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.

Campground is in very nice shape and well-kept, located very close to the Sunset Volcano (where you can get cell reception).

The hosts were very pleasant to interact with and helped us adjust our campsites to stay a couple more nights without an issue. Beautiful weather. We will plan on returning again.

Our campground was clean, as were the facilities. Only negative was that much of the site (but not all) had a slight slope making ideal tent placement options limited
