In a decommissioned ambulance. Went up the  well maintained road,past the burn area warning signs, open gates. Lots of full roadside camping. Then encountered cones across road near a great turnaround point. I think i was close to campground and summit. Stopped to consider my options.  Had great t mobile service, too low for scenery comment, wind was howling i mean howling and choking dust clouds.  I gave a 3 on account of my concerns over fire and dust, plus I didn't get up to campground.

We had the whole place to ourselves. I'm guessing most people don't want to backpack in the 3 miles to get to the campground. I thought maybe it was closed but the website says it's opened. It was beautiful!

Lockett Meadow in Flagstaff, Arizona, is a must-see destination for nature lovers and hikers. My family and I recently visited the meadow on a day trip and were completely blown away by the beauty and serenity of the area. The meadow is surrounded by towering Ponderosa Pine trees and offers a picturesque setting for hiking and exploring. The leaves were changing colors and provided a stunning backdrop for our hike. The trails are well-maintained and offer various options for all skill levels. We particularly enjoyed the Aspen Nature Loop, which provided breathtaking views of the meadow and the surrounding forest. In addition to the hiking, we also enjoyed the peacefulness and tranquility of the meadow. It was the perfect place to relax and take in the beauty of nature. The facilities at Lockett Meadow are also top-notch. The parking area is well-maintained, with restrooms and picnic tables available for visitors. We also appreciated the informational signs and maps provided at the trailhead, which made it easy to navigate the trails and learn more about the area. Overall, our experience at Lockett Meadow was nothing short of amazing. It is a must-see destination for anyone visiting Flagstaff. The meadow is a true natural gem and offers visitors the chance to experience the beauty and tranquility of the Arizona wilderness. We cannot wait to return for another visit in the future.

The first week of June 2022, a weekday, and we had the place practically to ourselves. No problem finding a campsite. We only stayed one night, but would love to spend a couple nights and really hike into the basin. For us low-landers living at 800ft, trying to march up to 9,000 ft+ was challenging! But the trail was lovely this time of year and temperature was ideal.

My first Google review EVER. This is a mountain meadow- a beautiful mountain meadow with views of snow capped mountains along with a the sounds of birds and the breeze. If that’s not your thing then look elsewhere.  Furthermore, Andy, the campground host is friendly, helpful and will go completely out of his way to make sure you have the best camping experience in the greater Flagstaff area. It’s a 3 mile ride up a somewhat rocky dirt road, but take it slow and you can lug a broken teardrop up and down it with no problem. Passenger cars passed me.

It is one of the best places to be In Arizona during the fall season. You get to see all yellow foliage of Aspen trees lined up here. This place is little remote, you need to take 89A north from Flagstaff and then after few miles from Flagstaff, you take left to find a dirt road leading to this campground. You need to find an open parking spot, they fill very quickly. Once that’s done you go on the hike for ~1.5-2miles until you reach the spread of Aspen trees. How amazing is the fact that it’s just one tree and each tree you see is exact clone of all the trees you see, they are all connected, erected through the same root system. Roots sprout and becomes a tree. Nature is so beautiful.  Best time to visit is probably between Oct 5 - Oct 15. Phoenix to Lockett Meadows takes about 2.30-3hours travel time by car approximately. No need to put on layers if traveling between the dates I mentioned. Get some water and some food. Even you do not pack you will survive. You will take ton of pictures here, that’s for sure. Truly amazing place.

This is by far my most favorite place to visit when I come to Flagstaff. The ride in is a little bumpy but is manageable if you just drive slow. When we arrived it was breathtakingly beautiful! We did make the mistake of driving further up the mountain past the meadow. We got about a mile in and had got stuck in the sand on the cliff. We were terrified. Luckily we were able to back out and drive out the way we came. I just wish there was a more detailed sign saying that the road was more for 4 wheeling and not just a normal car because you will get stuck up there. Probably our bad on going further but I thought there would have been more trees around the mountain. We did have a nice picnic and the area was clean with no trash. I can’t wait to visit again. I miss it already.

Be prepared to drive a narrow winding road, with a steep drop off the edge. It's incredibly beautiful and worth it. Summer is a great time to visit for cooler weather, and the aspens are incredible in the fall but it does get crowded then.

Closed 5/7/22 due to recent fire. Website says the open season is "Spring to October 11" and that "roads are closed during winter season".. Winter season is gone and Spring has been in effect. I will update my review to reflect the accuracy of the experience if we are able to ever visit again.

Lockett Meadow is very pretty. It is quite a bumpy, windy road to get there. Do not take a car, we had a 4 wheel drive truck so we were fine. We went on a Wednesday and there were many people hiking the trail. Not too many that it hampers your hike. I was told if you go on a weekend, it is over crowded.
