O'Leary Group Campground is a Forest Service site in the Flagstaff Ranger District of Coconino National Forest in Arizona. It was built in 2001 and named for O'Leary Peak, which overlooks the camp. The site is set up for large groups, with picnic shelters, tables and grills, and its level ground covered in native volcanic cinders makes it an easy spot to set up tents. Vault toilets are the onsite restroom facility, and a fee is charged to stay here. For the most comfortable weather, aim for late spring or early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Sunset Crater run about 70°F in May and 75°F in September, while July and August bring the most wet days. Other places to stay are close by: Bonito is 0.3 miles away and Oleary Group Site is 0.9 miles away. Hikers can head to Lava's Edge Trail, about 1.2 miles off, or Lenox Crater Trail, about 1.5 miles away.
