here several times and have always found it quiet and peaceful. We have only stayed one night at a time as it’s always along our journey out of the state. The walk over to the lava flow is lovely.

Bonito is a quiet and peaceful campground during the week days. It is a very well maintained campground. It is set in the Pine forest North East of Flagstaff. Verizon and T-Mobile cell phone service is practically non existent.

Right next to lava flows. Way gnarly.

Sites are huge so spreading out is easy.

Super-clean bathrooms.

Camp hosts deserve huge props. Very kind and helpful.

We will be visiting again.

As usual, Bonita Campground was lovely to visit! Our spot, #40 was perfect and we had the attraction seeing camel's for the talk on Saturday night! All in all, wonderful!

Bonito lives up to its name. It is very nice, pretty. Slots are very ample with lots of space in-between. Good shade. The hosts were great. The facilities clean. Some good trails to walk. Nice to have the National Monument nearby and also the road up to the lookout. Would warn people that T-Mobile has NO service here, that you have to go out to Hwy 89 en route back to Flagstaff to get signal, or if you hike up the trail toward O'Leary Peak. Actually it's not a trail but an uninspired forest road up that hill nearby.
