About: O’Leary Group Campground is named after O’Leary Peak and was constructed in 2001. This group campground offers large groups the opportunity to camp and explore the nearby national monuments.
This area of volcanic activity is so unique that much of it has been set aside as the Sunset Crater National Monument. Wupatki National Monument is nearby and is a four-story masterpiece of Native American stone masonry. Construction of that stone-age condominium began around A.D. 1120. At one time it contained as many as 100 rooms and housed as many as 125 people. Both Sunset Crater and Wupatki National Monuments have visitor centers and feature self-guided and interpreter guided tours.
