Homolovi State Park

Nothing to complain about, bathrooms were clean and supplied (even in the T.P. crisis of 2020), we had good cell service, water and electric avail as stated, site was fairly level and black-topped.

Nothing around - which is why we go rv'ing. Spaces were far enough from each other to enjoy the wide open space of the area. When people did come by everyone seemed happy.

Firepits and bbq pits at all sites that I could tell. Our bbq pit must have been hit in the past because the side was all bent and hard to adjust the grate.

The 40 is far enough away we did not hear the vehicles, but we could hear the trains - not super loud, but we ould hear them. Like an ice cream truck on the next road over in a neighborhood. The small access roads around the park close around 5 so noone is traveling on the side roads during the night.

We stopped over for 1 night. Its a quick 5 minutes off Interstate 40 just to the north. Exit 257 west bound. We stayed in site 26. Its a very nice site with 30/20 amp electrics and water. We used the online system to reserve the site. The Arizona State Parks website is user friendly and easy to figure whats sites are available. They charge $5 plus the site fee (which for our site was $20) The bathrooms and showers are clean and average to above average. The entire campground appears to have recently been renovated. The pavement looks new and the sites appear to be very level. We will stop here again. Very good cell service with AT&T showing 4 bars and LTE.

We were traveling thru and wanted to stop and see Meteor Crater and the Petrified (rainbow) Forest. We got here late, around 9 p.m.. The self pay was super easy, the roads were great and well marked. There are a lot of pull thru spaces. We chose spot 5. The site is level, clean, has a fire pit, a fire ring, picknick table and trees. There were only a few other campers in the park and spaced far apart. There is water , 30/50 amp service at the site and a dump station at the entrance. Other people were showing up after us, so I guess no one will be standing on the corner in Winslow Arizona tonight.

Campground was peaceful and quiet. Roomy spaces at 50 ft and neighbors weren't close to us. Great sunsets and sunrises. Site was level. They were having some issues with the main water line but we had water most of the time during our stay. They do shut down water when the temps dip below freezing at night to prevent freezing but wasn't a big deal to us.

Cell signal was weak and our Verizon plans got around 1-2 Mbps download and our ATT hotspot was below 1 Mbps.

They offer once a month star parties where they open up their observatory near the visitor center and others bring their scopes as well. Since the park is a Dark Sky park (which means it is very dark at night) it is great for star gazing. We saw Saturn and the Andromeda galaxy. We also took the tour to the Homolovi IV ruins as part of our fee. Great access to Winslow and the Meteor Crater and Petrified Nat'l Park. This site is sacred Hopi land and is still actively used so it is to be respected in my opinion. Really great place to camp.

I recommend eating at the Turquoise room in town at the La Posada inn. Totally unique place with local food.

Access is now a breeze since the roads appear newly paved throughout. I didnt have a reservation but got a spot. And I didnt need hookups, so cant speak to those. My site isnt level, even with my leveling blocks, but good enough for a 19ft class B. Sites 39 and 41 across from me look very level, and 41 has a deciduous tree that provides quite a bit of afternoon shade. Both are for smaller rigs like mine.

Contrary to the experience of others, the woman who checked me in at the visitors center was one of the most uncommunicative sourpusses I've ever encountered. I almost asked if she was okay. She spoke as little as possible and never looked up. Strange behavior.

If you arrive after the visitor center closes (I think at 5) you self pay at the campground if you find a spot. I see many spots are reserved but not all.

4-5 bars on Vz with and without my booster. Didn't do a speed test.

Nice 3 day stop on our way to N.M. Spacious sites, all have beautiful sunset/sunrise views! We visited Walnut National Park, located 50+miles, and Winslow about 10+ miles, but there’s not a whole lot out here to do. However, it’s beautiful and there are a few trails and an old cemetery that we haven’t explored yet. Easy check in, friendly, knowledgeable staff and camp hosts. Haven’t used the restrooms or showers, they look newer from the outside. Excellent cell coverage!!

This was a good location for activities in Winslow, Petrified Forest / Painted Desert, Grand Falls and visiting the Meteor Crater. Very quiet park, highway and train far enough away not to be a bother.
Not much to do in the park itself, limited walking trails, enough to keep you busy for a day or two at most.
Sites are well spaced, water / electric sites only, can be very windy here.
Bathrooms, including showers, were very dated with a musty smell.

Data and cell coverage for both Verizon and AT&T required booster antennas to obtain a usable signal.

We spent a couple of nights here in March 2019 and enjoyed it. The old ruins are worth seeing and the park is just outside Winslow. Yep, we got our picture taken “standing on the corner” and a must see, 20 or so miles west on I-40, is Meteor Crater! Awesome! Our campsite was pretty level and we had electric and water hookups. There is a dump. The main roads in the park are very rough! The hosts were very nice and friendly. We recommend this park.

We had a nice time here. The site was very spacious and the park was clean. We had electric and water hookups and there is a bath house with hot showers and toilets. From here we drove to the Petrified forest/ Painted desert and into town of Winslow to stand on the corner. There are a couple of nice walks to view some ruins right in the park. Good place to check out if traveling through. There is some train noise in distance but was not an issue for us

Park is simple without sewer hook ups or water while we were there. Most of the water lines explained the camp host were ruled due to freezing during the winter. They didn't have signage at the front of the park but come to find out after we looked back in our email there was a sentence in our reservations that mentioned that it was seasonally turned off. Not super obvious so make sure you read your reservation emails closely. No thrills park but it was a place to lay our heads and you have access to the park and get to see the ruins!
