Little America Flagstaff | Informal Campsite

Stayed here in my van the other night. Initially drove through the semi area thinking of parking there, but didn't see any other vans or small vehicles, so I found a spot in the back of the hotel lot. There were plenty of open spots. The spot was pretty dark and mostly quiet (despite what others have said, I didn't think the highway noise was too bad). I slept pretty peacefully from about midnight to 7:30am. The truck stop restroom was nice. It was busy but clean and had four toilets in what are basically private rooms with walls a doors that go from floor to ceiling. I'd definitely stop here again.

Great place for an overnight. I called ahead of time and got a hold of the cashier in the Sinclair. He directed me to a spot to park overnight. It's past all the gas pumps and the semis, along the edge of the parking lot. There's a sign that says unauthorized Vehicles will be towed. I went inside and checked in again, and he said for an overnight it's fine. If the hotel sees RV's there for longer, they will call it in. I'm parked right along a wooded area that I was able to take my dog for a long walk in. I even unhooked my car and explored Flagstaff for the afternoon/evening, no problems.

Great place for the night. As others described. Clean bathroom. Right off interstate.

It confirms previous comments. Stayed 1 night along with 5 other Class B, was quiet and felt safe. Used washrooms and spent $ there.

I arrived Oct 3 and left Oct 5. I parked at the back of the lot away from the bulk of the trucks. There are 2 dumpsters and some kind of storage container. Today I am leaving although I would like to stay. Nobody has said anything but I do not want to outstay my welcome. I may return as I wish to stay in the Flagstaff area for Oct. Q and Yuma are still too hot until Nov.
I splurged on a shower and it was worth it. $15 but huge and with a bathtub too. As an ex trucker I can tell you that Little America both here and in Wyoming are not cheap. Both gas and food are at a premium here. However the one bargain is the soft serve ice cream. Cheap and a huge amount for $2.
The place is generally very clean, for a truckstop, and the T-Mobile signal is ok although it does kick in and out.

Amazing truck stop!! I took a shower in the private bathroom for $15 and did my laundry for $5 - washer is $3 and dryer is $2.50
Slept great in the parking lot, it was nice and quiet, I felt very safe!

Amazing! Felt safe, not noisy at all. 24hrs bathroom. Stayed overnight with our pups. There’s a pet area by the Dino. Used the shower for 15$, it was super nice. Recommend

Worst freeway noise you can image
If you don’t want to sleep stay here.

Report Check-In

Stayed here for 1 night. The car park is very large and easy to find a space, very quiet despite being so close to the freeway and felt safe. There are facilities within the hotel however we did not use them.

Report Check-In

Stayed here last night. No issues, except the sprinklers came on at midnight. Do not park by the Dino.

One of the best travel centers I’ve been to. Clean and nice, with good facilities, including a little restaurant and dining area. The women’s bathroom has a lounge, and each “stall” is fully enclosed like a tiny room for maximum privacy. Had a shower for $15, which was nice, and included a giant bathtub that I was bummed I didn’t have time to use.

I asked at the counter and they allow overnight parking for one night. I stayed for two in my small car and nobody noticed. Felt safe. Would stay again!

Report Check-In

As described.........we stayed 1 night w\o any problems. Going to stay another night as a few of our family members are experiencing altitude sickness but we we're asked to leave as it's for commercial truckers only, is what he told us.

Tried the Little America parking lot and left. Way too loud, you're 50m from I-40 with truck traffic all night.

Report Check-In

Truck lot was PACKED so much I could t even get to the back area. Considered back of hotel parking lot but my knock vibes were tingling. Moved on to Twin arrows 30 mins East & so glad I did, had a wonderful stay

Report Check-In

Great spot to spend the night. They recommended I park in the lot behind the travel center or the hotel lot rather than the truck area because it was icy and they have apparently had incidents with vans getting hit because trucks can't see them. I felt very safe as a solo woman.

The travel center is part of the Sinclair, not where it shows up on Google maps (at the back of the hotel). The back doors close overnight but you can go around to the front doors for the bathrooms. Plus, it was $1 to fill up my coffee thermos in the morning. Overall a great stay!

class B van stayed 1 night just fine, no problems. Parked all the way in the back left corner with 2 other vehicles. Have to drive by all the truckers to get there. The services building was awesome. TV rooms, food, and awesome hot showers for $15. Did laundry too.

Report Check-In

i tried to camp at the snow bowl sites but they were covered in a few feet of snow.. this is one of the only free camp spots in town in the winter.

i called beforehand to make sure i could stay the night and he said yes, for one night. i told him i had a 22ft motorhome and he told me to park with the semis in the back. the lot is huge and the trucks are loud but i couldn’t hear anything with earplugs! freezing up there rn..

Report Check-In

The manager was incredibly nice and showed us to park in his normal lot (not the hotel and not by the semis). Especially nice given that Cracker Barrel told me they were no longer letting people stay. It was quiet all night although very cold as our Espar wasn’t working in the high altitude of Flagstaff.

Report Check-In

Slept here one night. It is safe but super noisy because of the traffic! Don’t recommend if it is not your only option.

Report Check-In

This place is really nice. There are two lots full of semis, and there wasn't really room for our small teardrop trailer. A manager came out shortly after we parked near the semis and recommended we park near the hotel (also ran by Little America). So we had to walk a little ways to get to the main building but no big deal. Took a nice shower and did some laundry here. Lots of food options, including a grill and nice seating during the daytime.

Report Check-In

did not stay here. if you are a semi this is the place to be. drove thru the parking area and I did not get a warm and fuzzy feeling for any place for my van.

Report Check-In

no longer offering RV parking as of 12/17/21

Heads up if visiting around Christmas time - the hotel does a "North Pole Experience" that is VERY popular. Seems to go on until 9, but just be aware it's a busy lot until then

Report Check-In

Nice spot! It’s like a hotel/truck stop/travel Center with bathrooms, showers, wifi, and at Christmas time now has a whole Christmas light show with trees decorated outside. Good find

Police officer knocked on my door the moment I parked (after spending $60 on gas) and said the owners of the establishment wanted everyone out of the parking lot.

Report Check-In

Slept like a baby in between two semis. Couldn't find any open WiFi network, but had solid data service. Nice place to sleep and not be bothered by anyone. Quiet at night except for some idling trucks, which was fine because it was like white noise.

Report Check-In

Busy during the day with visitors and truckers coming and going but once the sun goes down it is quiet. Great spot for the night!

Report Check-In

Best spot is in the back. There is grass and a trail for the doggie and a bench. Stayed here two nights.

Report Check-In

Sadly it was packed with semi trucks when I got there on a Saturday night and seemed to be no room left. I went in and asked if there was RV parking they said there wasn't and pointed me to a place up the street a couple blocks. So I would recommend going early and not on a weekend. Sad I wasn't able to stay after reading all the good reviews.

Report Check-In

great great spot! seriously, pass on parking at cracker barrel and come down to this little gem.

first of all they have showers! and a full private room with a tub, shower and toilet.
$12 for a 1 hour, my partner and I shared and had plenty of time to shower and relax!

the best shower I've honestly ever had! the pressure of the shower was like bathing under a warm waterfall in Hawaii! lol

All workers are wonderful and super kind.

its a huge trucker convenience store; they even have a little restaurant inside.

we parked our 24 ft rv on the side next to the green dinosaur next to a few other vans and rvs and had a great night sleep.

you can also park where the truckers park but that lot can get loud and crowded!

cons: none! great spot. will stop by again!

great, safe, place to spend the night. came south from Page, 1st truck stop was on 89, Conoco - little more than a big gas station. drive the extra 5 miles to Little America.

Ok place to park for the night at the Sinclair travel center. Somewhat noisy next to the truck, but they have full private bathrooms you can rent for $12 with a shower and a big bathtub, which is very nice.

Report Check-In

Great little stop! Free WiFi. Was able to park in the car parking area a few separate nights with no problem. Great shower, I didn’t know that much water pressure existed. Private bathrooms are $12 for up to 2 people for 1.5 hours.

Report Check-In

Travel Center with Gas, Convient Store, Bathrooms, and Pay Showers. Open 24 hours. I stayed in the parking lot for 2 nights. Very quiet, but was during the week and cold, so not many people around. I would assume it will be busier and louder place during the summer. WiFi from the building reaches the parking lot fine, and I was streaming YouTube videos on my tablet most of the night.

This is a perfect spot for a parking lot! Obviously there is road noise and lights but it’s big and easy to find a private place to park. Lots of other trucks and vans here. Paid $12 at the travel center and took the most amazing bubble bath. They give you towels and bath products and each private bathroom area has a giant tub and a shower with really great water pressure. Little store also sells food, beer and wine, car stuff, etc.

Me: Can I use a shower please?
Attendant: Twelve Dollars!

To be fair, they are spotless and big with walk in shower and a bath. ID required to secure the key.
Laundry is $2.50 wash, $2.50 dry

It’s not clear whether staying in the car park here is allowed or not, but we did it for free regardless - no problems. They have an excellent service station with showers, a bath tub and all manner of on the road goodies.

Ample parking. Since spots darker than others. Showers are $10 and the have bath tubs.
