Backpacking in the Petrified Forest National Wilderness Area is allowed with a free permit. Where can I camp? Petrified Forest does not have a campground and does not allow overnight parking. The only points to avoid are Pintado Point and Agate Bridge, due to a tight turn around if other vehicles are present. Our road and parking areas are suitable for larger RVs, even those with towed vehicles. Different species of flowers bloom at different times of the year. The best months, depending on precipitation over the winter and the moisture during monsoon season, are May, July, and August. What is the best time to view wildflowers? Wildflowers can bloom from March through October. You can visit the Public Use Statistics Office website for all park visitation statistics.

What is the annual visitation at Petrified Forest National Park? The park averages about 645,000 visitors each year.
