A very lovely and quite campground operated by the National Forest organisation. We booked our site in advance just to be on the safe side. Some sites are available only on a first-come-first-safe basis. We stayed for two nights and enjoyed it. Nestled in a forest with mature trees .... and cooler temperatures during the night.

We camped one night in a first come - first serve site with a motorhome, no utilities. The campground is well maintained and the camp host is friendly and helpful. The park is off the beaten path and very quiet. Lots of good tree cover for shade. There are 44 sites, half able to be reserved, the rest FF. Firewood and ice are available for purchase. The campground is next to Sunset Crater which is a must are. Lots of hiking opportunities and the loop drive to Wupatki National Monument was beautiful.

Campsite is very clean. Sites are far enough away from one another you don’t feel like you’re on top of one another. The pricing for the firewood and ice is very reasonable and comparable to what you’d pay at the grocery store.

Our family stayed at Bonito for the second time this weekend. It’s absolutely beautiful, clean restrooms, firewood and ice available for purchase, friendly host and enough space between campsites that you have plenty of room to relax and play with your own group. We will be making this an annual family tradition!

We stay here for four nights during the week of Memorial Day (May 24-27, 2024), site was 44, which is a pull in drive way, fit a trailer and a sedan. (Keep in mind there is a fee for a second vehicle.) Not to far from the restroom ( the cleanest restroom there is) the host really take care of the place, has a facet for cleaning or getting water ( just don't wash your dishes there, not allow) Be ware if ya'll are heading in the summer, there was a few yellowjacket and wasp, we brought a trap to prevent getting strung, didn't get strung but get one if you needed. There were a couple of flies, friend got a fly trapper too so took care of that. When we went, there weren't mosquitos but again, we got a spray and sprayed just in case. I had t-mobile and there wasn't any signal, but if you drive out of the campground, you get signal right away. The site was pretty decent, you can put two tents and have a lot of room, fire pit was pretty deep, a nice concrete picnic table and trees all around; which you can bring a hammock and tied around the truck. Across of the site was the Sunset Crater Visitor Center that leads you to the Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument, worth the drive and visit, there's a few view spots that you can bring food to have a picture and the views are just spectacular. This site is about an hour and forty-five minutes away from the Grand Canyon, about thirty minutes away from Flagstaff for your grocery needs. They don't have showers here but I recommend ya'll to shower at Little America Travel Center (2515 East Butler Ave, Flagstaff, AZ 86004) showers were only $15.00 (tax included) and they have a freaking bathtub with a separate shower. You have an hour to take a shower or bath, they provide with one towel, hand towel and a mat towel. Especially after a long day at the Grand Canyon, a much needed shower that last more than thirty minutes is great. I hope this reviews helps to anyone that is planning a trip there.

We enjoy this campground, we have a 32 ft RV. There's no hook- ups or dump station but the environment is clean and family oriented with lots of pine trees, asphalt pads and roads. Most of the time quiet hours are enforced and most of the visitors are friendly with a wave. Fee is $26 per night. There's no phone service so that's a negative or a plus depending on your view of things.

A beautiful campground in a gorgeous area. The washrooms are very clean & have flush toilets and sinks for hand-washing, plus each includes a handicap-accessible stall. They sell ice and firewood on-site. The campground itself is in pine forest with volcanic sand/gravel. Some sites have a fully paved concrete area for the table & fire pit, and others are fully gravel/sand. There's a lovely amphitheater down a very accessible path, too.

Fantastic campsite just north of Flagstaff. The host was kind and helpful, the local scenery was wonderful, and my stay was peaceful and rejuvenating. I took a few after-dark pictures to try to capture some of the moderately dark-sky ambiance. Would love to come back.
