TL;DR: Northern Arizona, perfect for RV camping in spring, summer, and fall, boasts unique Harvest Hosts sites and iconic parks like the Grand Canyon and Petrified Forest. Explore diverse attractions, from historic trading posts to craft distilleries and wineries.
Arizona is an incredible US state, and many people enjoy visiting its regions at all times of the year. Because it is such a large state with so many camping opportunities, we've split the state of Arizona into multiple regions. Southern Arizona makes an excellent winter destination for RVers looking to escape the colder climates. Northern Arizona has cooler temperatures than the south, but that just means the ideal times to visit are in the spring, summer, and fall. Northern Arizona is ripe with boondocking opportunities within all of the national forests, and Harvest Hosts members gain additional access to even more RV camping locations with their membership. Buckle up, and join us as we explore some of the best Harvest Hosts locations and unique attractions for RV camping in Northern Arizona.
One of the most unique Harvest Hosts stops is located in the far northeastern corner of Arizona, less than fifteen minutes from Four Corners National Monument. At this old-fashioned trading post, visitors may even feel like they’ve stepped back in time. However, this post is much more than just a general store. It serves as a legitimate trading post where local Navajos can sell their unique artistic creations. This Harvest Hosts location has four reservable, pet-friendly spaces for RVs of any size. There is also potable water available.
