Wupatki National Monument was established as a National Monument in 1924 due to its archeological sites, which are among the oldest in the country. Experts estimate that the crumbling pueblo dwellings, at one point, consisted of between 80 and 100 rooms and were multi-storied. Discoveries of artifacts indicate that the dwellings were inhabited by Ancient Pueblo People for as far back as 500AD, and later abandoned in 1225AD, likely due to a volcanic eruption nearby. More recently, Hopi Native Americans lived and hunted in the area and gave the abandoned settlement its name: Wupatki, which means “tall house.” Indeed, these structures were once the tallest man-made structures for 50 miles around.

Getting Outdoors
Wupatki National Monument is unique in that, although it’s a large park, visitors are limited to a few short trails or embarking on longer hikes escorted by a park ranger. These restrictions are in place to protect the cultural site, which is exceedingly fragile and susceptible to graffiti and other damage. That doesn’t mean, however, that the park can’t be enjoyed. The trails, though short, are rewarding. Along the way, adventurers can enjoy sweeping views of the desert grasslands, rugged mesas and buttes that rise from the desert-like towers, and volcanic hills. To the west, the San Francisco Peaks loom.
Camping at Wupatki National Monument
Because protecting these cultural remnants of a long-gone civilization is a priority, there is no RV camping at Wupatki National Monument. However, there are several options nearby.
Exploring the Area
Under the blazing blue sky and scorched red earth that stretches for endless miles in all directions, it can be easy to think that there isn’t much to see in Arizona. In fact, with a little patience and the help of a rental motorhome, there are several sights and attractions to explore. In between Wupatki National Monument and Flagstaff is a roadside attraction: the spirit totem. A trio of wooden stumps rise from the desert plains; its surface painted to resemble ashen faces. Their origins and history are unknown. Travelers often leave coins and turquoise stones as offerings.

Jeremy has been nothing but a pleasure from the very beginning. Clear communication, quick to respond, and he was very accomodating. He has made this video to let people know how to use the RV, it was very thorough and helpful especially for an RV first-timer like us. He walked us through on important car features? on the day we started our trip as well, and I could tell he knows his stuffs and does take care of the RV. Miss Majestic was very cozy and she strong! We had only so much time but were being greedy with the trip plan, we drove quite a bit (almost 800+ miles over) yet we never had any actual issue with the RV. It has everything (and more) that you would need for the trip. Shower water gets HOT, TV works great, bed is comfy, stove works great and all. I am so glad that I rented from Jeremy. Thanks to him and Miss Majestic, we made unforgettable memories!!

We had a great time, and Jose was great with communication. He even made sure to leave us with extra fuel for the generator and propane so we didn’t run out during the trip. Fantastic rental experience!
