About Bonito Campground (AZ)

Bonito Campground is located 18 miles northeast of Flagstaff, near Sunset Crater/Wupatki National Monument. Elevation is 6,900 feet. 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.

Great campground and super helpful and friendly hosts. We originally had a campsite that our door did not open to the correct side, they let us change spots and we ended up with a beautiful site.

Excellent campground hosts! Excellent campground!

Please, post a map of this campground! It's shame to see so many people get there and discover that their RV or trailer is not going to fit in the spot they reserved, or they will be facing the wrong way! ExplorUS has an excellent map of the grounds and it would be very helpful to those of us trying to make reservations!!!! I can send you a scan of the map if you need it.

Beautiful campground with SO much space between most sites. You do have to drive a short distance to get Verizon signal but I prefer that sometimes. Bathrooms are spotless.
There’s no map online, so here’s some useful info: summer of 23, sites 1-22 are FF. Almost half the sites are parallel to the road. Reservable parallel/pull through ones are 28,30,31,33,36,39,41,42 and 43. Of those, 28,30,36,39,41 and 43 put your door on the street side.
