Pine Grove Campground — Hotel in Flagstaff

We love this place! We've been in coming here at least twice a year for probably 10 years. It's grown with us, from before we had kids and we slept in a leaky tent, to now on our second trailer and a full family. The camp hosts are always so great, hospitable. They even helped us back in our trailer on our first ever trailer camping trip. We always feel at home here.

Unfortunately, just today we experienced the worst homophobia from a camp host ever. Honestly, I'm devastated with the conversation I just had to have with my two kids about why the camp host was so blatantly rude to us.

We pull up to fill with water, as normal, and the camp host comes out to collect the $5. No big deal. Chatting with my wife. All's well.

When I come out of the truck the camp host visibly changes. Our fee, not even joking, jumped from $5 to $10 in an instant. When I respectfully and light-heartedly ask why, saying we come here every year, she said, "That's how we do things now." Honestly, she might as well have said that was the LGBTQ fee or something.

She repeatedly apologized to the family in line behind us, as if we were taking our time purposefully. My youngest son asked if we were staying at that campsite and I told him, "I don't think we're wanted here."

She nodded. So, we left. I'm so disappointed...so saddened...so angry. This was our place. For ten years this has...

I wish I could give different star ratings for different aspects. 1. Cleanliness: 5 STARS!! Very well maintained. Bathrooms and showers are very clean, camp spots are raked each time someone leaves. 2. Staff, 5 STARS...very friendly and helpful. Don’t know why they need four hosts, but there maybe a legit reason...I didn’t ask. 3. Spots: 2 STARS. We reserved spot 24 for our 39’ fifth wheel. The low hanging branches and the unmovable cement picnic table at the back of the spot wouldn’t accommodate us although the website said 42’ was max size for that spot. Many of the spots appear to be perfect if you are tent, car, or small unit camping. Spot 30 will hold a big rig as will 41 (non-reservable). The campsites are closer together than what we like. In fact, when they squeezed us in spot 1, we were literally 10’ away from the host site front door...way too close....they could sit on their patio and watch everything in our trailer. Overall: 3.5 STARS. Nice place to go if you need one night, or are local going out for the weekend. If you are a tent camper and like having clean showers to use, this is...

We were evacuated from a nearby campground to the Pine Grove Campground. Our stay at the Pine Grove Campground was amazing. Dennis does a fantastic job with maintaining a clean and functional shower facility, while Abby does a great job keeping an eye on him. The showers were clean hot and available during our stay.

The camp hosts (Chris & Cathy, Tim & Becky) were warm and welcoming. We couldn't ask for better hosts. This was one of the most tranquil campgrounds and we felt safe during our stay. The hosts consistently monitored the campground to ensure guests were accommodated. The campground was pleasantly quiet (with an occational buzzing sound of generators from time to time). We enjoyed the tall trees and beautiful landscape. This was the perfect environment to train our search and rescue doberman puppy.

Many thanks to the Pine Grove Camp hosts and staff for making our trip memorable, peaceful and...
