Coconino/Pinegrove
Overview
Overview
The Pinegrove Campground, nestled within the Coconino National Forest, offers a quintessential high-altitude escape for nature enthusiasts. Managed by the U.S. Forest Service, this site provides a rustic experience defined by its towering Ponderosa pines and quiet mountain atmosphere. It serves as an excellent basecamp for those looking to trade modern resort amenities for the serenity of the outdoors, making it a perfect spot for travelers seeking an authentic forest camping experience in northern Arizona.
Location & Surroundings
Located just south of Flagstaff, Arizona, the campground is perfectly positioned for those who enjoy the crisp mountain air. Situated at an elevation of approximately 7,000 feet, the area is surrounded by the Coconino National Forest, which provides a stunning backdrop of dense woods and winding trails. Its proximity to major highways makes it accessible for travelers, yet the dense tree cover provides a sense of isolation that feels far removed from the bustle of city life.
Amenities & Park Features
The facility maintains a rugged, minimalist profile designed for self-contained RVs and campers. Guests will find basic amenities including vault toilets and picnic tables, as well as fire rings for evening gatherings under the stars. Because this is a national forest site, it does not provide water or electrical hookups at individual sites, meaning campers must be prepared for dry camping. The spacious, shaded sites are well-suited for those who prefer a natural, unpaved environment.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Adventure awaits just outside the park gates with numerous hiking and biking trails that crisscross the surrounding forest landscape. Travelers can easily reach the iconic downtown Flagstaff area for local dining and cultural experiences or take a day trip to the Grand Canyon. Nature photographers and bird watchers will find the diverse ecosystem of the high desert plateau particularly rewarding, especially during the vibrant summer months when the forest is lush and teeming with wildlife.
Who This Park Is Best For
This campground is ideal for the independent RVer who prioritizes nature over on-site resort comforts. If you enjoy boondocking or dry camping and prefer a peaceful, scenic setting, you will feel right at home here. It is particularly well-suited for hikers, mountain bikers, and those seeking an affordable, authentic way to explore the beauty of northern Arizona without the crowds associated with larger, highly developed commercial RV parks.

Extremely crowded, you’ll be very close to other people. The bathrooms/showers are frequently out of service, and basic maintenance doesn’t seem to be a priority, yet they still charge full price. Be ready to pay $34/night to be packed in tight, with teens partying, kids screaming, and having to use a portable potty. Pick a better place.

Pinegrove Campground is one of our favorites. Always clean, nice paved parking in each site, nice tent camp spot at each site, no hookups but thats ok. Flush restrooms, showers and dump station were out of order this trip due to a fire. Portable restrooms were provided and lots of potable water was trucked in to each bathroom. Love Love Love Pinegrove.

Pine Grove for Memorial Day weekend was a great campsite and all the previous reviews were spot on. My only complaint was that nobody posted pictures of the showers and bathrooms, and I know I can’t be the only one who wanted to see them first, so you’re all welcome.

Beautiful site very quiet. Saw elk in the morning. Limited services - water and dump at the facility but not at each site.
