Crystal Forest Campground

On the east side of the highway heading into the petrified Forest is the free side first come first serve, and it is a pretty good place to stay. We stayed there the first night we was here before we went into the petrified Forest, which is pretty cool. It was pretty hot so the second night we was here we moved over to the paid place. It cost $25 a night for 30 amp hookup $35 a night for 50 amp hookup. The staff is very friendly they have a gift store on both sides of the highway selling mostly rocks and and souvenirs.

This is a great place and very friendly. Especially if you want to tour the national park. They let you stay for free if you don’t need power. Power is available. And there’s another similar camping spot across the street. It’s right at the entrance of the national park

There was no power,they were locked.. but a very quiet place. They have tables and it is clean!

Staff was helpful and friendly. Easy back in spots large parking turn around area .Electric only for a 25$ fee beautiful sunset. Office is a gift shop and a Museum is across the street which is the entrance to the Petrified National Park. Campground is ringed with petrified sections of ancient trees.

We camped on the north side of the road. I believe there are four campsites that are pull through and maybe five or six campsites back in . $25 per night for electric. Only 30 amp. Sites were nice & level. Mary, the lady who runs the place, was very nice and accommodating. Only about 2 miles from the entrance to the national park.

Wonderful option for people like us who got tired much earlier than expected and wanted to deviate from our original plan. Unbelievably gorgeous view of the sunrise, perfect pit stop on a longer journey

Nice place has electric available. Not sure of amperage we did not need it. Picnic table level gravel parking

Quiet at night, electric only for $25 a night

Neat gift shop with very nice (and knowledgeable) employees. There are a few pull through and a few back in spots - maybe 5 of each.

Great overnight stop after a visit through The Petrified Forest. Location awesome. We went to the area through the gate past the sheltered electric camp spots. There were cement pads as well in the fenced area. We positioned our trailer to block the light from the Crystal shop so we could photograph the milky way. Felt very safe.

The Crystal shop opens at 8am. Bought a few affordable crystals, friendly and knowledgable staff. A few photo opps with old cars weighed down with petrified rocks.

Not much to it, just some picnic tables on slabs next to parking spots. But if u plan to go into the park in the morning it makes sense.

This is a unique experience. The campsites are outlined in petrified wood and the gift shops have fascinating pieces. We had a site with electricity, $27 a night but you can boondock for free; no amenities. It is just outside the south entrance to Petrified Forest National Park.

The gift shop is closed. Boondocking is free. No Electric, water or toilets. There are a handful of sites that have a covered picnic table. My stay was quiet. No complaints

The app says there is tent camping at this site. This is not allowed per the sign on the fence

This is a small campground next to a gift shop. 10 sites, all with 30amp electric and a picnic table. Nothing special, but it is next to the Petrified Forest National Park. The owner just bought the Crystal Forest Museum across the street. Free camping there with a picnic table and nothing else. No fires are allowed in either campground.
