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.

Nice clean campground a short drive north of Flagstaff. We only stayed for one night but will definitely use it for future stops.

This campground is spacious. Plenty of distance from one space to the next. Many sights in the close vicinity, like Wupatki Indian ruins and Walnut Canyon ruins. Oak creek canyon is south for a nice day trip. Beautiful red rock country there.
May be a bit warm in summer depending on timing. Very nice park.

This is a quiet and clean campground. The camp host is always friendly. They have a small amphitheater and they put on a couple of educational slideshows for the Fourth of July holiday that was great for the kids. Unfortunately, you couldn’t have bonfire or use the camp stove due to the fires that were close by, which is understandable. Gas cooking was allowed. The only downfall is that it’s real hard to get any cell service. If any at all I don’t mind that because it’s a real get away to unplug. I have stayed at this campground a few times.

Campground clean and quiet. I will stay there again. No water for the rv but was able to fill the tank at Black Barts RV just before reaching Bonito.
