You have your choice of free camping with no hookups, or 30 amp electric for $10.00/night. Due to the high temps, we chose the site with electric so we could run the AC.

This is the only place in the area south of Petrified Park. It's quiet at night. Electric hookups only. Watch out for the ants! Don't walk around outside in pants that drag on the ground, or you might have a load of biting ants! We hope our unpleasant experience of a bite will help others be vigilant.

We noticed one fifth wheel had white powder all around his levelers.

We stayed in the pay campground on the west side, the free campground is on the east side.

We stayed in the pay campground on the west side, the free campground is on the east side. The only hookup you get is 30 amp electric (though we discovered after having to reset the breaker that it's actually rated for 20 amp service). Electric boxes are locked so you must arrive from 11am-6pm to get your site unlocked. We stayed a week to see the large supermoon since this area stays clear for night viewing - we never saw more than 1-3 other campers stay each night, so you don't have to worry about availability. There's no water or dump - the employees in the gift shops said their well water is awful and they wouldn't put it in their car or give to their dog. They only use it for sanitation purposes (restroom). You can buy bottled drinking water and beer (most plentiful item there) in the gift shop. There are 10 total electric sites. Sites 1-4 has a trench that will make backing a trailer into difficult without possibly scraping the back end on the ground. They're short as well so they're best suited for truck/van campers. Sites 5-10 are flat and better for longer rigs, and all sites are level. All sites are back-in but there's lots of room to maneuver making it easy. It's next to the highway but there is seldom any vehicle driving past, especially at night so it's peacefully quiet. You're right at the entrance to the national park at the end where the concentration of petrified wood sites are. There is a picnic shelter at the visitor's center where we found a water spigot and have been filling our 5-gal containers for free, vs driving 18 miles to Holbrook and paying the KOA campground $5 to refill the RV tank. We work online and must have good Verizon LTE signal wherever we camp - our Jetpack gets 50-60% signal strength without even turning on the WE boost. We really enjoyed our week-long stay and would choose to stay here if passing through again.

Crystal Forest Gift Shop is actually two stores and two campgrounds (one owner for both). Driving towards Petrified Forest, the campground the left side has 30 amp electric sites for around $10 a night and the one on the right is free. Both campgrounds have fairly level gravel spots, but be prepared for mud on a rainy day. Neither has a dump station or water. Even though the campsites are situated next to the main road (Hwy 180), this out of the way location offers very little traffic and road noise (at least during the off season). This is good place to camp if visiting the southern part of Petrified Forest National Park (where the trees are!). It is convenient located 1/2 mile from the southern park entrance.
