Homolovi Ruins State Park

Not a good campground for tents. Tent pad is very small; we struggled to fit two very small pup tents on it. There is no shade at all. Campground is clean and showers are large. Very quiet.
Small state park with relatively interesting ruins. We can touch old ceramic and stone, but it would have been nice to have small plaques saying stuff like «this rock came from the Pacific Northwest»

Very peaceful place, and pretty in its own way. It’s very close to Winslow for goods and services you may need while camping. Also, there are a few things to see and do in Winslow, as well as nearby, some of them being: La Posada Hotel, Holbrook, Painted Desert and Petrified Forest National Park, etc. Drive up the road a way to see Little Painted Desert Park… Spectacular views.
Although you can make an argument that there isn’t much to the campground, we stayed for 3 days and it was really pleasant. Everything was clean and organized, no graffiti or trash like other campgrounds.
You sort of have to be into Native American ruins to appreciate the «attraction» here, which I am. I can, however, see how others might be bored, or expected something more elaborate. Nonetheless, it is what it is, and I found it to be very interesting.
Overall, this is a great home base for exploring the area.

Stayed here July 2014 en route from CA to points Midwest. Was a midweek stay and there were maybe only 6 or so other campers, so it was very peaceful. I love that there are NO GENERATORS allowed here. They do have elec. hookups so neighbor was running their a/​c, but it was pretty quiet. There is some noise from the Interstate and the trains but it is somewhat background, for me. I personally like the train sound.
The staff was friendly and helpful, bathrooms clean. I saw a sign that said something about showers but didn’t see any, although I wasn’t really looking. Had a chance to see a few of the ruins before hitting the road the next AM but would like to go back for more. Was able to take leased dog on hike at the ruins.

We stayed here in May 2014. This is the third time we have stayed here in our 42 foot RV. We feel there is plenty of room between spaces. We stayed in space 28. You can now reserve online for a $ 5 fee. We love the vistas here and as other have mentioned, the ruins are a great visit. The park is well maintained and restrooms clean. Always love staying here and have recommended it to several friends. Water and electric at sites, dump available. Road a bit rough but take it slow and you will be fine.

Such an interesting place! Love the pieces of pottery so i would have to ask everyone coming here: don’t take anything and leave it for us to enjoy! We will do the same and maybe one day our kids will do the same too!

I really don’t understand why the campground was not full on Labor Day weekend but I am REALLY glad it wasn’t! Unlike another reviewer, I thought there was plenty of space between campsites, especially since there were only 6 max sites occupied while we were there! It seemed a lot more spacious to me than the Meteor Crater Campground to the east which is also more expensive. The campground is far enough from I-​40 and the train tracks that the noise is not an issue. They have sites with hookups for water and electric and some are spacious enough for a large RV. There are showers and flush toilets that are kept very clean. The fee for camping was $ 25 a night and included access to the entire park as well as the ruins. Because the location is in the high plains, you can see for miles. Since it is monsoon season we watched many storms trek through the area that never even came close. What a show! Also, I found the sunset views amazing! There are enough things to check out in the area to fill a few days such as Meteor Crater, La Posada Hotel, Route 66, the Homolovi Ruins, Petrified Forest, Painted Desert, the Sunset Crater and of course «Standin on the Corner Park» in Winslow, Arizona. I found the ruins and the history of the Hopi people explained in the visitor center interesting. If you are planning on being in the area and camping, I would definitely check this place out.

The other day, I went to this state park and saw its Ancestral Pueblan ruins. I liked the ruins at the Homolovi Two site, because I saw where these people lived, stored their belongings, and prayed. I learned about the cotton that grew in this area and the legacy they past on to the 21^st century Hopis. The Homolovi One site was too incomplete. I liked its small museum with some Ancestral Pueblan ceramics I have been to more comprehensive Ancestral Pueblan ruins, but Homollovi was still worth a visit.

This was a beautiful place to camp for the night. Your out in the middle of no where which we found to be very peaceful. Got some great sunset pictures.
The Rv review said that road going in was awful but it really wasn’t that bad.

This park contains hiking trails, an RV campground, and ancient native ruins (predecessors to the Hopi if I remember correctly).
The ruins are small, but a very cool visit. The ground is littered with pottery bits and pieces for you to view BUT NOT TAKE!!! You can see the remains of ancient man’s housing/​ceremonial buildings.
The scenery is BEAUTIFUL, in a sparse, desert-​like way.
The map of the RV campground gives you the impression that each RV site is a little secluded nest where you might perhaps find some privacy. In reality each RV site is a wide spot in the road, and you pull your ass over next to the hookup. You can see everyone else camping in the site.
If you get a spot on one of the outer roads you get a nice desert view.
The ruins are cool. The RV park was just a place to sleep.
