3 campgrounds with availability next weekend
Flagstaff RV Park (formerly Greer's Pine Shadows) offers 70 sites with full hookups including both 30 and 50 amp electrical service, nestled among tall pines along Highway 89. Black Bart's RV Park, located on Butler Avenue, provides year-round access with big-rig friendly sites, full hookups, and a unique on-site steakhouse with musical entertainment. Several RV parks in the Flagstaff area feature level gravel sites with varying degrees of spacing between neighbors. Kit Carson RV Park on Route 66 accommodates larger motorhomes with pull-through sites and complete hookups, though it maintains a more utilitarian atmosphere. "This campground is for RV only. You need a 2000 year RV and newer. They have complete RV hook ups. Staff is really great," noted one visitor about Black Bart's, highlighting the modern RV requirements at some parks.
Most Flagstaff RV campgrounds remain open year-round, though J & H RV Park operates seasonally from May through October. Highway noise can be noticeable at parks situated near I-17 or Route 66, with train sounds occasionally audible at night. Cell service varies by location, with most parks offering reliable connectivity for remote workers. Dump stations are available at several facilities including Kit Carson and Munds Park RV Resort, while others like Flagstaff RV Park lack this amenity. Pet-friendly policies are standard across most parks, though specific restrictions may apply. For RVers seeking proximity to attractions, the Grand Canyon Railway RV Park in Williams provides a convenient base approximately 30 miles west of Flagstaff with full hookup sites and big rig access. These RV campgrounds near Flagstaff serve as excellent basecamps for exploring northern Arizona's attractions, including the Grand Canyon, Sedona, and Coconino National Forest. Advance reservations are strongly recommended during summer months and fall foliage season when occupancy rates peak.
"Full hookups. Separate "long term" and "transient" areas. Super clean. Nice bathrooms, showers, and laundry. Main attraction is on site is the Black Bart's Steakhouse and Musical Review."
"Short and long term available. Staff is really great. But don't mess around, they'll boot you for infractions of their rules, they won't have any of it."
from $75 - $82 / night

"Its a well kept park with amenities such as a private trail head leading out into national forest, a dog park, and a seasonal laundry mat. Just a short drive away from dining and shopping!"

"Friendly Staff, Clean, Centrally Located to Historic Downtown"
"Perfect new park very centrally located to downtown Flagstaff. Great amenities and very peaceful."
"I had an ebike the second stay and I explored some of the roads and wilderness campgrounds in the surrounding area. The pool and hot tub are a few minute walk from the new campground area. "
"There is direct trail OHV trail access out the back gate of the campground which means no need to travel to a staging area."
from $999 / night
"The spaces are approximately nice distance apart with trees and picnic tables."
"Called around noon and they accommodated us. Level sites, easy hookups. Rather small dog area - surprising since they have room and a lot of dogs there."
"Not bad for a night’s stay, especially if you’re not using their facilities. We had full hookups and spent most of the night in downtown Flagstaff, just needed somewhere to park the rig."
"Spot E2 was a bit tight to back up into, needing to weave in-between obstacles. 220 power wasn't working, but maintenance was out here immediately and fixed it."
"Really enjoyed our quiet stay here at Pine View. The campground is for military/retirees only, and is very quiet."
"30 per night, whether you use the dump station and dumpster or not. Sites are pretty level with lots of space. Railroad tracks nearby, but the trains didn't bother me."
"This place made our first camp spot with our new travel trailer a breeze. All sites are pull through, and level, with all types of sites available. Free dump and air compresser."
"Gravel, level, pull through site. Close to but not on top of neighboring RVs. Dirt Dog Park. Nice Laundry facilities. Front desk staff pleasant at check in. "
from $30 - $55 / night
"We have a 30ft travel trailer and we had a back-in spot this time. Actually our very first back-in spot. Full hook-ups were clean and user-friendly."
"Very friendly staff and convenient location to the railway into the Grand Canyon."
TravelerHighly recommend this park. The amenities are fantastic and if you are a rail fan you can watch the Grand Canyon Railway go and return every day. Close to I-40 so some noise there but all of Williams is like that. There is a helipad not far and there is some noise from the air ambulance coming and going at any hour of the day but also kind of fun to watch.
TravelerFriendly staff. Clean.
GuideThe road up to this is fine for almost all rigs, the turn into the campsite will be tight. They have no camping signs along road 525c, although the map from the forest shows camping is allowed along this road. Make a right on road 9529 and there is a great campsite immediately on the left. It has a circle turn around. Incredible views, great hiking and no one around for miles. The BLM camping on road 525 is crowded. No one on this road. I get the sense they are trying to get people not to camp, but the maps show it is completely allowed. We are here in October and the weather is 70 degrees. Note that when dirt roads get wet, it is a whole different story. Coordinates are 34.87989889666775,-111.94793655703302.
I did buy a wilderness pass from the Arizona forest service. $20 for the year.
ScoutPrice is very high and campground has a lot of people living in the park long term. Very noisy, vehicles coming and going constantly with doors slamming and people coming and going. Hard to rest.
GuideThis is a great spot with 360 views and stellar sunsets. There is no shade and it gets pretty warm with the sun beating down. There are quite a few large spots to accommodate big rigs. HOWEVER- I arrived on a Monday around noon and got one of the last spots. Several campers have arrived looking for spots since I got here (it’s Tuesday). This is clearly a popular spot so have a back up plan. All the campers are closer than usual for dispersed camping. But they were all quiet during my time here.
TravelerNice staff. Pretty clean. $65 a night with taxes is the rate I paid. Lots of trails behind the park going up to the mountain. Mary's cafe across the street - family owned - with bar and bar, and karaoke on weekends.
GuideA bit on the expensive side for a 22 foot RV is $50 night and it’s not allowed to put an additional RV of 20 feet in the same spot even though they assigned us a pull through site with more than enough room for a 20 foot vehicle. The women’s showers at Cooper’s Hawk Tail Loop were moldy and soap scum on the shower walls. Hottest water was only on the warm side. If you are not a paid camper in the campground there is a $20 (yes $20!) charge for a shower…self pay at the kiosk by the showers/toilets. Staff at the check in kiosk very helpful.
ScoutNice facilities but we found that some of the people working here aren’t very nice.
ScoutRoad was rocky in places but manageable. Portapotty is nice to have at a free campsite.
Flagstaff RV parks offer campers high-elevation camping at 7,000 feet, where summer temperatures typically range 20-30 degrees cooler than Phoenix or Tucson. Most Flagstaff camping areas experience significant temperature drops at night, even in summer months, with frost possible into June and snow sometimes arriving by September. Campgrounds in the pine forests provide natural shade but limited cell service in some remote locations.
Hiking trails access: Flagstaff RV Park (formally Greer's Pine Shadows) connects directly to local trail networks. "I love walking out the back gate right onto a wonderful network of trails, everything from easy walking to a run on the AZT to a solid hike up Elden Mountain," notes one camper. The trails are accessible year-round with proper equipment.
Visit Meteor Crater: Located 35 miles east of Flagstaff, this geological wonder makes an excellent day trip from Meteor Crater RV Park. A visitor shared: "Meteor Crater is a well presented privately held site. We commented that the displays and information definitely showed great stewardship of this geological attraction. We easily spent 3-4 hours at the crater."
Grand Canyon train excursions: Take a historic train journey from Williams to the South Rim. "We rode the train, visited the hotel pool, used the dryer, and enjoyed the town immensely," reports one family who stayed at Grand Canyon Railway RV Park. The train departs daily, eliminating Grand Canyon driving and parking concerns.
Pine forest settings: Many appreciate the natural surroundings. "The park is beautiful! Nestled in the pines. Staff was very helpful, and the property is very well maintained," said a guest at Flagstaff RV Park. The tall ponderosa pines provide shade and a classic mountain atmosphere.
Private sites: Some parks offer more secluded spots. "Mix of resident, summer birds, and weekenders. Great access to trail system - prefer this place over the adjacent KOA," shared a reviewer about Flagstaff RV Park. Sites among trees often provide more privacy than open layouts.
Clean facilities: Campground cleanliness ranks high in reviews. At Distant Drums RV Resort, a camper noted: "This place was spotless. Beautiful walkways that were lit up it felt like you were walking through an upscale neighborhood at night." Many parks maintain well-kept bathrooms and shower facilities, though winter closures occur at some locations.
Train noise considerations: Railway lines run near several Flagstaff area campgrounds, particularly in Williams. "There is a train that goes last about twice every night and blows the horn (so that wakes you up at about 3am and 5am)," warns a visitor to Grand Canyon Railway RV Park. Earplugs may be necessary for light sleepers.
Weather variability: Mountain weather changes rapidly in all seasons. At Camp Navajo/Pine View RV Park, a visitor reported: "Gravel sites, mostly level, water and electric, there is a dump and dumpster. Nice hidden away place great for a couple of nights." Pack for variable conditions regardless of season.
Reservation requirements: Some parks have strict policies. A camper at Munds Park RV Resort observed: "A minimum $50 penalty is assessed if you make any change to your reservation after hanging up the phone when making them. Latest change must be no later than 72 hrs before arrival with added cost penalties." Always confirm cancellation policies when booking.
Pool access: Some facilities offer swimming pools, especially valuable during summer. "We loved our site it had so much space and we were shaded by beautiful trees! The staff was super helpful and friendly! Pool, grounds, and amenities were pristine!" shared a family at Munds Park RV Resort.
Game rooms: Indoor entertainment helps during bad weather. At Distant Drums RV Resort, a family reported: "This may be our favorite Park so far, after many games of foosball and air hockey." Inquire about indoor amenities when making reservations, especially for spring and fall visits.
Pet facilities: Many RV parks provide dog-friendly areas. "The dog park is nice sized and has poop bags and garbages. The whole RV park has poop bags and garbages around it- which is awesome!" noted a visitor to Munds Park RV Resort. Pet restrictions vary by campground.
Site navigation: Some parks offer assistance with parking. A reviewer at Distant Drums RV Resort appreciated that "Roxanne escorted us to our spot and saved us an afternoon argument by guiding my husband backing into our spot." Ask about arrival procedures when making reservations.
Accessibility concerns: Campground layouts vary in wheelchair-friendliness. At Meteor Crater RV Park, a visitor noted: "The RV sites have the difficulty that they have gravel entryways and my wheelchair continue to get stuck because they weren't compacted quite enough. The maintenance worker was more than willing to bring a sheet of plywood to get me from the road into the RV."
Age restrictions: Some parks limit older RVs. A reviewer shared specific requirements for Black Bart's RV Park: "This campground is for RV only. You need a 2000 year RV and newer. They have complete RV hook ups. Short and long term available." Always check vehicle age policies before booking.
