J & H RV Park is nice enough as a commercial campground. Big Rig OK. We were there last fall. On US-89 just NE of the town. Only issue, and this is a Flagstaff power issue, not the park, is sometimes one leg of the power will be high – or low. Had to use the 30amp plug due to very high power on one leg, (That’s why we strongly recommend a true power monitoring / protection system – not just a “surge” protector. Saved the rig – again.)

Of the ones we’ve stay at in Flagstaff we thought this one was the best for our purpose. Nice sites and room for a commercial operation. In the summer especially you’ll need reservations. A lot of people from the Phoenix area come up here in the summer and park “full-time.”

Thanks for the reply, must not be many people that go to that area.

Sunset Crater National Park (Monument?). Very nice CG under big pines.

If just for overnight stay, Black Bart's RV Park. Easy access to I-40

There are a great many things to see around Flagstaff. The number of “destination parks” there is – well – limited. But still a nice enough place to stay.

The Grand Canyon Village - South Rim is only 100 miles and you can make the loop drive in a day and easily make it back to Flagstaff. Go up State Road 64 north off I-40 west of Flagstaff to the GC Village. (There is camping in GC – but make rez.) Then east on SR-64 over to GC east entrance to join US-89 back to Flagstaff.

The Lowell Observatory is right there in Flagstaff – really neat place. A great drive down Alt-US-89 from Flagstaff to Sedona. Great one-day drive down and back up I-17. Walnut Canyon is just east off I-40 as is Meteor Crater as was noted. As noted Sunset Crater National Monument is just up north on US-89, right up from the park I mentioned in previous post.

Really nice area and you’re at 7,000 feet. We didn't go there for the park. But if your looking long term it is a nice place to stay in the summer.

There’s more. Enjoy the hunt . . .

We stay in the Camp Verde/Cottonwood (Sedona) area and only go into Flagstaff about once per stay for the stores. Lots of places to stay in Camp Verde/Cottonwood area.

Agree, we like Camp Verde near Cottonwood. Good spot between Phoenix and Flagstaff depending on time of year.

Camp Verde looks really nice. I am going to add that to our list.
