Visited Canyon Vista Campground lately? We'd love to hear about your adventure. Did you find us useful? Did we forget something? Anything our community should know before heading out to Canyon Vista?






Hi! I’m from Brazil and in July me and 3 friends are going to USA. We are looking for a camping near Flagstaff/Williams for 14th July. I’d like to know the price to set up 2 tents for the 4 of us to stay the night in your camp. Thanks.
Hi Beatriz,
You’ll love the Flagstaff area – there is much to see and do. Canyon Vista Campground is first-come, first-serve. The campsites are $2o per night and can accommodate up to 8 people and one vehicle. A second vehicle will cost another $8 per night. All campsites can accommodate two tents.
Lakeview Campground is another option. It is about 3 miles from Canyon Vista Campground. It is also first-come, first-serve and has 30 campsites ($22 per night). Also, Pine Grove Campground is about 7 miles from Canyon Vista. Pine Grove has 46 reservable campsites.
This is a favorite spot of ours. Not far from Flagstaff, but far enough away to feel like you are deep in the woods. There is a popular climbing area nearby, and while we do not climb, we enjoy watching. The sites are all beautiful. There are still a few first come first served sites, but be advised as of ’25, most of the (few) sites can be reserved on recreation.gov. Sweet little campground.
