   Chambers, Arizona

   There is no RV, car, or front country camping in the park. There is no boondocking, dispersed or “primitive” camping, or just pulling off into a parking area.

   There is only backpacking/hiking into the designated Petrified Forest National Wilderness Area to spend the night in the park, at least a half mile from your vehicle. Please be prepared for this adventure! Remember to LNT.

   The backpacking wilderness permit is free. You may obtain it in person from either visitor centers on the day that you want to backpack. Each vehicle must have a permit. The permits are available until 4:30 pm.

   There are private campgrounds throughout Navajo and Apache Counties, in and around Holbrook, Sun Valley, St. Johns, Joseph City, and other communities.

   Groups

   Group camping is limited to 8. Because of the fragile soils and landscape features, minimum impact camping is very important. This includes limiting the number of people within an area.

   Crystal Forest Campground

   Woodruff, Arizona

   This is across the street from the Petrified Forest Gift Shop.

   Crystal Forest Museum and Gifts is a free campground located at the Crystal Forest Gift Shop. The campground is open all year with approximately 20 camp spots. Please check with the gift shop before parking in the camp spots. The gift shop usually closes around 5 P.M. Water and power are available however, they may be turned off during the off-season.

   The Petrified Forest National Park does not have a campground so, this might be a good option. The next closest campgrounds are 20 miles away in Holbrook. The campground is in a remote location so it can be very quiet at night.

   Note: There are two gift shops at this location. One on each side of the highway. Both have camp spots available.

   Restrooms are available while the gift shop is open.
