We've stayed at J&H several times and never had any problems. I think it's the nicest place there. The KOA is really cramped. We've also stayed at Kit Carson but about all it has going for it is the location, it's just short of being a real dump. However, some friends of ours stayed at Woody Mountain last summer for a while but moved to Kit Carson after a week or so. I don't think there are any really nice parks in the Flagstaff area. There's lots of demand from folks in Phoenix trying to escape the summer heat so they can fill up just about any park...doesn't have to be very nice. There's a nice national forest campground north of town at Sunset Crater but no hookups and only a few spots for an RV. A really nice RV park there might be a good business opportunity for someone...

If it's not the tree-huggers, it's the Indians, which is why almost nothing can get done in Flag. Look at the issues they had just to get the forests thinned to reduce the fire danger. It took a very real scare of the town burning for something to get done and the first close-in fire proved the need of it. A new commercial RV park "in the trees"? Never happen close to town. Maybe the Bellemont area, west of town, where the Camping World is, but that's the start of the "scrub" country.

I have a friend that is a ranger in Coconino & he said it takes 5 yrs to get a controlled burn permit. Tree huggers file suit every time they apply for one. If you are staying for some time 42 miles southeast is the Happy Jack lodge. Hookup sites are tight but will take a big rig. No shade. They also have dry sites in the pines back behind the main park. I stayed there last summer in a dry site. All pull throughs. My site was 170' long trailers are about 30' apart in tall pines. No gen or outside lights from 10pm to 7am.
