      Sandstones Retreat

      Perfect Base Camp for Off-Roading

      Sandstones is perfect for an off-road experience. They have gazebo sites, radio comm, direct access to over 100 miles of ancient trails and many culturally significant sites, and are only a few miles from Winslow.

      Homolovi State Park Campground

      Quiet of the desert

      This place is so peaceful. You can see the mesas in the distance. It's not far from Winslow or Flagstaff. But it's nice and quiet there. It has a wonderful feeling. There are many artifacts so remember to leave no trace and not move or remove anything.

      McHood Park Campground

      Enjoyable

      The City try’s is best to keep it clean and so do the camps host as we saw both city works and the host walking around picking up trash is a nice little weekend trip for dry camping. The camp host are from Winslow so they are very knowledgeable about the area and very nice and willing to help no matter the circumstances. They do have bathrooms but no showers as they are out of order. Camp sites are right by the water for good fishing or you can park up above if you do not like bugs as they are worse down by the water than on the upper campsites.

      Homolovi State Park Campground

      Great Sunsets!

      The campground is going thru some renovations, like adding a new bathroom/shower facility. While here in early Sept, all they have are porta-johns and temporary showers (that do not have hot water). Each site has a covered picnic table, fire pit, and grill. Sites have water and the option for electric. Sites are paved and some have tent pads. The evening sunsets are amazing!! Not much tree cover or shade. There are wild burros roaming the park. Only about 2 miles from Winslow, which has anything you might need.

      Meteor Crater RV Park

      Quiet, remote RV Park

      We stayed here 3 nights on Site 19.  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.  Nothing real exciting nearby except for the Meteor Crater that is worth seeing.  We drove 20 miles into  Winslow one night and 35 miles into Flagstaff another night for entertainment and dinner.

      Homolovi State Park Campground

      A hot desert gem

      Stopped here on my grand Route 66 adventure this summer. I really liked this park for several reasons. 1. It’s convenient to Route 66 (and Hwy 40); 2. It’s close to Petrified Forest National Park, which is pretty cool to explore on its own; 3. Free showers!!; 4. The campground is set back from the main park so you have a bit of privacy from day trippers; 5. Tent sites were level and well maintained (mine was raked!!); 6. All sites seemed to have hook-ups whether you needed them or not (maybe there were tent only sites, but it was all one price so no big deal); 7. The park has some great trails for hiking; 8. There is ancient pottery shards everywhere (don’t take it! Leave it for everyone to enjoy); 9. Free showers!!; 10. Not too far from Winslow, AZ, where you CAN stand on the corner.  

      Overall I enjoyed my stay here, though I got in at sunset and left shortly after the main park opened at 8am. This might be my only negative about the park. The main park and the best attractions don’t open until 8am (a ranger actually comes and opens the gates), which is much later than I tend to get moving (up with the sun and all). And with the heat of the day starting at 9:30, it’s hard to get to the sites and get in a good hike before it’s too hot.

      Meteor Crater RV Park

      Not welcoming

      If you are looking for a less crowded and easy spot off the highway this is your place! We arrived at the park and our first impression was to wonder if they were even open. Parked the RV close to the gas station that is there and entered to see if someone could help. We were immediately scolded by the woman at the desk. She advised us that in the future that is not where we park .We explained that since it was very desolate, and there was no signage as to where you should park or even enter that we promised never to make that mistake again. We booked online and assumed that having a “full hook up” included sewage as well. Our space did not have sewage, but did see the other row in front of us did have sewage. Chose not to go up front and deal with the unpleasant lady again so we stayed where we were. So if you book online double check when you enter that you will have a sewage hook up ! If you have dogs, they strictly enforce that they do not urinate or poop in any part of the park that is not designated. That means you have to walk your dog without them having to stop to pee to the dog park for them to do their business! And you’re not allowed to have them outside on a leash or enclosure so you are basically to keep them inside your camper only to go out to use the restroom and back inside! We have a nine month old puppy who loves to exert some energy we had to walk him to the dog park, which was a bit of a ways away from where we were located in order for him to go potty. Not very convenient in the middle of the night.!!!!

      Meteor Crater RV Park

      Nice little campground for a night or two

      Just a quick overnight but we were happy to see a dog park. The benches are broke and need repairs. It would be nice to sit while the dogs run around. You can hear the freeway but that makes it easier to access. Sites were level. Not crowded. Clean and well maintained.

      OK RV Park

      One night stay

      This was an okay Campground. The dog park needs some work. The little town of Holbrook is pretty cool and there is a great Navajo Historical Society Museum... Definitely worth a visit.


    Guide to Winslow

    Clear Creek runs through McHood Park Campground, creating a popular kayaking route for outdoor enthusiasts camping near Winslow, Arizona. The area sits in a high desert landscape with elevations around 5,000 feet, creating dramatic temperature swings between day and night. Most dispersed camping locations offer unobstructed views of the surrounding painted desert terrain with minimal natural shade.

    What to do

    Explore ghost town ruins: Two Guns Ghost Town allows camping near abandoned buildings and a canyon. "The dogs and I had fun exploring the ruins. There aren't any trees and its close to I-40 but the noise isn't too bad," reports Cobalt B.

    Kayak Clear Creek: McHood Park Campground offers water access for paddling. "I woke up the next morning and went for a run around the reservoir before kayaking the 6.5 mile round trip out & back along Clear Creek," writes Alex D.

    Visit Meteor Crater: The impact site is minutes from camping options. "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," notes Tom D.

    What campers like

    Level campsites: Meteor Crater RV Park provides well-maintained spaces. "Sites are well laid out but close. Clean and staff are helpful," mentions Melissa F.

    Quiet desert nights: Painted Desert Rim Drive offers isolation for stargazing. "Private, there was 1 other camper on the rim, and they were probably 1/4 mile away. The place was absolutely beautiful. No light noise to ruin the stars," explains Dana H.

    Budget-friendly options: Winslow Visitor Center permits free overnight parking. "I always appreciate when cities allow overnight parking in town. As boondockers, it's hard to explore a city and then go out to the outskirts to find a place for the night," notes Laura M.

    What you should know

    Bathroom conditions vary: Facilities at campgrounds may be limited. "Bathrooms were decent and the camping area was very clean. $15 to camp but it was well worth it," says Alex D. about McHood Park.

    Highway noise affects some sites: Take It Easy RV Park sits near I-40. "Close to I40 but road noise not too bad but makes it an easy stop," reports Rosie G.

    Train sounds continue overnight: Winslow Visitor Center parking sits near active tracks. "It's a few blocks from the fun and kitchy part of town with all the 'Standing on the Corner' things, plus some other interesting things to see," Laura M. notes.

    Campsite fees vary: Prices range from free to $40+ per night. "This is a handy place to stay if you're in Winslow. Spaces are nice and well-spaced with table and fire pit. No problem getting a space," Ronald mentions about McHood Park.

    Tips for camping with families

    Check campground accessibility: Some facilities accommodate mobility needs. "The shower and restroom at this location is some of the best I've seen so far. The only bad thing is the entryway is an extremely tall door frame on top of a concrete lip," explains Lara O. at Meteor Crater RV Park.

    Bring entertainment: Many dog-friendly campgrounds near Winslow have minimal built-in activities. "We had a great night camping at McHood Campground along Clear Creek. It was very peaceful and quiet on a Friday night," Alex D. shares.

    Pack sun protection: Shade is limited at most sites. "I find this kind of off the beaten path non-commercial history fascinating. The canyon is very pretty... We were the only ones camping," notes Cheryl T. about Two Guns Ghost Town.

    Tips from RVers

    Arrive with full tanks: Painted Desert Rim Drive Dispersed Pulloff offers no services. "A bit of rough road, paved but holy, some graffiti on the pavilion says degenerate kids where here, gravel road is beat up, but OMG THE SUNSET, you gotta see this sunset," advises SomadNomad M.

    Prepare for weather fluctuations: Temperatures can drop significantly overnight. "This is a large parking lot at the welcome center. Best for a quick stopover. This spot is adjacent to a train station and large strucks were also parked," notes Carolyn S.

    Utilize local amenities: Restaurants and services often sit near camping areas. "The Thai restaurant at the corner also owned by the park owner apparently," mentions Rosie G. about Take It Easy RV Park.

    Select sites strategically: Campgrounds offer different terrain options. "Camp sites are right by the water for good fishing or you can park up above if you do not like bugs as they are worse down by the water than on the upper campsites," advises Amber B.
