Woody Mountain Campground, Flagstaff

We stopped at Woody Mountain Campground for a quick overnight in April. I called ahead to make a reservation and the phone service was excellent-- which is probably why we were willing to take the $48/night rate for such a quick overnight.

We arrived at dusk, grabbed our map and reservation info which was taped to the then-closed office window, and started hunting for our pull through site. It wasn't easy, as the signage was small, the sun was very low, and the trees cast shadow on whatever light was left.

We could easily see, however, that the sites and lanes were narrow and the campground was fairly crowded. We eventually found our our site on the end of a row, were able to set up quickly and get to bed. The site wasn't perfectly level but it was good enough. A bigger issue was that the waste hole was uphill, so we weren't able to dump sewage during our stay. Something else to consider is that by morning the top of our Airstream as covered in pine sap. No bueno.

​The campground was quiet and we slept like rocks.

The next morning we visited both the bathrooms and the store. The bathrooms are older, concrete block buildings but are nicely maintained and serviceable. At the store, staff offered complimentary muffins, coffee and hot chocolate, which made my son's day. We got to spend some time with the kind and energetic new owner as well as the caretaker, who has been there for decades. The owner shared his plans for improvement and expansion. Should be very nice when complete and would make the $50/night seem more reasonable.
