Recommendation Needed - Flagstaff

Can anyone recommend an RV park near Flagstaff? I need electrical but don't care about the rest. I'd like to stay somewhere at least 4-5 days while I visit the Arboretum and the Museum of Northern Arizona.

There is a senior commercial park, but the sites are extremely close together and i really don't care about activities and such. Anyone stay in any state parks not too far away?

Thanks

Hi Judy, I don't have an personal knowledge, but remember a forum member posting from AZ. You might PM Robin and ask how she like Dairy Springs.

wish I had more knowledge of the camping aspects of Flagstaff especially since its so close to home but I the only time I overnighted in a campground
was a good 20 or 30 years ago and it was in a campground off I 17 at Munds Park. Last time I drove by there it looked like it had some park models
in it as well as just some overnights. I know thats no help but north of Flagstaff there is an area just on the outskirt of town that has some camping.
Several places along that north end of 89 along the outskirts of town including a KOA.

Judy - have you checked rvparkreviews.com? Taking the high and low and tossing them, then looking at the comments has helped me when I didn't have recommendations about an area.

We stayed at Black Bart's campground. It was ok. Full hookups, easy to get to. Restaurant with live music. Also stayed at a KOA one time, which was also easy to access. My sister stayed in a national park with no hookups, south of Flagstaff going towards Sedona. If you're interested, I'll try to get the name. carold

I have also heard good things about Dead Horse State Park. I'm looking for ideas because it's now looking like I may be spending Christmas at the Grand Canyon.

Especially looking a comments. I have learned that what they grade it isn't important - but the comments are. Sometimes a low grade is because the park didn't have all the amenities you don't need - and a high grade can be for those same things. Read and read with a grain of salt - but use that sight - it really does help - especially after you've gotten to more of the places and can compare your thoughts with what others have written.

I have been through Flagstaff - but don't think stayed in it.

I ended up spending four nights at the Bonita Campground near Sunset Crater National Monument. No power or cell phone coverage or internet, but really a beautiful and quiet place that I would recommend to anyone! I had #7 was the most level site I think I have ever had--asphalt and very long. Only $9 per night for seniors, also.

So, because I need to have the Dell technician come out, I am spending a few more days at J&H RV park in Flagstaff. I dislike the spots being so close together and the road noise, but I need to get some work done for a couple of days and thus need to be closer to town. I have to admit that I AM enjoying the cable tv, however, and might even order pizza for dinner. Just not so scenic here or peaceful here.
