Homolovi State Park

Overall, this a very clean, easy to navigate, and enjoyable park. Pull through sites big enough to easily accommodate our 65ft rig. Do be warned that large sites tend to have the hookups on the wrong side and pushed back toward the entry of the pad, so bring long hoses to hook up with. All sites are asphalt pads with a fire ring and picnic table. There is well maintained foliage in different areas and campsites. Sites are close, but not on top of each other. We found the restrooms to be very clean. Showers are older and not quite as nice, but not the worst we have seen. Sites are electric only or water and electric, there is sewar at any site, but there is a very clean, easy to use dump station. We arrived on a Sunday and stayed 3 days. We found the park to be VERY quiet and allowed for private exploration whether on foot or bicycle. The visitor center and Homolovi I Archaeological sites are within 1.5mi of the campground so a nice walk, but also easily drivable. Homolovi II is several miles from the campground and may be better suited for a drive for most people. This is also a short drive to downtown Winslow, AZ, which is a wonderful afternoon outing. At about $30/night this is an excellent value, if you want to see wildlife, hike and/or bike, and just relax. Do know that it does not have a playground or other children dedicated amenities.

A nice state park where native American settlement ruins have been preserved. This is in a desert area with natural landscaping - low growing bushes and ground covers. Some were blooming when we were there. The campground , between two settlements, has full hook ups (or no electricity sites) and a dump station. Sites are paved and relatively flat, mostly back ins, but there are a number of pull-throughs that simply run parallel to the loop road, so not very deep. Big rigs fit just fine. The two loops are quite broad, so you aren't cramped by fellow campers. There is also a restroom/bath house that could use a little sprucing up, but is quite adequate. There is a Ranger/camp host on site. The Visitor Center is tucked a bit into the park. Information about the area and its former inhabitants is available, along with souvenirs. You can see Rt 40 from the campground, but it is far enough away that you can't hear the traffic. We had a very restful stay.

Homolovi State Park was an amazing camping experience...one that we stumbled upon, unaware of its rich history. Our site, 39, was a back in full hookup spacious, level site with a picnic table, a fire ring, and a stationary grill. Most sites are electric/water only; a few sites are water only. A bathroom/shower facility with doggie waste bags was not far from our site. Dump station and trash bins at the entrance to the campground. Upon entering, we drove to the visitors center, past the unmanned-at-the-time booth, to check in. The visitors center office also has a store, a wonderful view of the park, and historical information about the Hopi people and their homeland, now protected as Homolovi State Park. Visit the archaeological sites, Homolovi one and Homolovi two. Bike around the park or hike the Nasungvö and/or Tsu'vö trails. Visit the observatory to enjoy the night stars. Watch magnificent sunsets. Pet welcome with rules. Be respectful of the Hopi homeland.

This place is like a hidden gem. I honestly only set up camp here because it was located between two places that I wanted to visit; Meteor Crater and Petrified Forest National Park. The park ranger that I met at the visitors center was very helpful, and when I told him I was going to Petrified Forest, he provided me with some excellent information sheets that they had. The experience at the visitors center was just great. The camp site itself was clean, as was the whole park really, with clean bathrooms and showers. Unlike many of the other campgrounds I've been to, the grill on site was actually very well maintained. I think the only thing that could have made the stay more comfortable, given I camp in a tent, not a motor home, would have been something for shade. Overall, a great experience, and I will stay there again if I am in the area. Something to keep in mind, this is also an archeology site.

Homolovi is a very nice, mostly quiet, dog-friendly place to relax with the wind whipping over desert views and starry skies ar night. Water + electric camping is usually available. There is only one full hook-up site that is always reserved months in advance. The RV sites are mostly-level asphalt, clean, and well-spaced. The Ranger is very helpful, and the Visitor Center is very interesting with some excellent minerals for sale. There is no laundry, shower, grocery store, restaurant, propane, car wash, or gas station in the park, so you drive into town for any of that. Very little of the ruins have been excavated, so there is not much to see above ground. I would rate 5 stars if there were more visible ruins like Tuzigoot or Montezuma Castle. Even without visible ruins, the walking paths give a good sense of the place, and there is a strong spiritual signal here if you are open to the unseen.
