Homolovi State Park — Attraction in Four Corners States

We stayed one night at Homolovi while on a cross-country trip. When I made reservations online ahead of time I wasn’t sure if the park daily access fee was included in the camping fee but it was. In mid October the campground seemed pretty full so I’m glad we made reservations. The park is easy to access from the interstate. The roads in the campground are one way and the pull through camping sites have the water and electric located on the passenger side which makes hooking up a little inconvenient. Also the tree branches prevented you from getting very close to the hook ups. The views there are great and it was so peaceful that I wish I had planned to stay another day. The site had a fire ring and another fire ring/grill combo and a picnic table. We had 50-amp service and the pedestal was in good condition. Even though AT&T showed 3 bars I couldn’t place calls or access the Internet. We only got a few channels on antenna TV. I saw park rangers drive through the campground a couple of times which is always a good thing. If I were passing through this area again I wouldn’t hesitate to stay again at Homolovi. UPDATE We stayed again at Homolovi State Park Campground site 24 in a 36’ 5th wheel camper. It was just as pleasant as the first time. Getting there off the interstate is easy. When we went to the visitor center to check in they were closed. We already had reservations that we made online. We paid $30 a night plus a $5 reservation fee for a pull through site with water and 50 amps electric. The roads in the campground are asphalt and it’s easy to maneuver in the campground, even with a large camper. The site pad is asphalt too and had plenty of room. The camper connections are on the curb side for all the pull through sites. I had 3 bars of cell service with AT&T and my wife had 4 bars of Verizon. Homolavi is a nice peaceful place to stay whether for a single night on a trip or for several days. This was our second stay there and we would come back again. If you’re an Eagles fan or just like site seeing, check out the Standin’ On The Corner Park in nearby Winslow and take...

We stayed here for five nights during our vacation. While we prefer sites with more shade, we realize that in the desert that is hard to come by! We enjoyed this spot, the sites have a lot of room and we were close to the bathroom. This campground was quiet and a peaceful, relaxing place to be. It was sad that there was very little for our little one to do since there is no playground anywhere in the park. Also there are some plants that have tiny fibers that get embedded in your skin (it would have been nice to have a warning about that). These plants are right up against the campsite since there is no space between the pavement and the native plants. That made maneuvering around our site a little difficult at times. We really enjoyed the two hikes in the ruins. Homolovi I had really great information on the Hopi people. This was also a great place to stay so we could explore other Arizona attractions. We saw Meteor Crater, the Painted Desert, and the Petrified Forest. They are each about an hour away from the campground. This campsite is also close to Winslow, Arizona. If you are an Eagles fan it is a must see. The town has a corner set up as a tribute to "Take it Easy" with a mural and a couple gift shops. It's really sweet and reminiscent of days gone by. The one small issue we had with the campground (besides there being no playground) was that there are only two showers for the whole place. We never had to wait long for a shower, but I think that is more because we shower at odd times. Once you get in the shower, it was great! They were clean, roomy, and had great water pressure! We had friendly hosts that were very knowledgeable about the area. It was a great...

Overall, this is a really nice park, and we would stay at the campground/RV park again if passing through the area.

There are several hiking trails within the park, all of which are short (a mile or less) and easy. I did all of them. My personal favorite was the 1.1-mile loop combining three connected trails: winding between two prominent buttes (where there are some petroglyphs) and Dine Point (a lookout point on a hill with a bench).

RV park/campground: All of the sites (even the back-ins) are long and deep enough to accommodate large RVs. The spaces are wide with plenty of privacy between sites. There's a handful of non-electric sites on the outer loop at the top of the hill probably best suited to tents (or RVs with solar). None of the sites have sewer hookups, but there is a dump station at the entrance. Depending on the time of year, discretion is advised when taking your dog out for a potty break in the heat of the day - the roads and sites are asphalt, and the black sealant coating on them can get very hot in the afternoon.

This review would have been 5 stars if not for the public showers (or the lack thereof). When we stayed for 9 days, which included the Memorial Day weekend, there was only one usable shower for the entire campground of 53 sites (the other one was out of service for renovations). We used the public shower because our RV's greywater tank doesn't have enough capacity for a 9-day stay. At times, there was a line outside the shower door, even as late as 10 pm! We were not forewarned about this technicality when we made our reservations, nor did we see any mention of it on the website until about 2...
