Homolovi
Overview
Homolovi State Park offers a profound connection to the past, preserving several ancestral sites of the Hopi people. Located just outside Winslow, this park serves as an open-air museum where visitors can explore ancient pueblo ruins dating back hundreds of years. Staying here provides a quiet, reflective atmosphere under the expansive Arizona sky, making it much more than a simple overnight stop. It is a place where history and heritage take center stage for every visitor.
Location & Surroundings
Set within the high desert landscape of Northern Arizona, the park is positioned near the banks of the Little Colorado River. The terrain is characterized by low-growing sagebrush and wide-open vistas that stretch toward the horizon. On clear days, the San Francisco Peaks are visible in the distance. The park sits at an elevation of nearly 5,000 feet, offering cooler evenings and a distinct sense of solitude and space well away from the noise of the main highway.
Amenities & Park Features
The campground is well-equipped for modern RVers, featuring paved pull-through sites that easily accommodate larger rigs. Most sites offer 30-amp or 50-amp electrical hookups and access to fresh water. While there are no sewer hookups at the individual sites, a convenient dump station is located within the park grounds. Travelers also benefit from clean restroom facilities, hot showers, and covered picnic tables at every site to provide necessary shade during the sunny desert afternoons.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Beyond the onsite archaeological trails, the park is a gateway to the famous Standin' on the Corner Park in downtown Winslow. A short drive leads to the massive Meteor Crater or the historic La Posada Hotel. For those willing to travel slightly further, the Petrified Forest National Park and Painted Desert offer world-class geological sightseeing. The park itself features several hiking trails that lead directly to preserved pueblo structures where pottery shards and petroglyphs can still be observed.
Who This Park Is Best For
This destination is ideal for history enthusiasts and amateur archaeologists who appreciate the deep cultural significance of the American Southwest. Because of its remote feel and lack of light pollution, it is also a premier spot for stargazers and night-sky photographers. RVers who prefer a quiet, natural environment over a crowded resort atmosphere will find Homolovi to be a peaceful retreat that encourages a much slower, more intentional pace of travel.

Called To Wander
Surprising nice campground! This was a last minute unplanned stay and turned out to be so nice! The sites were large and next close together. Each site had a covered area with a picnic table and fire ring. Showers were clean. Wild burros free roam the park which is really neat! We could hear them braying in evening when we were around the campfire. The ruins were really neat and there’s broken pottery everywhere! Overall a great park/campground, would stay here again!

This was a great place to camp while az was getting rain for days. It's up on a bit of a hill so we are fine. I really enjoyed watching the wild donkeys. We walked to homolovi in and loved seeing all of the pottery shards. Homolovi ii had more intact buildings and really nice walkway.

Such a beautiful park! I wish I could have stayed longer! The spots were great not to close. Most sites had a covered picnic table and grill. I was on site 5 and mine didn't have a cover but a nice tree that my picnic table was under. There was a restroom and look like showers but I didn't go in. The building itself looked new. It was pretty busy.

Loved our two night stopover here. There are showers and flush toilets that are all very well maintained and clean. The park is beautiful and very quiet ... no train noise but you see them off on the horizon and I know there are reviews of other parks that mention the noise so that was a bonus for us! The sites are large with a cabana and picnic table at each one. Just a 13 minute drive to the infamous "Standin' on the corner" location. Another review mentioned a very bumpy ride into the site, that has been fixed and it's not bad at all... would NOT stop me from going at all! Highly recommend this spot!

Amazing campground within the state park. Most sites have electric and water. There is a dump station and new bathrooms and showers. Views and sunsets are fantastic. Wild burros throughout the park and sometimes in the campground. Ancient Pueblo ruins within the park.

We had a great time at the park! We saw the coolest lizards, crows, donkeys and a wonderful view! The ranger at the visitor center was very knowledgeable and helpful. They also have an excellent gift shop.

Homolovi State Park is a hidden gem. The ancient Hopi ruins offer a fascinating glimpse into the past, and the peaceful desert landscape is perfect for quiet reflection. The campground is clean, with spacious sites and basic amenities. Sunsets and stargazing here are unforgettable. A must-visit for history buffs and nature lovers alike.

Extraordinary park to learn about the Hopi culture and archeology. Ranger Ken and Gwen are incredibly knowledgeable having spent 35 years at the park. We had the best tour and pottery demonstration rivaling any park I have ever been too. The campground is great and has 50 and 30-amp service and a sewer dump. The bathrooms are very clean and the views and space between campsites is great. Lots to see in the Winslow area, Crater. petrified forest, LaPosada,,,,, A must on your Arizona experience list!

What a beautiful campground. It is so convenient to I-40. We did see the ruins which are very interesting. The spots are nice and big and we even had two trees! We saw the wild burrows on and off the entire time. Would definitely return in the future.
