About

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.

Interesting, Easy In and Out

This is a unique experience. The campsites are outlined in petrified wood and the gift shops have fascinating pieces. We had a site with electricity, $27 a night but you can boondock for free; no amenities. It is just outside the south entrance to Petrified Forest National Park.

Free Boondocking

The gift shop is closed. Boondocking is free. No Electric, water or toilets. There are a handful of sites that have a covered picnic table. My stay was quiet. No complaints
