Homolovi State Park

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!

Homolovi is the only state park in the northeastern part of the state and is a good base for exploring Petrified Forest National Park and Winslow, Arizona. Our mistake was in staying 7 days, because activities in town and the surrounding area are limited, but this makes a good stop for about 3 days.

Sites are spaced out pretty well and the park is lightly used during the week, so privacy was not an issue. Our site was paved and level. Water was not yet turned on during our visit in early March, but electricity worked fine (other than randomly going out in the entire park for an hour or so one day). The showers in the bathhouse are definitely showing wear and tear, but it appeared that several were being re-tiled during our visit. They were clean, and provided ample hot water though the heater units did not seem to function.

We were disappointed that the park offers little in the way of trails -- there is one from the campground to the visitor center that is about a mile long, and the others are short paved strolled around the pueblo ruins. One could certainly just walk across the desert in this large park, but be aware there are free range cows in the park (they are fenced out of the campground).

If the forecast calls for wind, PAY ATTENTION. We have never been buffeted by such strong winds, rocking our trailer even with all our stabilizers down. Cell service on AT&T was totally adequate on our MyFi (ATT Download 26.29 Mbps Upload 3.11 Mbps) but our phones had trouble holding data signals. Coverage was strangely spotty in Winslow itself.

We loved Homolovi! We arrived very late due to three shredded tires within a 2 hour period earlier in the day (what are the odds!?!). I called and they said just to drive on in. Our site was easy to find and level. The campground is well laid out with plenty of space and stunning open views of the stark landscape. The bathrooms are nice and the placement of handicapped sites near the bathrooms with plenty of ramps was very thoughtful. Hiking around the ruins was very interesting, too. I40 is not far from the park, and though we could occasionally hear a truck in the distance it was never a distraction at our campsite. My only complaint was the deep ruts cut in the roads within the park, it shook every part of our motorhome to drive over them, even slowly.
