I would give this park a 10! Its far better than the fancy stuck-up $800 a month RV parks we were at. The view was so beautifu. Great seeing the Prairie Dogs running in the distance. The Park manager was very nice, good people. Super nice clean bathrooms with showers and laundry area. The site was Red gravel and no problem leveling our 5th wheel. Easy access to everywhere. Grand Canyon, Flagstaff, and Williams was a great little town also. I highly recommend this RV to anyone. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park is easily accessible from I-40. Driveway in was short but large ruts. The staff was friendly and informative about the area. The laundry room was adequate except that the two times we used it we found the campground staff was using the facilities as well. The campground is a little run down-we were told if we wanted cable to hook up to the site behind us. We were also told the Wi-Fi was not working that well - we didn't need it so didn't even try. Our main concern was the grounds-there was no good area to walk the dog - the red clay and stones were terrible and we all had to clean off our feet every time we went out because of the goat head stickers. We will not return to this campground. The rate reflects Passport America discount. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Easy 1mile walk to town, if desired. The Campground is run by men, so more "business-like" than friendly, but would stay here again. LP gas 1 mi way with .20 cent discount. Also, .20 cent discount at adjoining Chevron makes it cheapest in Williams, which still is NOT cheap. If coming from the east, top off in Flagstaff--.50 cheaper per gal. Can handle largest rigs imaginable. The easy access to I40 nice. If using PA discount, the fees must be paid in cash only! There were clean restrooms and showers, although 1/2 the lighting was flickering. There was no soap in the sink dispensers for our visit. The rate reflects weekly stay with discounts. 'Net down for 5 days was real bummer, although they had DSL line available in laundry room. It was fixed on our last day. It can handle largest rigs imaginable. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Park is an open, red clay field with hook-ups. Cable TV was snowy. Other utilities worked well. A few trashed trailers on site. OK for short stay. Only thing in Williams is the Grand Canyon Railway: which is overpriced, but OK if you prefer not to drive to the Grand Canyon. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Good access for a big rig, long space. Cable TV was a very few channels and snow on some. Lava rock road is dusty and large size nuggets sometimes hard to walk on and our dogs hated it. They now have sore feet. Management very friendly and helpful. Good access to Grand Canyon, less than an hour drive in our car. Close to the train station where trains go daily to the canyon. Good spot for a quick visit to Grand Canyon. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very friendly check in. Site is covered with volcanic rock which is odd to walk in. Didn't track in, so it was okay. Restrooms and showers are ceramic tiles and very clean. Laundry room has new clean units. Our cable TV worked well, but apparently gophers had been chewing their lines. The Wi-Fi did not work, and I didn't get a lot of response when I mentioned it. For the PA price, it was a nice, safe campground. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park is ok but certainly nothing special. The driveway into the park is rutted and very, very bumpy. The check in process was fine. After hooking up, we tried the cable and it was not working. We checked with the owner (?) and he said, "Yah, some work and some don't." That was the end of that discussion. No concern. The volcanic rock they use is not comfortable to walk on nor sit your chairs on. The full-timers who live here do not have the neatest sites in the world. We would not stay here again. If you just want a night's stay to sleep, it is probably satisfactory. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Rate reflects PA plus tax. Easy access off I-40 & all pull through sites. Some sites have trees but not hard to pull in without unhooking. No real amenities here but definitely good for a stop over. The crushed red volcanic rock could be an issue if it rains but we had no problems. Would stay here again if in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Camped here overnight in route to Grand Canyon. Very friendly staff. Easy access to Williams and the freeway. Full hookups available. You can hear freeway and train noise, but not as bad as other RV parks located closer to Williams. Would stay here again if traveling through Arizona in the future. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We enjoyed staying here with full hookups. ($21 per night is Passport America rate including tax.) Even though they request 48-hr. notice, we were still able to get the PA rate for 3 nights, but didn't realize that we would need to pay cash. Entire campground is crushed volcanic rock with a few trees that provide minimal shade. Campground is clean. Some road noise because it's close to I-40 and an occasional faint train whistle. It was easy to get into our site. This was a great stopover in order to take the Grand Canyon Railway as a day trip. We had a great time on the train--well worth it! The nearby town of Williams is on historic Route 66 and offers lots of fun, good places to eat--some with a little nostalgia. Staged Old West gunfights when we were here in the summer. There is a Safeway grocery store in town, too. For the price, this was a great park for us. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This RV park is located right off the highway which is convenient. After that, forget it. Although Wi-Fi is offered, it never worked. The staff said we'd have to bring the computer to the office. There were derelict RV's parked all over the campground and it looked run down. There is nothing but lava rock to drive or walk on and nothing what-so-ever to do here. The City of Williams is a fun place to visit, but we'd rather pay more to stay at a nice place than ever come back to Canyon Gateway RV park again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed here July 5 and June 21. The park is easily accessible and very organized. We were told on our first visit that we needed to call 2 days in advance to use Passport America, he gave us the discount. We called the next time. There was a thunderstorm that night and despite the gravel sites and roads it was not a problem leaving. We camped here in a Motorhome.

For short stays this park is OK. Staff is friendly, hookups are good, spots are spacious, good location easy in easy out. Double sites worked well for us , we had 2 trailers with plenty of room. I would agree with other posters that the surface is a little rough on the feet, wear good shoes and it’s fine. This park has the potential of being a great park with a little work and clean up. Would stay here again for a short stay. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Wi-Fi was good at my site. Park was clean, but I agree that the entry road needs to be fixed. Go slow and the rest of the roads fine. Hookups are good, but double sites are weird. Very windy, but not the park's fault. I am Passport America, and the manager treated me great. Any other complaints are probably not because of PA. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The rate was for Passport members. We had very limited reception for cable TV nor the internet. When we complained, the manager did not seem to care. He did re-boot the Wi-Fi system and it worked for a while. However our TV reception never did work. I got the impression that had we paid full price (and not the Passport rate), things might have been different. We promptly moved the next morning. Would not return here.

Good for an overnight stay. The entry road is horrible and you have to crawl over it; the park roads are only slightly better. The site layout is different. They are extremely long, but could be used as two separate sites, one unit behind the other. The sites are gravel and fairly level. We would stay there again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed here in a 45' RV. This was an overnight stop. We called ahead, asked what the rate was for the number of people in our RV. The gentleman that we spoke with on the phone told us 34, don't worry about the extra children. When we arrived, the man at the desk informed us that the price went up twelve dollars. He was not polite, and not helpful. IMHO, I would rather stay at an RV park that isn't as nice, but has helpful staff. I do not care for a place that will not honor their word. Otherwise, be careful of the trees that mark each site. It was tight. Everything is dirt/mud, depending on when you arrive. We camped here in a Motorhome.

All the previous reviews were accurate as to the conditions of this campground. Our site was close to level and the hookups were convenient to our utility bay. If they were busy and doubled up on the sites, there could be some hookup problems. We paid the Passport America rate, cash only and no checks, and it's good for up to 4 days. If you don't have PA, there are other, nicer, campgrounds in the area, but for a short visit, we would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Overall this was a nice park. The road coming in was very rough and the cable didn't work but, the restrooms and showers were very clean and warm.

The above rate is Passport -- this is an expensive area and all the campgrounds are pricey. (Note that for the Passport rate it is cash only, no checks or credit cards.) At the full price this campground would be a huge disappointment. It's very basic, with a lot of permanent residents (who have lots of clutter around their units), lots of traffic noise and, as mentioned before, the annoying red lava rock. The "90' pull through sites" are actually double sites and, although there were none where they actually put two rigs into a site while we were there, I expect during the summer when they are busy it's a matter of routine. We were led to our site and when I expressed concern about whether our power cord would reach the pedestal, our guide rather rudely said "I'll put you where it works for ME". We had to park our truck in front and on two occasions had to move it to let rigs get out -- the outside roadways are a bit narrow. The positives are that the power and water pressure were fine, the laundry is large and, when we were there, worked fine, and the location is easy on and off from the interstate. But the potholes at the entrance are really a problem and the lava rock on the interior roads is rough -- no problem with the low speed limit! We might come back here again because the other parks are more expensive and closer to the railway line, which is even noisier, but we might just try to find another town to stay in. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Very easy access to/fro freeway. Sites are basic but hookups worked (including the basic cable). We had very usable Wi-Fi (I'm doing the review right now through their Wi-Fi), but I'm at the closest site to the office. Check-in was quick. Bathrooms were quite clean and serviceable. I didn't have any problems with the lava rock ground as I wear footwear. In fact, I'm happy with this flooring especially now when it's so wet during a thunderstorm. There were however some run down RVs in this campground. They appear to be there for storage. If you are looking for a no frills full hookup site, you might want to consider this. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice long sites, could be shared if crowded, but we had a 90' site our entire stay. Wi-Fi worked and iffy cable, with only 8 channels on a good day. Would have given a much higher rating if it weren't for the horrible entrance to the park - large potholes and ruts. Mentioned to the office staff and was told it was a problem with the city, not them!!!! The sites are gravel and took some work to level the coach, but is indeed level. Very friendly and helpful office staff and lead everyone to their sites and available for information about the local area. Would recommend to others and would definitely stay here again if in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I agree with the other posts, especially about the lava rock. The bathrooms weren't as clean as they should be and the laundry had a defective washing machine which was not labeled as such and created a problem for my wife. The Wi-Fi worked at my site but not at others. Forget the minor cable TV service. Many people had no service but we were able to get 1 digital channel (NBC). This park is nice for a visit to the Grand Canyon but not a destination. There was a lot of highway noise. Power was very low and thankfully we didn't need to use the A/C. We would not stay here again, moving down the road to complete our stay after we do the train ride to the Canyon. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

A good enough campground for a short stay. Wi-Fi and cable TV does not work except in the office. Not told this until after payment. Payment is cash only with no receipt. Bet this man has lots of un reported monies. Our price reflects PPA supposedly, which is like most PPA campgrounds now. It's never 1/2 price after the add ons. Had nice view and large sites. Doubt if I would stay again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

As stated by previous reviewers, this park is basically all lava rock which is not good for people or dogs. Must wear shoes, rocks are about 2" diameter to smaller crushed rock on roadways. Staff was OK, and they were a little put out that we used a credit card, they wanted cash only. The park is about what would be expected for a desert park, and the sites were more than adequate for big rigs. The park dog wanders and just plops it anywhere he wants. So much for pick up after your dog! The major drawback was that the cable TV worked somewhat during the day, and at night the whole thing went fuzzy and impossible to see the picture. Not a good week here since the new shows were coming on and the wife could not even see a picture. The town of Williams is really interesting and there are some good places to see and also good food and fun. Would probably stay here again, if it was a shorter time, and the cable TV worked right. The rate was for Good Sam. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is the weekly rate. Close to I-40; an hour from the Grand Canyon. Office personnel were very friendly. We had some visitors for two nights and they did not charge us extra. Sites are all pull-thru. It appears that they used to be back-to-back sites, as there are two site numbers, electric, etc at each site. Now the negative for us. Sites are wide open; no wind protection (there's lots of wind here year-round). Sites are lava-type rock, not gravel and one cannot go out without shoes - flip-flops don't cut it. Most sites do not have a table; we were one of the lucky ones. However, we were next to a permanent RV resident, whose dog used our tires for his duty. More policing by the management is needed to avoid this. We probably would only stay here again as an overnight stop. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

I made a reservation at this park because of its name and our desire to see the Grand Canyon. Although an hour away from the Grand Canyon, the park is in a great location. Williams, AZ, is a nice little town on historic Route 66. There are many shops, restaurants, and a nightly gunfight in town. The scenery surrounding the campground is also very nice - pine-tree-covered hills. The staff is VERY friendly. If you need to use them, the showers/bathrooms are very nicely kept. We stayed there with a family of 8. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

As with most Passport America Campgrounds you get what you pay for. This is a decent park for a few days while you see the sights. Oddly laid out sites that are fairly level with crushed lava rock. Very rough entrance road and narrow entrance to park. Bathrooms and showers clean and modern with plenty of hot water and pressure. Wi-Fi works good although we used our Verizon card which had a strong and fast connection. Only negative are the few trashy RV's scattered through out the park. I would group them together on one end. In particular try to avoid being parked on either side of site 12 or anywhere in about 21 through 33. Cable TV is not worth the bother of even trying to make it work. Satellite access is easy on the other hand. Will try some of the other parks in the area next time but would stay here again if necessary. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We had planned on a 4 night stay, but were delayed by bad weather. The cg staff recommended we wait a day because of local heavy snow. Thank you!! We used Passport America, plan to pay in cash, but you are told that upfront when making the reservation. Our site was long and level, with good location of hookups. Our cable TV connection was useless, but plenty of open sky so our sat dish worked perfectly. We did not use the showers/bath, so can't comment on them. We also did not use the Wi-Fi, our Verizon air card had a strong signal. We did use the fuel discount coupon for the station at the campground entrance. We used the campground as a home base to tour the Grand Canyon and Sedona. We would use this campground again, basic with a reasonable rate. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here to explore the area, and the price reflects Passport America charge. This park is OK with level, pull through sites and full hookups, free WiFi though the cable TV did not work. They are convenient to I-40 though you can not hear the traffic. This is not a resort (no pool, hot tub or rec hall). The ground is very rough with volcanic rock, very difficult to walk. Williams is at 7,000 feet and it can be quite cold through the night in April. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stopped in Williams on our way to an RV Rally, to check out the RV parks, to see if we wanted to stay here for a month this summer. We stayed here because it is a Passport park and the rate reflects that including tax. This park is OK with level, pull through sites and all hookups except cable TV. They are quite busy because they are convenient to I-40 and are Passport. However, it is not a park we would want to stay in for more than a night or two. They have virtually no facilities like pool, picnic area, etc., and the ground is very rough with volcanic rock, very difficult to walk. Be careful coming in because the road at the entrance is very rough. Williams is at 7,000 feet and it was quite cold here in April. One morning was 28 degrees. We did find a much nicer park, and made a reservations for a month. We camped here in a Motorhome.

It is a nice park. There are large sites with full hookups and cable (free) and free wifi. We didn't use wifi because our broadband cards (Verizon and Sprint) work very good. We only stayed the one night, but two years ago we stayed longer. It is a nice area lots to see. The only negative is it is close to I40 so there is lots of traffic noise.

A perfect place if you are looking for a spot to tour the Grand Canyon/Flagstaff/Sedona area. It is just off I-40 but far enough to be quiet! It has gravel sites: well maintained and spaced. It is one hour to the Grand Canyon, half hour to Flagstaff and about one hour to Sedona, plus alot more that we ran out of time to see. For all our fellow military families and retirees: this owner is the best. Hooah to him and his staff. We will be back for a longer stay. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We had the same experience with Passport America reservations as did previous reviewers. We called in and clearly identified ourselves as PA members and were told there was space. When we arrived the clerk denied we identified ourselves as PA members and offered the FMCA rate. We told him we'd go elsewhere and he gave us a "PA rate" ($4/night more than PA directory stated) at cash only (no checks). Spaces are fairly tight, but no problem with 40' class A and tow. Scenery is spectacular, and the proximity to the Grand Canyon is unbeatable. We'll stay here again provided if get an understanding of PA rates when making reservations.

Strange thing happened and our first experience with this after 6 months of traveling. Called out of the Passport America book ahead of arrival regarding availability and was curtly told "no vacancies". Drove there anyway and found about 40 empty sites and the man was more than willing to have us there. Only offered Good Sam discount at double the price of PA. Not sure why that happened. The park is ok for the overnight stay. Red lava rock and pretty level sites with nice views. We camped here in a Motorhome.

A good base to see the Grand Canyon. It's a basic campground with some long term campers. The cable TV didn't work and I didn't use the Wi-Fi. My reservation was for 2 nights. When I checked- in, I asked if I wanted to stay a 3rd night would they have room. I was told by the workamper this would be no problem. Since it was Labor Day weekend I was glad to hear that. The park was far from full. I called the office the afternoon of my 2nd day and talked to the owner, he said my spot had been reserved for 3 weeks and I could not stay. He did not offer me another space. Since I used Passport America, I have my opinion on why. The park was about 25% full. The big plus for my visit was a Private Grand Canyon Tour Guide Marvouls Marv advertised on the website. I took his tour with another couple and it was awesome. I have been to the Grand Canyon in the past but had not seen any of what he showed us. The tour was worth every bit of $85 for the entire day including pick-up. I would stay at this park again even though I was annoyed with the owner's business ethic. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I found the check-in to be very easy and I was given a space with a view. There are not a lot of trees and no grass so I started to pull out my awning and was told it would be wise not to use it. The winds have been known to tear an awning right off. Because of the heat, wind and rain I spent most of my time indoors. Some spaces have tables but not mine. The bathrooms and laundry room are kept very clean. The park sets on a small hill with a short walk to town. I stayed for a month because I had already paid in advance. It's a good place to stop for the night only because of the reasonable rates. This is a park you would use to sleep in overnight and move on. We camped here in a Motorhome.

It doesn't take much to make me happy, wifi is a must and I hate parks that advertise it and then locate you so far from the tower that it doesn't work. If you are a Camp Club member go to the Railroad RV Park in downtown, the price is the same and the wifi works all over. I wish I had know this before I stayed here. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a very basic park with two things going for it. 1. Passport America, and 2. Wonderful water from melted snow. So pure that my meter registered it better than bottled water. I completely filled my tank before we left. Very nice staff. Easy to find. A little tight for our 40'DP but not bad. Good for a day or two. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The entrance drive is full of large pot holes and make it difficult to get in without spilling everything in the RV. Also if you're trying to come and someone is leaving, you have a problem. The staff was fairly friendly but didn't go out of their way to make you feel at home. They fuss if someone doesn't pick up after their pet but they don't mind letting their dog roam all over the park and do his business. This is a Passport America Park and that is the only reason we stayed there. My friend with us had requested a 50 amp site and he was given a 30 amp site. The sites are designed so that 2 RV can be parked on the same site, end to end. I guess that's okay if you're not on the end and are ready to leave before the one in front of you. I don't really believe we'd would stay there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Park is convenient to interstate and Grand Canyon. Manager was service oriented. Our smallest needs were his concern. They even tried to call us on arrival needs. We took the MarvelousMarv tour of the Grand Canyon and enjoyed his individual style tour in a van. He took us to his choice spots at the Canyon with his commentary and CD of his photos. We stopped and hiked a couple of places. We used the local Canyon Pets to board and groom our dog. The manager helped contact and arrange pickup and delivery of our pet. Okay, except boarding cost for 8 hours was a little high. Williams is an interesting Route 66 town. We would stay again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

As stated in other reviews, park is pretty basic, but well-cared for. Staff were very friendly and helpful. We needed a boost for the battery in our diesel truck and they were quick to assist. Ground is all large stone so yes, pretty rough on the feet etc. Cable service is almost useless but Wi-Fi was okay. Passport America rate of $18.50 makes it a good option. Touring the Canyon with Marvelous Marv's Tours is a good deal. Park will set it up for you and saves a lot of hassle with parking at the Canyon. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Very rough entrance and roads. All sights are large stone but easy to level. Not pet friendly and the large stones are rough on small animal feet. Cable is almost non-existent with a few local and cable channels but reception is very poor even though I tried another connection. Power was poor and dropped below 110 volts frequently. Good for an overnight stay but other other parks are closer to the Grand Canyon. Wi-Fi was fair. We stayed 4 nights and would stay again only if passing through. Passport America discount makes this park usable although it should be discounted further for lack of amenities, roads and long distance from sewer connections. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We arrived for a one night stay on our way to the Grand Canyon. This park was digging out from 4 feet of snow that they had in the prior weeks. We were fortunate(?) to have a period of somewhat warm temps, which caused the dirt gravel roads and RV sites to be very muddy and messy. The clay in the soil was extremely difficult to get off of your feet and this made a mess inside our RV. I would guess that this same situation could exist in the Summer after a rain. There was not a designated dog walk location however as most, we carry a bad for clean-up. The cable TV service was marginal at best. The park has an arrangement with the adjoining gas station to give a 10 cent discount on gas purchases. You have to check into the park first to receive this discount. This is a good thing, IF you need fuel, because the stations in Williams all were charging about 50-75 cents more per gallon that any of the other surrounding cities. I would consider stay at this park again, if the weather was good. I would avoid it if rain or snow melt is expected. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here six nights while we toured the south canyon area. The staff is very friendly and helpful with suggestions, with restrooms that are modern and spotless. There were only about ten picnic tables for 100 sites, so we had to wait for a neighbor to leave and haul that one over. Long pull through level sites, and good Wi-Fi. Back row faces storage row of RVs, and looks junkie. Front row has a beautiful view towards south. Loose volcanic rock a bit hard to walk on except where it has been packed down by vehicles. As a base campground for touring, it served us well. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed four nights at Passport America rate. We were guided to the level site. The sites are fairly large but are back to back. In a fifth wheel they rent the front site so it is a pull through and then rent the rear site to a smaller rig. The campground is gravel and small rock. We would definitely stay here again.

Actually, this campground is basically a parking lot, no more. It is a few acres, off exit 163, that has been cleared and completely covered with crushed lava rock, interspersed with a few small trees with electric, water and sewer hookups. No amenities period, you’re here, you park, if you haven’t brought it with you, you’re not going to find it here. There is NO GREEN HERE! It is mostly inhabited with ‘permanents’, in very old units, that have been here for awhile. The operators are quite nice, and try to be accommodating within their limits, bathrooms are clean. WiFi is NOT. Very, very spotty, if it’s there at all, most times it didn’t even work at the office, where the antenna was, let alone at our site, which was at the far end of the parking lot, AND IT’S VERY, VERY SLOW. This is a Passport camp and maybe that explains everything, you get what you pay for. We would not stay here again. Actually the KOA at exit 167 where we stayed 5 years ago is MUCH better, and we hate KOAs. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We paid the Passport America rate, and this campground was not worth anything more. No Pool, no shade, no book exchange. TV service at our site did not work, had to plug into adjoining site. TV was 9 channels, only 4 worked, could not get all the networks; TV cut in and out. They offered 20 cents/gallon discount at a gas station they own, but the discounted price was still 15 cents more than gas in town. I felt very ripped off. Would never stay there again.

Paid Passport rate. We did not have any problem with mgmt here. In fact we showed up at 11:00 am as we only had a 70 mile drive from prior stop, there was no problem with the early check in, they just checked to make sure that the site was empty. Ongoing improvements being made. We would stay here again. One note on gas prices, Williams stations were 50 - 60 cents higher than Flagstaff, even the stations on 64 heading up into the Canyon were not that high. Fill up before getting here.

The people running this park are very cranky and unfriendly. We were placed in probably the least desirable site when the park was half empty. The site was right next to the workers unit and they smoked incessantly which meant we had to keep our windows closed. The workers played loud music in their unit and their sewer hookups leaked. Next time we will stay in one of the other parks in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

A nice home base for the Grand Canyon area. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The park itself was fairly new and had large red rocks as ground cover. It was a little hard to walk on these rocks. The sites were tight but large enough for big rigs without awnings. Each site had its own hookups except we had no cable. At the front the motorhomes were two to a site. The washrooms were clean and large but you had to walk on the red rocks a fair distance to get to them. The park is a Passport America participant and we would stay at this park again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

I can only give this park a 5 rating because of how they line up the rigs, end to end. The front row would be okay, but we were in the second row and our front window was three feet away from the motorhome in front of us and we were looking at the back of their rig. Not much of a view. I've never seen a situation like that in my two and a half years of fulltiming. We have been back and forth across country twice taking a different route from California to Maine. I just don't understand their thinking. That was the first time we have been put in a line like that. I felt we were in a dealership parking lot! We used RUSA for half off price and paid extra for 50 amps. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Interesting park with lots of train decor and real train cars to sleep in. There was no pool available in November. The sites are gravel and not very level but good access. Has Wi-Fi and cable TV. The bathrooms are in a building labeled Laundry which was confusing, and the 5 digit code didn't work on one side of the building which was confusing. But once inside everything was very clean and nice. The staff were very friendly and helpful; they have an interesting store here too, with souvenirs, snacks, small selections of groceries and lots of train stuff: cute.

The park itself is laid out well and is maintained very well. We stayed in one of the "deluxe" sites which have a bit more room and were nestled up next to a treed area. Roads are graveled and the office staff extremely helpful. The park is on the outskirts of the small town of Williams close to the road to the Grand Canyon. There is some slight freeway noise when outside as well as some freight train noise - noise that I believe you would hear anywhere in Williams as the tracks run through town. Lots of room to walk the dogs. They also rent out railroad cars that have been turned into rooms as well as a small motel here for people needing more bed space than in their RV.

This was our 2nd stay and this time I found the cable TV connection. It rain for the 3 days we were there and while we were dry the lower west end spaces were under water and one RV in that area was nearly flooded out. We saw the owner wade through thigh deep water to get to his rig. Three hours after the rain stopped the flooded sites were clear. I would stay here again but only if a slight rain was expected. I would not drive our truck through the flooded road on the west side of the park and since that was the only way back to the site we had it would have kept us out of our 5th wheel.

RV Park setting is unique as it has an funky old time feel. Roads are dirt/gravel mix as well as pads. Part of the park is level, but most of it is on an incline, although pads are fairly level. Pad length was sufficient; however, little room on either side of RV to walk around due to slope. Dogs on leash OK, with walk around areas. Park was quiet and scenic. Bathrooms were warm, very private and clean. Staff helpful and friendly. Information on local services and entertainment plentiful. I did not try Wi-Fi or Satellite or Cable TV.

Stayed over night prior to putting the RV in storage at the same location for $85 per month; cheaper than pulling the RV up from Phoenix once. The review section indicated they had cable TV but when I hooked up I could not find any cable connection. Did not use any of the amenities so I can't comment on those. The folks were very friendly, and they were open until 10 PM local time and had late arrival process if you were coming in later than that. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The price seemed high for Arizona, but you're paying for its relatively close location to the Grand Canyon. Very wide, fairly long pull-through sites (and some back-ins), set far enough back from the I-40 that I didn't hear much highway noise. Sites at the bottom of the hill were level; ones further up the hill looked sloped. They charge extra for 50-amp hookups, and extra during March Break or other holidays. Wi-Fi was completely broken when I was here, but they warned me about that when I phoned ahead. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The atmosphere is Route 66 and the train car and cabooses are an attraction. The laundry and bathrooms were clean and nice: but there were only 3 toilets and two of them were in a unit with a shower and sink. So if people had to use the toilet there was a long, long line in the mornings and in the evening. We asked for a lot close to the bath house because of my limited mobility but they did not put us in a spot that was right across from the bath house and that spot remained open. We were already set up when we saw that no one was placed in that spot for the night. The pool was enclosed but our grandsons returned from the pool reporting that it was so dirty and green that they would not go into it. A smart decision by 15 and a 13 year-old boys. There were campgrounds closer to Grand Canyon but we had already reserved our space before we learned that our friends were not going to be able to meet us there. We would have lost a night's paid-in-advance space if we had chosen to stay at another campground. It was about 50 miles to the Canyon. We would rather have stayed in Trailer Village inside the Park but reservations have to be made so far ahead we could not get in there for the second night. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This was a family vacation. We had people in tents, RV's and even a motel room. The RV site was on a slope. It was dangerous coming out of the RV because of the slope. Also I couldn't believe that having a picnic table made for a deluxe site. There were were lots of weeds. You were expected to put your tent on lava rocks. I thought the motel rooms were very expensive for what they had to offer. The outside light was out and we asked a few times if it could be fixed. I was abruptly told, that management had been told about it. It wasn't fixed for a whole week. I would think they would worry about safety. I was a little surprised by the attitude of the people. It's sad because it could be a real nice place. I used to be in the hospitality business so I was really taken back by the attitudes. Sad to say, but one of the least impressive places we've stayed when it comes to accommodations and hospitality. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park is located with sites going up the hillside so it provides a beautiful view for watching the sunset. In spite of it being on a hill, the sites were surprisingly level. Bathrooms are clean and private but as someone else mentioned, you end up walking up hill one way or the other depending on where your site is. Sites don't have fire pits or individual BBQ grills, but they do have grills located elsewhere for use. Wifi was spotty, but we weren't in camp much so it wasn't a big deal. The hotel rooms aren't much to speak of for the price according to someone that was with us. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The campground was fairly full the days we stayed due to a reunion or something of that nature. Several Route 66 fans in the campground. Nice place to stay. Could use a little more TLC. Weeds growing tall is the main complaint. Easy to get around campground. Sites were nice size with 3/4 crushed granite. Nice view of the valley and Williams. Newer restroom/shower/laundry facility that was kept clean. Indoor pool stated as being heated. Heated with ice cubes would be more like it. We got in due to it being hot, but hard to enjoy. Nice little store and the attendant seemed to be well spirited. Internet available in the store. Tent campers were expected to set up on lava rock and straw. Easy access to get to the Grand Canyon. Grand Canyon Train goes through the area several times a day with the horn. I would return here, but a little more TLC would be appreciated. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice park and would highly recommend. Park host was very friendly and helpful with info about the surrounding area. Great place if you have a dog due to there is a open field area with tall pine trees surrounding one side and the back side of the RV park. Great place to stay if you plan to go to the Grand Canyons. Most sites are level pull-throughs and are long enough even if you have a tow. The sites have full hook-ups and include cable. There is also a secure internet connection that works great.

This is a pretty basic park. The sites are pull-through and are long enough even if you have a tow. I had no trouble getting my unit level. The sites have full hook-ups and include cable. There is also a secure internet connection, although I didn't use it as my wireless card worked fine. There is a pool, but no hot tub. They also have a small store where you can get a few items if you need them. The main attraction here is the train that goes to the Grand Canyon. It is only a few minutes away. About the same distance away are several fast-food eating establishments. Flagstaff is only 30 minutes away if you need something bigger and Sedona and the Grand Canyon are both about an hour away. I would be willing to stay here again if I needed to be in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I camped two nights at a tent site. There are absolutely no services provided at the tent sites. No electric, no water, nothing. Sites are located on a gentle slope. Very little level ground. To use the restrooms/shower requires a one block walk downhill, and then back up the hill. WIFI reception was very poor. We camped here in a Tent.

This was an excellent stay. Everything on the campground was vintage. It really kept the motif of Route 66 alive. The location was excellent to downtown Williams, the Grand Canyon train and the reservoirs that near by. The campground is quiet. The general store is more of a retail store for Route 66. The sites are somewhat level. Our air card worked very good. Cable was OK. First campground we have stayed at that recycles. We highly recommend dinner at Red Raven. If you are going to dine there after 7 PM make reservations. If you have kids catch the "shoot out" that occurs every night from May - Labor day in downtown Williams. Ask a local every night is in a different location. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We regret that our schedule requires that we leave tomorrow after only two nights here. Next time, we'll schedule a week! This is a great little park in a wonderful location, particularly if you're visiting the Grand Canyon. The town of Williams is charming and fun, with lots of shops and restaurants. Beer fanciers, try the Sultana Ale at the Sultana Bar downtown. Regarding the park, the new restrooms and showers are great, lots of hot water, and lots of room. Our site, at the top of the hill, was perfectly level and had a great view. The utilities were flawless, with the exception of a leaky water valve, which was pointed out to the staff while hooking up. It was fixed the next day. We really enjoyed it here, and look forward to returning. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a very nice park with a friendly staff. It is located approx 1 mile from US 40. The town of Williams is about 1 1/2 mile from the park. Only has 2 showers but they are separate rooms for either sex and are large enough for a small family. Very clean and plenty of hot water. If you have a dog they can get off the leash on the back side of park where the trees are. Little store on site. It is about 60 miles straight on US 64 to Grand Canyon Park. The only drawback was the pool was not heated and it is advertised as heated indoor pool. Water was a little too cold for me to get in. Sites are gravel but very large and sewer hose must be off the ground. Very nice park and we would definitely stay there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is the nicest campground we stayed on in North America. The staff couldn't be more welcoming and friendly. They gave us a survival package and two silver dollars as change. A nice gesture if you ask us, quite unique. The sites were really big and level. You have free wifi at your site. Our price is with Campclub discount. The showers were so great it feels like you are at home. They are located in the nicest recreation room with a heated patio in front of it. You can also sleep in an actual train cabin if you want and they looked real comfortable. There are also normal motel rooms to stay in. The campground has easy access to the Grand Canyon and the great town of Williams along Route 66. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I love this little park. I spent a week here and over the weekend had 30 friends arrive who stayed in the motel section (plus 2 other RVs). Great for small group gatherings like that. BBQ area, inside pool, gorgeous gas firepit for the evening gathering. There is a wide variety of sites from very wide back-ins, to nice pull-throughs, to deluxe wide pull-throughs. The staff is wonderful. I was able to receive mail and packages while here (always a plus for a full-timer). There is MUCH to see in the area. The little town of Williams is a kick (yeah, on Route 66). I plan to come back. The only reason I rated it a 9 instead of a 10 is the lack of restrooms, showers & laundry -- and they are working on those. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Park looked to be well maintained. There is still no bathhouse but not a concern for me. It was very cold which made unhooking water lines nightly a necessity. My site was level with lots of room at a row end. But there were never more than 3 campers while I was here (9 days)and the office kept assigning spots where the few campers here were right next to each other and the whole rest of the park was empty! It is nice to have a little more breathing space in the off seasons than that. WiFi worked great. Pool was shut down for season. Overall, nice park We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a Gem in progress. The Owners are just great people. They are making improvements on a daily bases. We stayed in our 40ft 5th wheel RV for a few days. I was able to give them some suggestions. The Owners are working hard in making many additional amenities. They were very upfront that the showers and bath house was under construction. If those amenities were needed they referred you to another local Campground. We enjoyed the town of Williams. Also the Grande Canyon visit. Williams, AZ. does have a local train that goes to the Grande Canyon. So if you do not like trains, this maybe an issue. We would go back. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park is NOT the Railside RV Park which is down the road 300 yards. It's easy to inadvertently turn in here first. Even though this park is still being developed (dusty and the owner was grading new sites while we were there), the owners are nice and have the best of intentions for developing the park. The utility infrastructure is brand new and the WiFi is powerful and working most of the time. If the owners make the right decisions over the next few years, this might be a nice park. They need to work on site leveling a bit more and landscaping is apparently on the agenda in the next few weeks. Overall, certainly better than the Railside RV Park which denies they have seasonals and permanents notwithstanding the plywood skirting around many units. We chose this place over the Railside RV Park which is looking rather run-down. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The free Tengonet WiFi is strong and the speed was acceptable during the day, but in the evenings it was intermittent. Verizon voice and data signals are not strong, but they are stable and usable.

As good a park as I've seen. Easy access to the road, large level sites, sensible hook-up location. Friendly helpful staff. My rate reflects 4 adults with KOA discount, which is why it is higher than posted rate. Not a 10 because while we were here on average 1/2 of the washrooms were out of service. That said, the whole place is brand new and the washrooms are awesome. They are all private rooms with locks on the doors. The showers are the largest I've ever seen in a campground. Marble countertops, heated, hangers for towel and clothes. They have 24 hour laundry facilities and a games room with Wii, puzzles, pool table etc. The outdoor pool and hot tub were not in use because it was cold: in fact it snowed 11 inches while we were here. We bought propane here and paid $20 for a 30LB tank, vs $30 at a KOA in Stanton 4 days earlier. There is a Shell station right next door that sells gas and diesel. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We really liked this KOA. We arrived after dark, and they helped us into the site. They do shut off the water at night in freezing conditions, but provide plenty of warning. All you have to do is make sure your fresh water tank has the water you will need to make it through the night, no problem at all. The bathrooms and showers were the cleanest we have seen. We even considered using them instead of our trailers for more elbow room. The playground was great for the kids. They even have a doggies playground. The staff was great. I even saw one member help a woman carry her laundry baskets back to her site. The laundry room is great by the way. The only negative is the lack of shade. We didn't need it in November, but in the summer on a hot day I could see it being hot in the sun. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We pulled in after driving all afternoon and used it for the night. Staff was nice- they were closing up the office and told us to just pull in and would deal with us in the morning. Not a lot of big shade trees and sites are pretty close together, but for an evening stop over, it was a nice place. Restrooms/showers were nice. It is right on the road to the Grand Canyon, so you could use it as a base station for Grand Canyon trips. When we were there, there were only a few other campers. In the summer, it could easily be crowded due to lack of big trees and landscaping. Very nice clubhouse with nice fireplace and coffee concession inside. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This has been the most well maintained KOA we have used to date. The sites could use a bit of work for leveling, nothing to severe though. Entire park (drive and pads) are finely crushed lava rock, so expect to have some in the RV if you step inside with shoes on. The hookups were solid. The showers/restrooms were a bit small but very clean, and with the log cabin appearance, the nicest ones we have seen. The only draw back is the fact there are only 6 of them, and 3 are closed after the office closes. Not to much to do at the park, but considering the Grand Canyon is less than 45 minutes away that is a non-issue. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable about the area and is eager to share it with you. Only recommendation to make it better, they need to setup the water supply with heat/anti-freeze system, instead they currently turn off the water after 8pm if it is supposed to drop below freezing for more than an hour a night. Having a heated fresh water tank is a must for the fall-winter time here. Park has plenty of room to maneuver around even a big rig with a toad. Will likely stay at the Canyon Trailer Village when we come back in the summer, but spring/fall this is likely your best bet. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is our second time to stay at this campground. It is very pretty and close to Williams, but we will not stay here, again. Even though they have concrete slab at each site, the one this time was no where near level. And, the idiots who parked in the site beside us, proceeded to take our picnic table and took it on the other side of their camper. Also, they were allowed to put a tent on their site. If I wanted to camp where there are tents (and I used to have a tent), I would camp some place else: not where it is a very organized, beautifully landscaped RV park. The management should be more in control. We camped here in a Truck Camper.

Stayed here for four days to visit the Grand Canyon and other area attractions. This is a really good campground with friendly staff, nice grounds, and nice views. Internet connection was weak and at times non-existent. I think we had the best site with no other sites on our camper door side. Nice and private feeling. Site was not level and neither were most of the sites on the "hill." If in the area again we will surely use this KOA. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Last visited this KOA in 2005, before the office burned down. They now have a new office and it is very nice. Park is well maintained and staff is very friendly. Only stayed here one night as we traveled along I-40. Will stay here again when passing through Williams AZ. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This campground is kept well, bathrooms and showers are very clean. It was a good place to stay, but it was too crowded for us - there was usually a long wait for a bathroom and/or shower. It was also a little too far from the Grand Canyon (1 hour), but it was close to William (which is a great town!). We would stay here again if we can't find a place closer to the Canyon. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

I think this campground has been reopened or recently renovated. All facilities are new at this writing (pool, office, dog run, utilities connections, cabins). The roads and sites are all rock. The sites are not as level as they might be, and some effort is needed to get level. We were in need of a campsite en route to the Grand Canyon, called at 8AM and the manager was very helpful in getting us in early. He also was helpful with information for the town of Williams. The campground is handy if driving on I-40 and you wish to go to the Grand Canyon (50 miles north). They have a nice fenced dog run also. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This campground is convenient to the Grand Canyon, Flagstaff, and Sedona. The camp site arrangement is circular and we camped in the outer ring. The center of the ring is all of the camp services, store, indoor swimming pool, showers, etc. The sites are fairly level and there are pine trees throughout to provide shade. The folks that run the place are very nice and the staff is helpful. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This park has a long way to go to be in the list of best parks. Cabins are new and nice, showers are new and nice even though we didn't use them. I did look them over though. They had a fire 2 years ago and they still don't have their office and store rebuilt. The pool was not open either. The dump station is only accessible when you pull in so if you need it when you are leaving you have to drive around the campground twice. Water pressure was lousy. We were told that they have to truck in all their water as there is no water table where they are. The WiFi was weak also. This may be because there is no office right now so maybe we were lucky to have WiFi at all. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The staff seemed very friendly when we checked in, and the escort that showed us to our site in the dark helped my husband hook up, which was nice. Their brochure showed a "community campfire" area, but nothing was happening when we were there. We saw parts of a new miniature golf course leaning up against a barn - but it is not installed yet.

This is a great campground and an excellent central location to tour the many sites and attractions in Northern Arizona. Many delays are dragging the construction of the new building and swimming pool out past the dates predicted on the KOA website, and the staff here are not sure when everything will be completed and open. Don't let that stop you from coming here though! The sites are clean, spacious, and level and everything in the campground that is not under construction is well maintained. The staff is friendly and helpful and very familiar with things to do and see in Northern Arizona. The Grand Canyon is only 45 minutes from here and some of the other attractions within easy driving distance are the Meteor Crater, Walnut Canyon, Sedona, Sunset Crater, and a bunch of neat "ghost" towns. I've been here for a week with my grandkids and they're having a ball. Even without the swimming pool and usual KOA amenities. Lots of other families and kids here in a quiet, safe location. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

I only rated this park low because it is under construction and not every thing is open after a fire destroyed the office. It also looks like they have recently redone the 50 amp area. (They did discount the rate by $10 because they were not able to give every thing that was advertised.) Not all the restrooms were open yet and not all the dumpsters shown on the map are there. Nice couple running the place (work campers). We camped here in a Motorhome.

Of the RV Parks we saw in the area of Williams, this KOA was the nicest. Lots of trees, and. lots for kids to do. Very clean as well. Also, very quiet at night. We were told that this KOA had cable TV and Wi-Fi at every site. There was no cable TV. The Wi-Fi operation was very poor. During the morning and evening hours it was virtually unusable. Would I stay here again? Wi-Fi kills it for me. I like the park, but I refuse to return to RV Parks that advertise Wi-Fi and then don't deliver a product that works. So, I would probably give it a no. But, if Wi-Fi isn't important for you, then this is a terrific place to stay. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is another one of those sites I keep finding myself at, I have a soft spot for it and always got on well with the previous owners. Sadly a fire has destroyed the main building and the new owners are currently operating out of an RV. However, I found the new people very friendly and construction has started on new facilities now. This is the closest KOA to the Canyon and VERY quiet, clear skies and cool nights. A good place for a chat round a campfire. It is some 5 miles out of Williams so there is very little nearby. There is a Gas Station that is well stocked and an Indian Crafts shop next door. Good Level sites and once the new building is up, I shall be staying there again to see how its progressed.

This KOA was very overpriced for the services offered. We had electric, water and a dump station. In a smaller rig like ours, the Grey and Black tanks do not last long with 2 people using the rest room and shower on board so we had to dump the next morning. This KOA experienced a bad fire and the building was gone. There were no sewer hookups. To add to this lack of service, they asked for $5 to use the dump station. While we probably wouldn't go back here, they do have an asset; they were miles from the train tracks so the night we spend there was very quiet and peaceful. The hosts were very nice. We took a guided tour by a Native American Navaho guide and the tour was well worth the price. "Milton" Made the trip a big success. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a blacktopped parking lot with red lava rocks between sites. Not very "pretty" but this is the desert. Great sites, lovely restrooms and showers. All amenities (pool, playground, etc.) are at the hotel across the street. Nice place to visit the town of Williams. Without the train trip package, rate is $44. There are no signs from the x-way to the campground and lots of people get lost. Desk clerks are aware of the problem but corporate hasn't helped. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Stayed here in our Motorhome the night before a Grand canyon visit. Park was clean and fairly quite although we were on the side closest to the highway, so you could hear trucks at times, but not bothersome at all. Played free horse shoes while the Boys rode pedal carts around track for a nominal fee. Didn't use pool, bathroom and showers were very nice. Operators and employees also very friendly. Overall nothing to rave about but certainly no complaints. Would Probably come back if I couldn't get a Grand Canyon site. Our site was very level. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Great place to stay. With all the tall pines, plus not that far of a drive to the grand canyon. They were limited on water and were hauling water in daily. I guess it was due to the drought they were having. If you used the public shower you had to pump up the pressure to take a shower, but if using the shower in your rig there was no problem. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We stayed here when the Circle Pines KOA wouldn't let anyone stay for less than 3 nights, and we were pleased with it. We were in a tent trailer, and we were put in an area with other tent trailers and smaller RVs. The showers and restrooms were clean, the pool was well-kept, as were the grounds. The pool is an indoor, heated pool, so it's 'swimable' all times of the year. This campground is about 8 miles up the road headed to the GC out of Williams, so you don't have the I-40 noise.

This is a very nice campground in an excellent location. They have a Cowboy BBQ and live entertainment nightly and the food prices for the BBQ are very reasonable. The swimming pool is indoors. The only bad thing about this KOA is they didn't have a playground. They had a spot for one, but when we walked by it, all of the equipment was taken down and leaning up against the building. They only have a few sewer sites also. If we were out this way again, we would probably stay here. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

I wanted to leave a review, but we did not stay here. We had planned our Grand Canyon trip for about a year, with this campground being our destination. We drove up, and were so dissappointed. We couldn't believe all the good reviews. First they had only a few full hookups, and then when we looked at the pool, (as we have a daughter and this was very important). It was nothing like the photo on their website, it looked like a very old greenhouse cover over it. We left and drove back to the Grand Canyon Railroad RV Park and stayed there. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We stayed here as part of a package deal on the train ride to GC, bus tour and lunch. Regular rate is $39 before any discounts. Very nice park, wonderful bathrooms although no hot water one night, and no shower shelf for shampoo,etc. Paved sites not level and would be very hot in summer. Hookups well-placed but cable tv had some problems. Nice walk to town and depot. Train ride was long & boring, would rather drive to the Park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Great Park. Staff very friendly. All spots were very long and asphalt with a concrete patio. The park requires you to have at least 12x12 pads under your leveling jacks. If you don’t have any, they will give them to you to borrow. I felt the spots were a little cramped, but about average for RV parks around the country. Bathhouses and showers were very clean (loved the 60’s music they pump throughout the park). I saw that some have complained about the lack of hot water, I never had an issue. I think if people are using the laundry facilities, there may be a lack of hot water). The park also allows access to their hotel exercise facilities and indoor pool. The train depot is right next door and on occasions you can hear it roll in. A few times at 2:30am. I am a heavy sleeper so I only heard it once during the night. Williams is only a few blocks away and also a great old town with some great restaurants. We drove ourselves to the Canyon and didn’t utilize the train. Overall I would stay here again. We camped here for 4 nights. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a very nice park with paved streets and paved sites. A small problem is that it is located adjacent to a railroad track but very few trains come so sleep should not be problem. For those with pets, the walkway for pets around the perimeter of the park is made up of very sharp stones and our dog choose to walk on the curb rather than the stones. Also, the area surrounding the sites is made up of very fine red crushed rock and is easily tracked into the RV. Hard to avoid. But overall a very nice park to stay in for the train ride to the Canyon. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I didn't like this park. It has all the bells and whistles and on paper looks like it should be luxurious, but it left me cold. Maybe if I had had time to stick around for the train ride I'd have been left with a better impression. Basically, it seemed very overpriced. There was a shuttle to various places that came with the price, like a restaurant, hotel, and gym, but nothing was within walking distance. I was extremely unhappy with the showers--it was impossible to get hot water, and the water pressure was terrible. I get hotter showers with better pressure in my motorhome! There's a nice fire and seating area by the restrooms, where there are also phones where you can call to ask for a shuttle pick-up. My site was level and easy to pull into. There was a long list of rules to follow. Another reviewer called it "corporate," I think, and that's a really good description. I could hear the trains, but I kind of like that so it didn't bother me. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I stayed here for 2 days. Campground elevation is 6,680 feet. Maneuvering my 40 footer towinga dinghy in the park was no problem. Roads and sites are asphalt and the patio is gravel. Site spacing is fair. Pull through sites hold a 40 foot motorhome and tow. My site 221 offered 30/50 amp service & full hookups. WI-FI and cable was included in the daily rate. I was able to receive AT&T Wireless, G2 Internet ,& Cellular service. I received Dish Network 110/119 Satellite TV from dish on roof of motorhome. Campground is pet friendly. Walmart is 34 miles away and Safeway was 1. I am unable to comment on other amenities due to not using them. My site and friends next to mine have too much slope front to rear. He was unable to completely level his motorhome. I was able to level mine but could not get the steps out due to hitting the pad. I could have leveled it enough to get the steps out but would have had to lift the rear wheels off the ground to do so. Both of us are in Class A diesels. Another negative is there is not one blade of grass in the park for our little furry friends. Other than these two things, it is a great park with a lot to do in the area. Campground was quiet and open. I would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Senior Federal Parks Pass discount on entire camping/train to the canyon package. This is not a campground: rather a nicely appointed, newer RV park located right in the town of Williams. Concrete pads and interior roads. Pull through and back-in sites available. Clean, neat and grassy between sites. All the bells and whistles: full hook-ups, pool, cable TV, pet resort, fitness room, pub. Some train noise from the spur line which borders one side, and hiway on the other side of this park. No problem with satellite TV, Verizon or aircard reception. We visited to enjoy the entire railroad experience to/from the canyon. Would check out other parks with our next trip.

Office staff was friendly and check in was easy, but they are not adequately trained on how to make reservations on the train to the Grand Canyon. We had great difficulty leveling and never got the coach completely level. The park is clean and well cared for. Wi-Fi left a lot to be desired and was not dependable at all. There is easy access to the town of Williams where there are some fun places to eat. The Depot Restaurant onsite was a complete ripoff. We really enjoyed Pine Country Restaurant downtown.

This is a very nice and clean park. All of the sites are asphalt. We had a pull through which was long enough for our rig and toad. It was a bit unlevel, but we were able to level using our jacks. A motorhome located two sites down from us had to use blocks under the rear wheels and jacks in order to get level, so choose your site carefully. This park definitely has a corporate feel. We heard a couple of trains each night, but did not find them to be a problem. My only complaints were of the long wait times while making telephonic reservations and the poor signage directing people to the appropriate check in center at the store.

It is new and nice, however the sites are not level. If you have a short coach you won't notice it but if your coach is long you may end up with your wheels in the air.

We loved this campground. It is immaculate and appears to be a newer facility. The restrooms and showers were beautiful! We’ve never seen such nice, high end bathrooms and showers at any campground. Fires are not allowed, but they do have a large community, gas fire pit which they light nightly. They also provide gas bar-b-qs. The campground is adjacent to an active railroad line with trains that go through a few times a night, but the noise really didn’t bother us much. Just be aware if you are a light sleeper. There is a nearby, indoor pool, at the hotel on the same property. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed here for two nights and took the train up to the Grand Canyon. This is one of the more pricey parks, but high quality, and a nice way to see the Grand Canyon if you just want to spend a few hours there. If you want to do some serious hiking or donkey rides, etc. at the canyon, you will not have time. The train only leaves you there for about half a day. The train ride is enjoyable, but also pricey. The park itself is clean, well maintained, & pet friendly (although greenery is hard to find). There is a playground and pool on the hotel grounds available to RV'rs. We made use of both, and it was easy. Staff we encountered were all very friendly & helpful. Restrooms and laundry room clean and functional. Williams is an easy walk with many resaurants, tourist shops, etc. A word of warning: Williams is a tourist town, and everything is more expensive there--especially gas. Gas is 50 cents per gallon more at the local stations than it is 30-50 miles down the road. Gas up before you get there or after you leave! We camped here in a Motorhome.

We prefer a RV park rather than a campground. We stay there every time coming along I-40 and have taken the train to the canyon, what a super experience. Every time we have stayed here we have not unhooked because we enjoy Route 66, and it is within easy walking distance. This is very easy in, and out. Our rate was CampClub USA. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a well kept and clean park, but relatively basic. They provide a picnic table, but the site itself is filled with sharp red rock gravel. No grass anywhere, which makes it difficult if you have a dog to walk. Also, be prepared for loud train whistles at 6 am nearly every day. We did not get much sleep. Williams is a cute old town and the park is a good location for visiting the Grand Canyon and Sedona. And if you want to take the railway to the canyon, it is an ideal location. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a large modern RV park that is big-rig friendly. Sites are paved with lava rock in between. Rock likes to migrate inside so be careful as it can really destroy smooth floors. Staff in the check in area was nice and friendly. WiFi was sketchy in our group’s sites. Nice shower/laundry room however, odd they only have 2 men’s stalls for such a huge park. The cable TV worked good and had a good channel selection. There is no grassy (or even dirt) areas for fido; the dog-run is pretty much gravel/lava rock. Our site was not perfectly level side-to-side but we lived with it. Staff makes you sign, stating you must use pads under any stab jack points as well as acknowledging mandatory use of ramps for sewer hose. Park is directly adjacent to the train tracks (in linear fashion). Over a holiday weekend we saw probably 6 trains a day. Didn’t bother us, but be aware the tracks are right here and they will blow the horn going through those crossings. So if you’re noise-sensitive (or fido is) then you may want to consider other choices. The pool inside the hotel is nice but it is a hike from a majority of the sites. They do offer golf-cart shuttle service which is a help getting to/from the hotel amenities. One thing that is a major drag here is no campfires are allowed, not even in self-contained fire pits. For that reason alone we would be hard-pressed to go back. It’s not camping, (especially in a group setting with kids) when you cannot have a campfire. In addition here’s a special note about the weather. Although not the campground's fault, the winds blew as hard as 55-60 mph for almost the entire 3 days we stayed here, which made it miserable. It blew so hard one day it lifted one corner of the trailer up off the wooden 4x12 block. I had a stab jack cranked down and blew it more than half way under the trailer!! The temps also got down to 30 degrees at night over Memorial weekend. All in all, a nice park but can’t give it a ‘10’ as there was no soft area for fido to walk on, the train noise, and a no-campfire policy. Would consider for an overnight again but that’s probably it. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Very nice, newer park (5 years old). The park itself has few amenities but the RVers have access to the hotel amenities. Very friendly and helpful staff. Since the park is new, it is very big rig friendly. The train tracks are very close but the train noise is not an issue. We used the Camp Club Discount. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a nice, big parking lot with very modern hookups and no trees. They require the use of jack pads, which they sell at the nice office/store. Williams is a Route 66 tourist trap. I was determined to ride the train to the canyon, and if that's what you want to do, this is the best place to do it. The train depot is a short walk from the park. Next time I will stay at the canyon. Train ride was 2+ hrs both ways, and we only had 3-1/2 hours at the canyon. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Stayed one night while passing through. Nice facilities, long and level pull-through with full hook ups. Big rig friendly. The only negatives were no security and upon check-in we were informed that we must have our sewer hose on a raised ramp. They actually made us sign a form stating we would ramp our hose. We do not carry a hose ramp or slinky with us and had to stack up leveling blocks to create one. This is our first experience with this sort of requirement across the U.S. We would stay again despite the hose requirement. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This location has clean, well marked, entrance and sites with a very friendly and helpful staff. The check-in person was very helpful with options and activities. The office is open until 8 pm. RV site has option to use pool, hot tub and exercise room and adjacent hotel (with key cards). Good water pressure (> 60 PSI), power 122 VAC, cable was not full strength to give a great picture, but no problem with satellite. Small store located at the check-in point. The train is just south of the campground (what in Williams isn’t near the trains), and there is a train that goes to the Grand Canyon, with a package rate with the campground. Used the Camp Club rate. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was a really nice RV park. Everything was exceptional. They had a special with the train up the Canyon that I had researched prior to getting to the park. The reason for staying here was to see the Grand Canyon. We could have stayed up at the Canyon but did not know that until we took the train up to the south rim. Fun ride and good to get out of the RV for a day but pretty expensive. Next time I would stay up at the south rim RV park so we could have more time at the south rim. The only reason I gave an 8 instead of a 10 was that the staff person did not let us know that was an option but then again we did not ask. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a very nice and clean RV park that accommodates the biggest rigs with any number of slides. All roads are blacktop, few small trees and volcanic rock between the narrow sites. The utilities are modern and well placed. The WiFi was excellent. The laundry was large and clean. The patio area has tables and gas BBQs which were very clean. RV'ers are able to use the adjacent hotel pool and spa which was very nice. We knew we were camping when our neighbor decided to dump as we were BBQing dinner! We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is really a nice campground. It’s within walking distance to the Grand Canyon Railroad and close to the Grand Canyon South Rim (50 miles) and the three National Monuments in Flagstaff. The Park offers train rides to the Grand Canyon. The park has long and level paved sites; roads are very wide and also paved. The showers and bathrooms are very clean. We had no problems getting a reception on our Verizon cell phone or wireless internet card. Cable and satellite reception were fantastic. The Park is within walking distance of restaurants and a super market. The negatives are no shade trees and you hear trains go by frequently during the day. We highly recommend this park.

The sites were not very level. There were only two toilets for 124 sites. The showers were very clean, tiled and well equipped. The laundry is very clean. There is a large covered picnic area. We were charged full price to store our trailer here while we took the train to the Grand Canyon. The staff for the railway were not helpful with our luggage. The park is located in the heart of Williams, AZ. We probably would not stay here again because we felt we were overcharged. The staff seemed to be indifferent. The train is a good adventure, but the RV park is not. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

I guess if you like camping in a parking lot this is fine. It's way overpriced for the location although the amenities are nice. Spaces are very small, concrete and lava rock, and your picnic table is right next to your neighbors sewer hookup - not appetizing for breakfast. It's very clean, has a playground, convenience store & gas fire pit/ramada area by the bathroom/laundry/shower building. The hotel and restaurants are beautiful and there is a shuttle to take you there. If traveling on the train to the Grand Canyon, this is a great place for temporary parking. The best thing about this park is that you can walk into town at night to all the restaurants & shops in historic Williams. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Yes, it is new. But it is a new parking lot. Directions say check-in is at the convenience store, but there is only a tiny sign on the road opposite the 'park' to indicate where it is. We saw numerous rigs driving around in circles trying to locate registration - we were one of these. Yes, it has new asphalt sites. However, all pull-through sites slope dramatically back to front. Smaller rigs and fifth wheels will probably not have a problem. Forty footers and up will not be able to level easily. We changed sites and still had to drive up on blocks to get close to level. We saw many big rigs with their right front tire off the ground, their jacks supporting the front weight of the coach. Maps given for the train are not accurate, buildings are on it are reversed. Cable was great, Wi-Fi very sporadic. The park was not full but best connection we had was 3 bars, slow response time, frequent drops. As someone said earlier you get what you pay for. In this case, value for cost if not equal. We camped here in a Motorhome.

It's been a while since we stayed there last. As always, this park delivers. Big and wide sites that are paved, utilities that work great, and at the CampClub rate of about 23 bucks it's worth every penny. One thing of note that I didn't like is they changed the reservation process. Now you call the same number as hotel reservations. It was aparent that the "reservationist" knew nothing about RVing and very little about the RV park. When I inquired I was told the call center is located in Colorado. All told we'll stay there again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This RV park is great! It compliments the location. I can't say anything bad about it, however, the other half said it lacked shade and did not like the asphalt. For me the trees are small for now, but within time plenty of shade will be there. I don't like certain rocks, gravel, and dirt (mud); the asphalt is fine; makes it easy to level the RV. You get what you pay for (amenities and good Wi-Fi). They even honored our RV club membership discount. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We have stayed here before and enjoyed it, but will not stay here, again. The people in the site beside us, just took our picnic table and tried to take over our site. The skate boarding kid would just come over on our site. We did complain to Staff and they got us another picnic table, but have no idea if they said anything to the campers beside us.

Check in staff was not terribly friendly. Park is very clean. Restrooms are clean. The picnic pavilion with tons of picnic tables and gas grills for your use, is a very nice touch. Each night there is a fire pit lit outside the restroom/laundry building. Nice for roasting marshmallows. It is quite a walk to the hotel to use their pool and to get to the train depot. If you're in good shape, not a problem though. The shuttle driver was super friendly and could teach the front desk a thing or two about how to treat customers. He was so understanding when our special needs child was afraid to get on the open golf cart. He said "no problem" and quickly went and got a luxurious new van to drive us to the pool. He also came back in the same van to take us back to our RV site. The other campers here were real nice too. Overall, a good experience, but a little pricey and the check in personnel need some training in how to treat the people who are helping to pay their salary. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very convenient campground for Williams and especially if you are riding the train to the Grand Canyon. You are just a couple blocks from downtown Williams and Route 66. Not really sure what we paid for the RV site as we got a package with the RV park, train ride and more. Wife didn't really care for the campgrounds since it was like a parking lot and no wood fires allowed. True, there is no rustic charm to the grounds. It is just a glorified parking lot, but for a stay in Williams it just doesn't get any more convenient. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Park itself is clean. The laundry room is too small for the amount of lots, with no ventilation. The pool was also much too small and shared with the motel guests. The only plus is being close to train for a ride to the canyon. Do not know if this is normal, but there were at least 200 bikers in town with some in the park who were very inconsiderate with noise and speeding through the park. The noise from the bikers, plus being 200 yards from an operating train track was not pleasant. Each night the winds were so strong it kept us awake. The winds might be related to being somewhat in a valley. We would not stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here over Mother's Day weekend after purchasing a AAA vacation package online. It was inclusive of the Grand Canyon Train ride to the Canyon, hot lunch buffet for two, motor coach tour, two $20 gift certificates for the shops there and in the village and two nights at the RV park. The park was definitely an 8 out of 10. The only thing we wish they would have had was grass and trees. It was a bit too medicinal for us with all the concrete and decorative stones. The park was secure, the laundry room was state of the art, the bathrooms and showers were immaculate and gorgeous, the grounds were too perfect. I'm certain the "Big Rig" crowd love it but we campers finished out our stay here at The Grand Canyon across the interstate at a nearby campground. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Price jumped once we arrived for check-in! Local taxes should be considered when prices are quoted. On top of that, requirements for pads and sewer line supports weren't mentioned until check-in. We had those items; but of course, there were stacks of them available for purchase in the office. Pads to protect the asphalt sites are understandable. But, sewer line "ramps" are unnecessary, except to increase the campground's profits. There is no grass to be trimmed, so line trimmers are not used anywhere near the sewer hoses, so their laying on the asphalt would present absolutely no problem. This campground is not worth what they charge, or the surprise requirements you are met with upon arrival. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Typical Corporate Attraction RV park. Has nice sized asphalt sites with convenient utility hookups. They do require sewer hose ramps (can't lay on ground) and plastic or wood blocks under any contact point of RV to the ground. Has very nice laundry and shower facilities. Pool and spa are in the Hotel across the street, so we did not use. We stayed here on a package deal for 3 days with the train ride to Grand Canyon, and Doggie Day Care for our dog. Total package was worth the price although we full time and don't normally spend that much for campgrounds. Wi-Fi was good, but we used our strong Verizon Air card.

This is a excellent park. They have huge showers. Williams, AZ is just blocks away from the park. The people in Williams were extremely nice. Its 54 miles from the Grand Canyon. If your riding the train, its definitely the place to stay. If you want closer to the Grand Canyon, look for sites near Tusayan, AZ. The only downside to this park and the reason it received a 9 and not a 10, is that a freight train came by at 6am and 8am.

The rate shown reflects a half-price CC USA discount. We stayed here through a record snow storm for the area. Snow plows cleared the drives regularly to make ingress and egress possible and when we were ready to leave, they made a special effort to clear for our maneuvering in a big rig. We enjoyed the nearby Elk Ridge ski area that was very small, but very family friendly. We also escaped cabin fever at the associated hotel for a couple of meals at the bar. We checked on the buffet and were shocked at the ridiculous $20 charge for fare such as Shepherd's Pie and corn dogs. If in the area, we will stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This was a great launching point to visit the Grand Canyon. We have an infant and another on the way, so the round-trip train package was the perfect way to visit the Grand Canyon without being too much of a hassle. You only get about 3.5 hours in the park, but during the dead of winter, that was plenty of time. There was a bunch of snow on the ground, but the park was still clean, and the availability of the hotel amenities (pool, fitness center, restaurant, etc) was a nice addition. Would definitely stay again the next time we visit the Grand Canyon. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The previous posts are quite accurate however I'd like to add this park is completely open to anyone who might venture in off the road. There was no visible security observed. If you possess a Concealed Carry permit, have passed the requirements including a FBI background, fingerprint check and strict weapons training you might want to look at another park in the area as you will not be welcome here.

This is a fairly new RV park that opened in 2006. The restrooms/showers were very nice and clean and the sites were nice and level. The sites were paved and the people were friendly. There is a pool available for use at the hotel next door but we didn't utilize it so cannot comment. We booked the Railway special which included roundtrip tickets on the train to the Grand Canyon so I am unsure if there was a charge for the campground as the price we paid seems to be in line with what we would have paid for the train tickets with perhaps a nominal additional nightly fee of $10 or less. This is really a parking lot with paved RV spaces so it wouldn't be a good fit for a long term stay. It's within walking distance of Route 66 for groceries and food but we were not able to find any really good food in town, it's all about the experience I guess. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is one of those paved subdivision type campgrounds.The price of a site is high, but everything is upscale. If the intent is to park your RV here and take the train to the south rim of the canyon, this is the place to stay. If for no other reason than there is a price break for combining the two and the icing on the cake is that you get to use, without charge, the amenities of the hotel. The cable channels are limited, but satellite signals are unimpeded. Wi-Fi signals are strong. There aren’t any individual site picnic tables, but there is a very nice centrally located pavilion with tables and gas BBQ grills. The bathhouse is a superior facility. The reason that I’m not giving this a ten is that my reservation was butchered beyond the limit, there is a fair amount of road and train noise, and there are street lamps at every other pad that light up the inside of the rig at night. Customer service is very good. We camped here in a Motorhome.

An excellent park overall so now I will get picky with park designers.
1st: Why do they insist on placing the cable connection in a box at ankle height with a cover that lifts up making it impossible to see the connection if you are not laying on the ground?
2nd: They have beautiful shower facilities however, the handicap shower has a six-inch high threshold to get into the shower.
Remember, we love this park, just getting picky with designers. It has a great location, Wi-Fi, cable TV, and hookups except as noted. We will always stay here when in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park is everything we hoped for. It was our home for a week, and everybody who works there are very customer oriented. It is important that they meet all your needs and they did just that. Very friendly and made you feel welcome. Showers and bathrooms were immaculate tiled with stone! Location to Williams was perfect, walk across the railroad tracks and there you are. We would return again. Cannot say enough of the great time we had here. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is one of our favorite parks. The park is well laid out, well maintained and offers its guests lots of amenities. You can call a shuttle to take you to the hotel where you can use their indoor pool, workout room or check-out the railroad station restaurant and gift shop. The kennel is outstanding and we would have no hesitation leaving our kids there again. The town of Williams has several local eateries worth checking out and are close enough to walk to. The weather in Williams is awesome and the area surrounding the park is very pretty. This is our third time here and we would definitely stop here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

It is a great clean park. Since it is new there are no trees. It is very clean and well maintained. The only drawback was lack of picnic tables and this makes it feel like a large parking lot. We got a combo, stay and train ride to the campground. We did use dog hotel for our dog and it was great. We ate out in the town (short walk) and I have to recommend Buffalo Pointe restaurant (great inexpensive food). We camped here in a Motorhome.

All of the reservations and directions for the tickets to be picked up were easy and straight forward. The RV spaces are rather narrow and there are no picnic tables. Otherwise, a great, clean park.

Stayed here for two days over the July 4th holiday on the way from CA to OK, and then again ~10 days later on the way home. First time was part of a train package to the Grand Canyon. Cost ~$415 for two nights and 5 round trip train tickets to the Canyon. Second time was just a drive-in with no reservations, and was charged $39 total after a AAA discount. It is extremely hard to make reservations. There is no direct phone number to the park and the wait times for Xantera's central reservation system was enormous. Perhaps because of that, we saw multiple empty spots, even during the holiday weekend. Walking distance to Safeway and the train depot. Includes use of the adjacent resort's pool and spa. Has complimentary shuttles if the walk is too much. Everyone was extremely friendly. Park was spotlessly clean with nice facilities. It is close to the train tracks and you WILL be wakened by a train or two in the middle of the night. Didn't bother me at all. Negatives include narrow spaces, no tables at your site, weak Wi-Fi, and only two stalls in the very nice men's restroom, so usually a waiting line. All said, we would certainly stay there again. Just wish it was easier to make a reservation. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a great park. Clean, as others have said there are picnic tables and BBQ grills available with natural gas. The negative is the trains that come through at all times of the day and night. The tracks are right next to the park. As someone else has already written, if you need mechanical work done on your toad, call Nate at Full Automotive Repair right next to the Mobil Gas Station just down the road from the park on N. Grand Canyon Blvd. These people, are fast, efficient, and trustworthy. We had an excellent experience with them. We didn't take the train this time, we felt that it is an overrated "come on". It's strictly for kids. And your time is extremely limited once you get to the Canyon. Our rate is based on our Camp Club discount. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was way better then we expected. The site was wide there is no picnic tables or fire pit. There is a community picnic area that is very nice has gas BBQ grills, picnic tables. The laundry room was very nice. We used the the swimming pool and you just have to call for the shuttle and they where there in just a minute. Everyone was very nice. We thought it was just a parking lot with hookups but the landscape was very nice even has a walking trail around the park for you and or your pet.

It features a train ride to the South rim of the Grand Canyon and a cowboy show both before leaving and on the train itself. It is located on the old Highway 66.

Immaculate restroom, shower and laundry facilities. Roomy sites for big rigs with super easy turns in and out. Internet access worked well. Indoor heated swimming pool and spa located across the street at the hotel (but readily shared with RV guests) was not as clean as we like to see. The kennel was handy for our dogs to stay while we made a long day trip to the Grand Canyon. Dog walk areas (and everything on-site) were gravel - not a blade of grass anywhere.

Park was very clean. No grass to be had as it was either asphalt or lava rock. Had to use pads under jacks and also had to use a support under your sewer hose. Staff was friendly both at the check in office and in the kennel. Price listed is an estimate as we had a package deal that included the First Class Dome car, Kennel and three night stay. If you are going to ride the train I would definitely suggest the Dome car. If you need any mechanical work like I had to have then I would suggest Canyon Gateway Tire, Auto and RV Repair. It is the Mobil Gas service station on the right as you enter Williams. I would also suggest Al's Mobile Rv Repair if you need general RV Repair work. He will come to your site. Just ask at the office and they will give you his business card. I had to use both services and they are reasonable and reliable. I can't sing enough praises for the Mobil Service station. They are very fine mechanics and do quality work. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Easy wide access with good turning radius to sites. Need foliage for privacy. Friendly staff. Well merchandised/clean store/check in. 1 hr from Grand Canyon. If you want a destination park in the wilderness I would stay at the RV Park at the Grand Canyon. Close to freeway but no freeway noise. The train is loud once in the middle of the night.

The Positive: Close to the train depot. Once inside, the shower area was very nice. RV Park was very clean. Ate late night dinner at Spenser's pub, (family friendly by the way,) and that was decent food, excellent minestrone soup. Highly recommend the train to the Grand Canyon, but take First Class, not coach; the difference is Greyhound bus seating versus huge, plush seats with lots of leg room, and free fruit, coffee, water & pastries in the morning, free cheese, crackers, veggies, sodas, water in the evening return. The Negative: The location is horrible. If you like trains, and the noise which accompanies them, such as whistles & ground shaking three times a night, then this is the park for you. No fire rings, and the community fire pit was not operating. Guest service: poor. Our keys did not work on the doors for the restroom/shower/laundry, nor for entry into the fitness & pool areas, though that could've been corrected by registration I suppose. While we enjoyed the train, we'd never stay here again due to noise level. Rate of $30 is an estimate--part of a package included train tickets. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Easy access for big rigs. A good place for 1 or 2 nights, but not much longer because of the design of the parking spaces: no room for chairs, grills, etc. If you want to see the Grand Canyon via a train ride, then this place is OK. The pet walk is around the perimeter of the lot and is filled with gravel which makes it not so pet friendly. We kenneled our dog when we went to the Canyon for the day. We had a bad experience with this place because it appeared that they had forgot to feed him all day because his food was still in a bag that we had left. They said he just didn't eat, but our dog will eat anytime, and anything. To their credit, they refunded us the cost of the kennel. The train ride to the Canyon is interesting. I'd do it again for sure because the traffic at the Canyon is unbelieveable nowdays. Just take lot's of dollar bills with you because they have cowboy singers, and cowboy robbers on the train (like a show) and they work for tips. Not complaining. Just passing info :) We camped here in a Motorhome.

If you're visiting Williams to see the Grand Canyon, especially if you want to take the train, this is the perfect place to be. This park is spotless and well-located to enjoy Williams as well. But, you need to know, the RV park is a large asphalt parking lot with about 5' of lava rock between you and your neighbor. There are no trees, no picnic tables on your site, no fire pit and/or barbeques and the pool is aprox. 3 blocks away at their motel. Hence, you're feeling more like you are at Wal-Mart - not camping. In addition, they CLAIM to have cable TV, but only have 4 channels of which 2 are weather and local attractions. You are far enough from the 40 freeway noise, but you are right on the train tracks, which may bother some during the night. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We were here in January and there were only a few other RVs. Not all the sites were cleared of snow; which did not matter as there were plenty of cleared ones. The signs for the park are small and easy to miss; especially the one that turns into the street for your arrival. It was a bit confusing where to go to register but once there it is very easy to navigate. As stated by other reviewers; this is essentially a large parking lot. The sites are not completely level and ours sloped back towards the entrance which was not a big deal. We drove the hour to the Grand Canyon easily and rarely saw a car on the drive to or from the National Park. The town of Williams has some interesting stores and the local information TV channel is very informative. Word of caution about the restaurants; go to Google and check out the reviews before you commit as some are not rated well. If I were in the area again I would gladly use this RV park.

I wish we could have visited here when the weather was better, because the amenities were great! The price shown is reflective of the package deal, including tickets up to the Grand Canyon. We also did the Polar Express train, so I think that the total for three nights, three tickets on the train to the Grand Canyon and three tickets on the Polar Express was around $330. I thought that was very reasonable, figuring that I commonly pay $100-$150/night on a mid-range hotel in the Bay Area and the California Coast. The laundry facility was under construction at the time that we were there, but there were still a couple of machines available. We had to get around the snow built up around our site, and we actually had to switch sites because somebody chose not go home when they were supposed to, but the sites were fairly spacious and easy to pull in and out, even with the four-foot-high snow banks. Wi-Fi was good, and showers very clean and warm. Would stay again, but probably in the spring. By the way, you can have a fire if you bring your own self-contained firepit. They just don't want fires on the ground. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park is a must if you want to take the Grand Canyon train into the park. We stayed here as part of a RV/train ride package. The RV park is across the street from the train depot and the hotel. The hotel's amenities are available to those who stay in the RV park. Sites were very clean and mostly level. An additional plus is the on site kennel - we boarded our dog for the three days we were in town at a reasonable cost. There were one or two freight trains that came through each night - probably the only negative about the park.

We stayed here because we were taking the train up to the south rim of the Grand Canyon, and we got a package deal with the train tickets (it only cost an additional $18 for 3 nights in the RV Park).

Note - Rate includes 4 round trip train tickets and 3 nights at CG. It was a package deal. I've never stayed in a "resort" campground, but I'm going to assume this is what it would be like. If you're looking to "get away from it all" and do some trees and campfire camping, go elsewhere, this place isn't for you. If you like very modern facilities, nice level sites, free bbq grills, and nicer showers and bathrooms than most folks have at home, then this is the place. We enjoyed 3 nights here, and a trip to the grand canyon on the train. Both were excellent. The sites are paved asphalt and concrete. Cable, water, sewer and up to 50amp were there. All worked splendidly. The showers were clean and nice with individual dressing areas, and the bathrooms were nice and clean too. The laundry was well equipped as well. There are several (6) free gas grills to be had, and even a huge gas fire pit to meet some fellow campers. We used both and liked them. We also took advantage of the included use of the hotel pool and workout facility. both are nice and clean too. We also used the dog kennel attached for $14/dog/day. My daschund was happy and well cared for while we explored the canyon. This is a great campground, maybe a little overpriced, but considering what is included, I think it's worth it.

There is absolutely no shade, but that didn't bother us since it wasn't too hot. Mornings were cool, but the train horn will definitely wake you up early!

This is a very clean RV Park. The sites are large pull throughs but there is not a speck of grass in the park. It is obviously a fairly new park and the trees will need some years to grow and provide shade. We enjoyed our stay but had two major complaints - RV guests were allowed to use the pool and hot tub at the hotel, but it was so full of children it was not usable by our group of retirees. Parents allowed young children to use the hot tub and capacity was 9 and there were 15 people in it! Yikes! The dogs need a grassy area for a dog run - lots of dogs don't like to do their business in rocky areas. In time they may work out these problems. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We had a level pull thru at this big, clean park that is about an hour drive from the Grand Canyon. There’s not much by the way of aesthetics, but if you need a very long spot, this is the place for you. Very long mostly pull thru sites, very wide also. We’d love more trees and some grass, but out of the question in the desert I guess. The train honks the horn at ungodly hours of the a.m.! The staff was excellent, very helpful and friendly. The bathrooms were large and about the nicest and cleanest I’ve ever seen. They certainly have lots of amenities and we enjoyed their new, clean playground with our young daughter.

This is a nice, new, clean RV park. The trees are young so there is no shade. The roads and level parking pads are paved blacktop with red rock gravel and a small tree between sites. There is a couple of what they call Companion Sites where you can park door to door with friends. The price was reasonable and they offer Good Sam, AAA, weekly, and monthly discounts. This is part of the Grand Canyon Railway Hotel so you get all the privileges of the hotel. They have a shuttle that will take you anywhere on the property such as the Hotel or Grand Canyon Railway Train station however you are within walking distance of the train, hotel, and downtown. Being new the restrooms are very clean. The only down side is it is right next to the train tracks and a couple of freight trains come through in the middle of the night.

The nightly rate of $14 was based on their 2-night RV Get-A-Way special ($79 per person). The special includes 2-nights of camping in their RV park, and a round trip coach class ticket on the train (plus taxes and $8.00 admission to the Grand Canyon National Park per person, although the admission fee is re-funded if you have one of the National Park system passes). This 'campground' is actually a parking lot, but it's a very nice looking parking lot. Most sites are pull-through. They do ask if you are going to put down jacks that you use jack pads underneath them. The sites are spaced fairly close together but no worse than in other parks. I did take a look at the laundry which was very clean. There are two restaurants (one menu, one buffet) on the grounds of the RV park/hotel and both are within an easy 5-minute walk. A free shuttle van will pick you up at your site and take you anywhere you want on the grounds. We ate at the buffet (Max & Thelma's) and although a bit pricey (remember, this IS a resort) it was very good. If you are going to be taking the train to the Grand Canyon I strongly suggest you pick up your tickets at the train depot (also on the grounds) the night before as there will be hundreds of people taking the train on the same day. About the only issue we had with the park was with their Wi-Fi. The service was up and down but we were told the tech was working on it. I would not want to spend more than a couple of nights in this park. While it is very clean and quiet (except for the occasional BNSF train that comes through), we prefer parks where we can sit outside at the picnic table or bar-b-que. But for a couple of nights you can't go wrong. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The park has large, paved, level sites with an indoor pool available. It was very cold for April when we were there. It is close to the Grand Canyon Railway site. It appeared to be a, relatively, new park and was well maintained. Just a bit over-priced. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Concrete, level pads were the only asset. We checked in and managed to set up the rig when a train went by. After a lost night of sleep in Grants N.M., I went over to the office to ask if this was a main line. The tracks were right next to the campground. The lady was honest and told me they run all night long, probably the same trains that run through Grants, N.M. I asked for a refund and they did give it to us. We left for the KOA along the road that leads to the Canyon. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Had access to pool at hotel as well as hot tub. Laundry room excellent. Bathrooms and showers very modern. Would recommend for those visiting the Canyon. Nice playground for children.

This is the best way to see the south rim. Walk to the train and leave the driving to someone else. We added a bus rim tour to our itinerary, which was great. This new park is very clean, fairly level and (in 5-10 years) should have some shade. Check in staff were very helpful. The shuttle system makes the short walk to the hotel even shorter.

This is a beautiful and excellent campground. We were in Site #221 and did not have a problem leveling our truck/camper.The sites all have concrete pads. The restrooms and laundry were clean, but not enough for size of this campground.There was one lady who had every washer and dryer tied up for hours. Friendly and helpful staff with, Irma in the office, going above board for us. We had made our reservation at the wrong campground and she helped us get it corrected. We will definitely stay here, again. We camped here in a Truck Camper.

We camped here in a motorhome so we could do the train ride to the canyon. Sites are paved and tend to run "downhill" towards the road so the coach had to be jacked up a lot more in front than usual. You must use a sewer hose support and jack pads. Site pads are fairly narrow with really nowhere to put out chairs or a table if you were going to sit out as its very coarse gravel between sites. Folks in the office are very nice and helpful with directions and park is about an hours drive to the canyon and 2 minutes to Williams and Old Route 66. No where to really walk your dog except on a path that goes around the park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We got a package deal for this RV park and the train ride to Grand Canyon, so I am not sure of the exact price per night, but it was a good deal. The park is fairly new, clean, paved, and level; however, it is basically a big parking lot. There is nothing scenic about it. The sites are wide enough, but still fairly close to your neighbor and there is no picnic table or patio. They did have W-IFI. The train ride was great. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a great park to ride the train and see the local sights for a few days. It is relatively new and very clean. Staff is helpful and a free shuttle is available. Wi-Fi works great. Make sure you have clear directions to the park from I-40. Very easy to miss the turn coming into town and recovery can be a hassle due to one way streets. Be sure to see the local Route 66 sights. Pine Country Cafe and Route 66 Cafe have good food and are fun. Relive a bygone era. Fuel is expensive so plan ahead. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here just after a huge snow storm, but all the roads and sites were cleared, so we actually enjoyed seeing all the snow. There were only about a dozen other RV’s there so we practically had the park all to ourselves. I’m not sure about the nightly rate because we got a great package deal which included the train ride to the Grand Canyon. The staff was friendly, and the facilities were very clean. The Wi-Fi was free and strong and there were lots of TV channels. We would definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Every once in a while something bad turns into something good. That was the case in my experience with this park. I had originally stopped at the Williams/Circle Pines KOA, but asked for a refund after their WiFi wasn't working well. Traveling just a bit further down the road, I happened upon this gem and was very glad that I changed. This park suited my needs perfectly. Big, open sites; good hookups; great scenery; friendly staff; interesting little town, etc. Plus, the rate was $13 cheaper than the KOA. As a bonus, it's only a 50 mile shot straight up an open, freshly paved highway right into Grand Canyon National Park. I have rarely (if ever) given a rating as high as a 9, but this park delivers in spades and receives my strong recommendation. Stay there. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a nice RV park. It has cable and WiFi. Spaces are sufficient in size. My only complaint is $5 a night for people over 2 and $5 a night for an extra small car. We have fifth wheel and truck. We were charged for our extra car. The wind is terrible here. Rock and roll all night. And the train comes through during the night and blasts the horn. But having said all that if you want to visit the Grand Canyon or take the train this is the best location to stay in. Office personnel are extremely pleasant and nice. You get a key for the restrooms and laundry. Restaurants in town are not much. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We bought a package deal including rail trip to Grand Canyon and 3 nights camping. Park is fully paved with wide level sites. Volcanic rock fills spaces between sites. Hookups were new and very well done. There are a few small trees but essentially no shade. There were no picnic tables, fire rings or another other amenities at our individual site. There is a restroom, shower, laundry facility centrally located which also has a large community fire pit, 4 barbecues, and picnic tables. Bathrooms were the finest I've ever seen at an RV park. Stone tile all around, tall shower heads, plenty of room, complimentary shampoo and soap, and perfectly clean. You may use the indoor pool at the hotel, but the pool is across the street and about a 500 yard walk from the center of the RV campground. The RV store is also across the street and about 300 yards from the center of the campground. For late check-ins, they just tape up a list and a map inside the window. It would have been nice if they left a few extra maps outside for late arrivals. The town of Williams is within walking/biking distance and was full of nice shops, restaurants, and wild west shows. The Grand Canyon Railroad is a great way to travel to the Grand Canyon and avoid driving the RV up the mountain. The staff are great but be prepared with plenty of tip money for car attendants on the way up and down plus music performers and the train robbers. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a great park and very friendly staff. It has everything a family would want. The restaurants at the resort are clean, serve good food and at reasonable prices. The pool is somewhat small for the size of the resort but it is indoors which is a plus for the colder months. The sites are paved, nice size and level. Trees are very young and do not offer much shade yet. The Grand Canyon Railway Train right at the resort is a huge benefit. The train ride to the south rim of the park is a fun experience and should not be missed if you stay at this resort. I would stay here again with no hesitation! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Great park when riding the train to the Grand Canyon. The only problem is if you check in late you can't get the access card to get into the restrooms and laundry area.

Wow, this place sets the standard for RV resort camping. The bathrooms are large and modern. The laundry room has 4 or 5 new washer/dryers. The sites are large and the park is well-kept. Their trees are still little, but it's the Southwest. The on-site restaurant, Max & Thelma's, has a wonderful buffet. We took the train up to Grand Canyon and it was a lot of fun. The RV park staff was very helpful to us, especially when my husband got sick; they helped us find a doctor, a pharmacy, a grocery and a cleaners willing to do all the laundry for me. The one downer would be the close proximity of the train. Our site literally backs up to the tracks(separated by a tall chainlink fence) so we hear the trains several times a day and once or twice at night. The first night it scared the kids, but since then they've been fine. I thought our neighbor's car alarm going off at 5am was much more bothersome. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We reserved this park in conjunction with the train ride to the Canyon. I reserved a pull-through spot, but when we got here, there were none available, so I had to back a 40 foot 5th wheel in - still not much of a problem with the large drives and sites. The campground is basically a parking lot, but has a central commons area with laundry, restrooms, gas grills, and picnic tables. The office has a small store and is about 100 yards away. RV campers get access to the hotel amenities, including a nice indoor pool/spa area. The hotel is walking distance, and their buffet is excellent. Train noise will wake you early, but I suspect all of Williams is affected by this. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Do not mistake this park with the Canyon Gateway RV Park as there is a huge difference. We were really disappointed when we arrived at Canyon Gateway as it was really dusty, the staff was grumpy and the sites weren't very nice (unless you want a view of the freeway). We were delighted when they informed us that we were at the wrong park! We were amazed at the difference once we arrived at Grand Canyon Railway. The staff was very helpful and the park was clean with well spaced sites. The bathhouse appeared new and was always spotless. It was a pretty long hike to the pool from our site. It is a small indoor pool designed for the hotel guests. Great location, friendly staff, group campfires, and clean facilities. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a new park, opened early 2007. The roads and pads are paved with rock in between sites. There is a playground for kids. There is also a pet "hotel" to leave the fur kids while riding the train. I went in and it was very clean, but did not use it since this was an overnight stay. Will probably leave the critter when we come back in October for a rally and train ride. This is a really nice park for an overnight stop or rally. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here because two nights came free with the Train Ticket to the Grand Canyon. We stayed additional nights and got discounts off those nights as well. We'd return because the Park is new, clean, and relatively easy to get in and out of. Confirm your directions because the routing requires a tight right turn into the street that passes the Hotel, then comes to the Store/Registration Office at the end of the block in back. The left-hand entrance into a spacious parking area for new arrivals is fine. Staff was very nice, however, if you've unhooked your tow, it doesn't hurt to take a quick drive across the street to your assigned site. The person who highlighted the route on our site map had us making a tight zig-zag turn that brought us unnecessarily close to protruding garbage dumpsters on a corner we had to negotiate. We assumed she had never personally driven that particular route in a similar rig so couldn't have appreciated how challenging it was and didn't have to be. When we asked a different staff person why we weren't shown a more direct way, he agreed with us he would have suggested the very route we later saw was ideal. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is an outstanding, new, park. It is part of a sight-seeing rail tour to Grand Canyon. The complex offers the train trip, excellent campground headquarters, kennel, restaurant, extra nice bath/shower/laundry facilities. The bathroom/laundry is entered with a motel-style key card. A courtesy phone inside links campers with the office, the free shuttle service, or emergency help. A lovely community fire pit, picnic shelter, and playground are family-friendly. Everything is clean and classy. Pads and access roads are paved. Decorative landscaping, trees, and rock are attractive. Some people might be bothered by a nearby freight train passing through town in then early morning hours. Lots are 30 feet wide. The campground is 55 miles from Grand Canyon National Park.

Excellent park for staying while taking the train. Brand new, spotless and spacious facilities, excellent management, nice town. Great to stay while you take the train or drive to the Canyon. Very kid/animal friendly. No shade, but nice views in all directions. Trains not bothersome - only 1-3 a night, but hours in between. This is not the line that goes through Flagstaff with 125 trains/day. Try Pancho McGuillicudy's on Main Street for very good Mexican food and atmosphere. The train was great. Avoid the $28/pp "Grand Rim Tour" - buses are old, dirty and sully the experience with diesel fumes. The train depot is right across from the free NPS shuttles on the park roads and you can easily find something to eat and avoid the "hot buffet" cafeteria that comes with the tour. Supermarket within walking distance, as is Main Street of Williams. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Great location and nice clean, new park. But check is very inconvenient and hard to find. Signage is almost non existent. Once you check in you are on your own there is no on site management or security that we were able to see. Thus, none of the park rules were enforced while we were at the park.

Very nice new park, in a few years when their trees grow, it will be much nicer. The pool and hot tub was in their adjoining hotel, but well worth the walk or drive to it. It was indoors and very nice for our daughter when it rained! They had a decent little game room upstairs from the pool. Their playground was near the park office, and it was excellent. The laundry and bathrooms and showers were all very clean. All the amenities made up for being in a "parking lot", especially if you have children. Also free wifi worked excellent.

This park was 4 weeks new when we stayed in April, 2006. It is still in the process of being completed. You can use the associated hotel pool and facilities. Free shuttle to hotel and train station otherwise, about a three block walk . Wide and paved big rig friendly spaces with first rate hook ups. Bathrooms and laundry facilities very clean. The park staff is also new and not that experienced. No security to speak of. No specific dog area to walk fido. The place is a bare parking lot with 5 gallon "trees" and lava rock between spaces. Nothing for children in park. This eventually will be a first rate park. It is a half baked cake at this point. In a year or so this will likely rate higher. We camped here in a Motorhome.

There are several RV Parks in Williams and all of them have gravel sites atop red mud and clay. When it rains, the red mud seeps up through the rock level and, in many areas of most campgrounds, the red clay is not well covered with rock. Much mud, dust, etc. This park is a new one and is the only one in Williams that is paved. It is big rig friendly, has long and wide sites, and many amenities. First class. Nothing better in Williams or Flagstaff. We camped here in a Motorhome.

If you are looking for amenities, then one of the other campgrounds in Williams would be better for you. However, if you are looking for a peaceful environment with lots of space between you and your neighbors then this is the place. Hosts were extremely friendly and helpful even as far as bringing firewood up to the site for us. We travel in a 45 footer and although the Forest Service web-site lists a 35 foot length limit, there were several sites that would accommodate us. No facilities, so load up the water tank, run the generator as necessary and enjoy. We arrived on a Thursday, managed to get a site, first come first served, and stayed over a very busy weekend when the campground was full. However because of the layout and our site location, we did not realize how busy it was. If this sounds appealing, give it a shot. If you cannot get in here are several other campgrounds in Williams that will probably have spaces available. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a great park, convenient to I-40, near enough to town, and on the highway to the Grand Canyon. The lady at the front desk was possibly the friendliest person we have encountered and without a doubt the most knowledgeable about the Grand Canyon. She gave us tips on things to do that we would have easily missed being first timers to the canyon. All the staff we encountered were just outstanding. The sites are level, long, with good power. Heck, they even have a free continental breakfast. We will definitely stay here again when we are in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We camped here during January. It was -8 overnight. Very desolate during the winter months. Lots of gravel and gravel sites. Very little shelter and open to the elements. Staff very friendly and helpful. No access to restaurants. Small shop on site with a few essentials. About 1 hrs. drive to the Grand Canyon from the RV Park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Great little campground that is family run. You can see their pride in the campground. Easy access in and out. The camp store was small with little to offer; however, Williams is a stone's throw and you will have no trouble finding what you need. Don't let the name fool you; although the Grand Canyon Railroad runs beside the campground there were no train noises after 6 PM. Far enough off the highway so that the truck noise is not an issue. They provide breakfast in the office daily from 8:00 - 10:00 AM. BONUS! The staff is friendly and helpful. We will return here any time we are near Williams, AZ! We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park is a bit rough, mainly because our spot had no picnic table (many didn't) and the gravel was pretty big rocks which was not comfortable for sitting out in with chairs, but office staff is very friendly and helpful. All gravel spots. It appeared that all spots were the same as ours except some had tables. We stayed for one week for Grand Canyon and route 66 tours. Would probably stay again.

Gravel sites, no concrete patios. Wide sites, street lights, fire hydrants appropriately placed throughout park. Even though they do not have large shade trees, there are trees throughout the park. Staff very friendly and wonderfully helpful. Made arrangements to go to Grand Canyon on the train through the park and they shuttled us to the depot and picked us up. Each time the train goes by the park, they are out there ringing a bell and waving. They have a breakfast every morning and this summer are opening a grill at the site. Would definitely stay there again and recommend it to anyone visiting the Grand Canyon area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here on our way to the Balloon Fest in Albuquerque. Really enjoyed the stay. The folks that run the camp go out of their way to make you feel at home. They are a lot of fun and what can I say about the free breakfast. From waffles, fruit, juices, cookies, to biscuits and gravy. I thought the sites were a good size with plenty of room for my 30ft 5er. Would I stay here again? Without a doubt. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is kind of a dumpy park, although the spaces are good sized and level with good utilities. However, the WiFi wasn't working when we arrived, but it was repaired within a few hours with good access to the internet. The park is located right next to the railroad facilities, but is less noisy than other RV parks (in different cities) located next to RR tracks since there was minimal train traffic. All in all, this is a better option, in our opinion, than any park we've stayed in Flagstaff (which is only 40 minutes away). When we stay in the area again, we will probably try a nicer RV park (and no doubt pay a little more), but we would stay here if there were no other reasonable options. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The rate is $30 + tax for cash or check. This reflects a 15% discount. Very nice at reception. There was a lot of information regarding the Grand Canyon and area. All the sites appear to be pull throughs. Sites are gravel and level. They have four washers/dryers. Dryers give you 45 minutes for $.50! What a bargain. Would definitely stay here again. We were here over the 4th, and they had a very nice BBQ, free unless you wanted to give a donation. They also offered free breakfasts! We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park was OK. Basically a parking lot with hook-ups. We spent most of our time at the canyon and not in the motorhome. Kids had fun watching the Grand Canyon train go by as it was towed in and out each day. It was OK for the two nights we were there, but I wouldn't want to stay there much longer.

This park was adequate for us for 5 nights. If you are looking for landscaping or paved sites, then this is not for you. Nice easy turns and good services. Some rough-looking seasonals. Close to the rodeo grounds and the RR crossing for the train to the Grand Canyon. Gravel roads and sites. Trees looked like they were bombed. Not a nice residential area but we never had any trouble. Visited the Grand Canyon, Sedona, and Williams while here. I would probably stay here again if I couldn't find anything more attractive. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Given some of the previous reviews, I must say I was a bit disappointed with this park. It is however probably one of the better ones in the Grand Canyon area that we saw. It is basically a gravel parking lot with hookups. The sites were close together and only a few had picnic tables. We wanted to grill but that is not allowed. They did have a BBQ on Saturday night and live music other nights and also a continental breakfast. Fortunately the train only went by a few times a day as it is very very loud. Once though, it did go by at about midnight. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We stayed 2 nights and used the middle day to tour the Grand Canyon. Wi-Fi, cable TV, sewer, water and electricity all worked well. I liked how the hook ups and lengths of pull-through sites made it easy to set-up. Sites were level: ground was wet during the day (Jan) from snow melt, but there was enough gravel on top of compacted dirt that I never had an issue. It feels soft but that is just the 2’’ of gravel giving way. The owner was friendly and answered all our questions. The campground is located on a Route 66 small town, so it is nestled in next to schools, apartments and housing areas. Not an issue for us. The owners warned me to turn off the water at night: based on my cold weather camping experience I ignored the warning and wrapped my second heat tape around the park's water pipe. For some reason the heat tape stopped working at night. The next day I tried to turn off the water and broke the handle. I offered to pay for the damages but the owner wouldn’t accept my money and said that my continued business and future stays are worth more than a $60 pipe they have in stock. We will definitely stay here again based on amenities, location, prices and customer satisfaction-oriented owners. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Overall not a bad place for a stopover. A few permanents throughout the park and as the previous poster stated it sits across the street from an apartment house and the park isn't fenced, but it appears security isn't an issue. Very level sites and the cable and the Wi-Fi worked great, also pet friendly. It didn't bother me but my wife wasn't real keen on the surroundings. Not sure if we would stay here again.

We’ve had the pleasure of staying at Railside RV Ranch three times now. We wanted a safe, convenient location in Williams away from the hustle and bustle of Flagstaff for our 38-foot motorhome while we explored the local attractions. We wanted comforts of home like free Wi-Fi at our site, great satellite TV and cell phone reception, strong water pressure, stable 50 amp electricity, and full hook-ups on this trip although park offers partial hook-up sites. The restrooms, showers, and laundry are immaculate (cleaned and stocked twice daily) and safe. Rates are comparable to other area RV parks, but it’s the aesthetics that sets it apart from the rest. Open all-year-round, the park’s shade trees encourage relaxation and rejuvenation. The great layout and spacious sites makes it easy to navigate a big rig around the Park. Unlike other parks graveled roads and gravel sites minimize dust. Some sites also have a concrete pad and picnic table. A favorite destination we’ll return to again and again! Conveniently situated on Route 66 between Chino Valley to the west, Flagstaff to the east, Grand Canyon to the north, and Camp Verde to the south. The park is 5 minutes from the Grand Canyon Railway Station, Dairy Queen, Safeway, restaurants, and banking and 20 minutes from Camping World at Belmont on I-40. Nearby attractions include the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, Bill Williams Mtn, Route 66, Flagstaff (all that a city has to offer!) and many Indian ruins. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice park in Williams AZ close to the RR station that has excursions into the Grand Canyon. Near I-40 but not too much noise. Not too many rigs here now as Fall is upon us. Sites are gravel with grassy area between. Grass is mostly brown: must be a water shortage. Check-in person was very friendly. Wi-Fi signal not very strong. ATT cell phone service is great.

The people working at this park are very friendly and helpful. They treat you almost like family. The friendly attitude alone rates a good rating. This place is close to downtown Williams, Grand Canyon Railroad, and about an hour drive from the South rim of the Grand Canyon. The restrooms, showers, and RV sites are kept very clean. Most sites are pull-through and easy to get into and out of. However, this is a gravel parking lot with few trees and a patch of grass around the utility stubs. All night you can hear the traffic from Interstate 40 and expect to hear the Train whistle blowing when it returns from the Canyon late at night. Our particular site was not level and the cable worked poorly. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a very nice site. The owners were extremely friendly and helpful. They purchased our train tickets to the Grand Canyon, helped us get discounts and offered a complimentary shuttle to the train station. When we returned in the evening, they even offered to return later with the shuttle so my family could stay and have dinner and saved us from having to return to the campsite and take the RV to dinner. The restrooms and showers were clean and comfortable. They loaned us a television cable, which, as fist time RV users, we hadn't thought about. The complimentary breakfast included a nice variety of foods. I would definitely recommend this campground. We camped here in a Motorhome.

In spring/summer, must be nice. No freeway noise. Very quiet area. Office staff helpful and polite. I would give higher marks, but this appeared to be a short stop, rather than a long stay.

We loved this RV Park the most of all seven different ones we stayed at on our trip from Ohio to Nevada. We called the night before the Friday of Labor Day weekend and the owner's told us they were full, but would put us in the overflow area for only $20. The site was excellent and we loved hearing the Grand Canyon Railroad whistle as the train pulled in. The owner actually ran an electric line and a cable line (but we had our own Dish Network) and we felt so welcome our entire stay of two nights. They had a Chuckwagon BBQ with a cowboy singer and a Rodeo movie that was just the most fun. We liked the friendliness of not only those that worked here, but the other campers who had been here before. There was a Rodeo and Labor Day Parade, and it was truly a wonderful experience on our first visit to the Grand Canyon. The owner and his wife helped us plan our itinerary and included discount tickets to not only the Rodeo but other attractions. We even went to a ranch and saw White Buffalo. Hopefully, when I retire in 6 years we will return and spend more time. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Gravel and rock sites with some trees providing decent shade. Mostly pull through sites, but the staff was helpful in getting us one of the back-in sites so that we could set up our portable fire ring and have one of the few picnic tables in the park. As the name implies, the park is bordered by train tracks on one side, but these are used by the local scenic railroads, which stop running shortly after dark. There seemed to be a lot of long term residents here with most of their sites well kept. Rest rooms and laundry facilities were clean when I checked for this review. Can't comment on the continental breakfast since we slept in every morning. After driving by a few other places in the area, this is probably the best deal you can find considering you actually get some shade and cable TV at no extra charge.

Everything is clean, the breakfast is a great affair and a nice meeting spot. While we were here they had a group come in and arranged a star gazing party with one of the people who works at the Lowell Observatory. Very Cool! The sites are very plain, but all are level and everything works. The Wifi signal is great throughout the park.

The most outstanding thing about this park is the people that own and operate it. They will bend over backwards to insure that you are satisfied with your camping experience in Williams. The "Continental Breakfast" (free) is beyond belief. The sites, although gravel, are level, no matter where you want to park in it. Unless you like parking in a parking lot, you can't find a better place anywhere. It's proximity to Williams allows you to walk to town easily. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Railside RV Ranch has outstanding people in the office. They quickly determined our interests and provided tour information in such an interesting way, that we are going to see other local attractions besides the obvious Grand Canyon. The park is perfectly situated; close to restaurants, other town services and the Grand Canyon access road. "Breakfast included" while RVing is a first for us. But the biggest plus for us was the "team" pitching in to fix my computers WiFi access problem that had kept me off of WiFi for months. When their own expertise in getting me connected was exceeded, they called their son, a computer whiz, who talked Mom thru a diagnostic process that discovered a bad file and they fixed it. Unbelievable!! They wouldn't accept an offer to pay for the computer repair service. Now that I'm online, I note the free Wifi has excellent signal strength because of multiple transmitters spaced through the park. From reading the other overwhelmingly positive reports on this site, it's very clear the people here really go an extra step to discover whatever each customer needs most and goes ahead and provides it way above and beyond the norm. We'll never stay anywhere else when returning to this area. Thank you, Railside RV Park!! We camped here in a Motorhome.

We have been lucky to R.V. through Europe for a year & now traveling through the states for 1&1/2 year. We are into our 7th month of our travels in the U.S. I am happy to say we rate Railside R.V.Ranch as one of the best campground we have visited throughout our travels in Europe & the states. The owners & the employees have gone above & beyond what we expect for their services. A very nice lady booked everything for our train trip,lodging & dinner for our visit to the Grand Canyon. I have a back injury & she took that into consideration with our reservations. Oh yes she even drove us to the train station took us inside & gave us a brief history lesson of the train station. She also picked us up. The location of the campground is perfect to see the Grand Canyon by train or on your own (which we did for another day), Sedona, Jerome, the Painted Desert, Sunset Crater a dormant volcano with wonderfullava flow scenery & historical pueblo ruins. Before we left for each sight they gave us great information to get there with side trips suggested. The most unique things we encountered is the campgrounds FREE breakfast & FREE WiFi at your site. We would come back again & recommend it to anyone. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We liked this park. It is 14 years old an well kept. They had Xmas decorations all over the place for the Grand Canyon Railways Polar Express trips. It was festive. The owner (wife) was VERY nice. They have a continental breakfast included that was great. Sites are good sized, gravel and reasonably level. Our site 8, backed up to the Grand Canyon Railway. The Polar express made 3 round trips that evening. It was a convenient drive to town. Would stay again for sure. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The people were very friendly. They made us feel like family. It was the best stay we have ever had in an RV campground. The continental breakfast was immense with loads of things to choose from. On Monday they had biscuits and hot gravy with sausage in it, no charge. Whenever we go up north, we will stay at the Railside RV Ranch. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this site for everyone. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

What can I say? It is nothing bad at all. The owners were great, the cookouts and movie were excellent, and the volunteers were extremely friendly. We stayed here for a little over 3 months. I don't think that you could find a nicer atmosphere anywhere else. They made us feel like family. The breakfast in the morning was great, the wi-fi is perfect and the sites are great. There is always something going on. The deck is always a blaze with laughter and conversation, and once the weather started getting a little colder they had fires at night. The owners and "volunteers" are extremely versed in the area, and they offer all kinds of discounts and help with directions wherever you want to go. Like I said what else can I say. This is definetley the best choice and the best choice if you are ever in Williams. We will always stay here. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Wow! This is the best way to describe the Railside Ranch. The volunteers are fabulous. They all go out of their way to make you feel at home! The sites are pull-through or back-in and they can accommodate big rigs. There is gravel down throughout the park with just a little red dirt showing on the sides of the sites. Arizona and New Mexico has such pretty coloring throughout the state because of the red dirt. The volunteers live at the Railside and help with many duties at the park. They also keep an eye out at the park. When someone’s awning goes down, the volunteers are the first to spot it and help out. They pull it back in and fix it up as best as they can. The Railside has a free deluxe continental breakfast every morning! On Friday nights, they show a free outdoor movie with free popcorn, lemonade and water. Saturday nights they have a free cookout, movie, popcorn, lemonade and water! Sometimes on Saturday afternoons before the cookout, there are outdoor music shows. This might be a band or a single person playing and singing. One time it was Kenny Rogers! The office has a small gift shop and rv supplies. The restrooms are very clean! They are cleaned twice a day. The laundry room is clean with 4 washers, 4 dryers and a deep sink. There is a game room next to the office. It has a tv for watching or video games. There is also a ping pong table, two computers, and a phone for local or 800 number use. Our boys had so much fun at the Railside that they did not want to leave! When it came time to leave for the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, Their oldest son warned us of the fire up there. We called and checked on the fire and decided not to go to the North Rim to be safe. They had NO problem what-so-ever with us staying another week! They will make reservations for the Grand Canyon Railway for you. They will even drive you over to the train station in the morning and pick you up in the evening when it comes in. The Railside is a great, family run rv park. They have done their homework and it shows! We will ALWAYS stay at the Railside. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We've stayed at Railside RV Ranch several times when passing through or staying in Willaims. The owners are great. They helped us make reservations for the train, which passes right by the campground each morning and evening. We also took a wonderful 4 wheel drive sunset tour of the Grand Canyon, with our reservations made by the campground. Railside has free wireless internet and cable TV. The campsites are level and large enough to accommodate our 35 ft 5th wheel. I would give them a 10, but for the fact that there are too many long time residents with run down RVs that are somewhat of an eyesore. We would not let that stop us from staying at Railside Ranch the next time we are in Williams. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Our entire group was very glad that we had picked this rv park to stay in. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this rv park to anyone who is planning a stay in Williams Arizona. Thank you to all the wonderful staff and especially Pat and Tamara for your help and and consideration to my entire family.

Words cannot describe or state about our stay here at the RAILSIDE RV Ranch. Owners, Pat & Tammara, along with their special volunteers, went out of their way to make sure we felt at home in every aspect. At no extra expense, we experienced nitely cookouts, movie with popcorn; and even some live music. Spaces are spacious and graveled; bathrooms, especially the showers, are the BEST we have seen during our vacation; and pet sitting was available if needed. Our train reservations were made during checkin, and there was also a shuttle to and from the depo. We really enjoyed our stay and will be returning. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

After reading the reviews, I was surprised when we first pulled up. It was not as I had envisioned, but there are a couple of sure things. The folks are friendly and helpful. They showed movies outside and gave everyone popcorn. They made the train reservations for us. They hauled us to and from the train. And if you want to see the going and comings of all The Grand Canyon Railroad equipment, then this is the place to be. The train(s) have to pass directly by this place to go anywhere. We enjoyed ourselves in Williams, but none of the parks here are what I would call picturesque. And there are a bunch of parks here with very similar names, so be careful and don't end up in the wrong one. And the WIFI is fast and works well. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The rally was a complete success thanks to the caring and sharing attitude of the owners.

Great RV facility, with a super friendly and efficient family running the park; and a wonderful staff. Long, level, gravel sites with views of the surrounding mountains. Many sites already have 50 amp, and all sites will soon have 50 amp. Easy access (about a mile) from I-40; you can see the interstate from the c/g, however, no road noise. If you use AZ exit 165 from I-40, you'll cross the Grand Canyon Railway tracks on Rodeo Rd, just before turning into the park. Super free WiFi, and if you really need a swimming pool, there is an aquatic center in town. Downtown Williams, and the Train Depot, is just a mile away. Williams and Railside RV Ranch are a great place to stay while exploring northern Arizona. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Great campground in a great little town. We were with a large group, and everything was arranged for us: breakfast, suppers, train ride to the Canyon, trip to Sedona, and anything else that any of us wanted to do. They have a wonderful dog walking service, if your going to be gone for the day. The sites are now gravel, helping to keep the high desert dust down. This is the RAILSIDE RV Ranch, not to be confused with another campground in the area with a very similar name. Railside RV is right beside the Grand Canyon RR tracks, where you get to watch a train load of happy passengers going to and coming from the Grand Canyon each day. Managers and helpers were absolutely the best. We would definitely stay at Railside again whenever we're in the superb area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

They gave us great recommendations of things to see and do. Bathrooms and showers were clean, clean, clean. Hi-speed wireless worked great, and cell phone service at full power. Good selection of restaurants in town, and also a Safeway market. The train goes by at 10am, and everyone goes outside to wave! And no early morning train whistle! We checked out the campgrounds on the road to Grand Canyon, and nothing was as nice, clean or reasonable. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

A great base to explore the Grand Canyon & northern Arizona area. All sites are gravel and very level. Great free WiFi. Good free continental breakfast. Tammera and Pat, who own and run the park, are extremely personable and very knowledgeable about the area, and can offer good suggestions. Very few extended stay guests. Park is 15 years old, and the Birch trees at most sites planted then are now about 15ft tall and were just starting to leaf out when we left. Just 4 washers and dryers in the laundry, so it can get congested. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Front desk was very helpful, ordered my Grand Canyon train and tour tickets for me, all I had to do was pick them up. The park is average but it does have WiFi which was a big plus. They provide a simple continental breakfast in the morning. We were there during a major snow storm, and their pipes froze. They don't open their office until 8:30 am which I feel is a little too late. I thought it was nice that their help stepped outside the door to wave at the Grand Canyon train as it passed by the resort. You do hear alot of train horns at night but that is to be expected since you are near so many train tracks. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Excellent park with a beautiful view in a beautiful setting. I would stay at this CG in the future to ride the train, on Saturday nights during the summer the campground does a free BBQ dinner for anyone in the park, hamburgers, hot dogs, chips and water melon, plus they run a free movie in their outdoor theatre. Just beware this park is very water conservative! (I understand they are in a severe draught) I got quite a tongue lashing for using a half gallon of water to wash 1200 miles worth of bugs off my windshield. Despite that I do recomend this RV park.

This is a great RV park if you are a train enthusiast. The Grand Canyon Railroad runs only 100' from the park, and there is a lot of opportunity to see the vintage train close up. If you are not a train enthusiast, then the 4:00 A.M. train whistle outside your window might not be so fun. Parents should be aware that there is no fence between the tracks and the park, so children need to be watched closely! Other than that, a straight-forward park, pretty well maintained.

This park is a little rough around the edges. The couple who own it are very friendly and they accept AARP for discounts. Interior roads are mostly gravel. Sites are adequate although not what I would call spacious. They are a strange combination of a red clay-like material and stone. It looks as if they have not yet finished spreading stone on all the sites and the stone that is in place is very soft. They offer discounts on a few area restaurants and you can buy tickets at the office for the railroad ride to the Grand Canyon leaving from a station about one mile away. It was OK for a night or two to go up and see the Canyon, but it's not a place I would rush back to. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park is, in our opinion, the only park in Williams. It is the friendliest, most comfortable park we have visited over the past 8 years. We first stopped here for an overnight 4 years ago and immediately fell in love with the owners and their very friendly RV park. Then we realized how comfortable the entire area was. We are fulltimers from Florida but spend several weeks a year at this park, and will continue to do so when in the West. In fact, these owners are like family and we always feel we're coming home when we drive in. Also, a recent plus is the introduction of free wireless, highspeed internet service which makes this our park of choice. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We love this campground. It is a regular stop on our yearly business trip to Las Vegas. It is along the Grand Canyon Railroad and you can see the antique train cars going to and from the Grand Canyon daily. Phone hookup, cable, all hookups. It is a bit dusty, but everything is. We stay in mid January to early Febuary. It is very easy access to the interstate and clean as can be! I understand that during the summer they have great activities for children. Going back out to Vegas for the floorcovering show in a few weeks, looking forward to the Williams stop. Take the train to the Grand Canyon, if you are able. We camped here in a Motorhome.

When they say "Circle Pines" the really mean it. The Campground sites are configured in circular rings with lots of mature pines. We were in a very nice site which was a long gravel and level pull-through with length enough for our car and plenty of room on the sides for relaxing outside. Our site (#100) was in the outer ring looking out into the forest which was a nice area of the campground as it was toward the back. This muted a lot of the noise from 1-40 which is close by and could be irritating if in the front section. The staff is very helpful and friendly. We stayed here for 2 days visiting Grand Canyon which is about an hour drive. We like the town of Williams because it is on Old Rt. 66 and close to the RV Park. Although there are several other parks nearby, we have found this to be the best one. I would rate it a "9" except they do not have cable and it is a little on the noisy side. If we ever come back this way, would choose this KOA again, We camped here in a Motorhome.

This campground was well maintained. It is an older KOA but they do keep up on it. They were doing some renovations while we were here. We had never stayed in a camping cabin before, we usually have our travel trailer. This was a new experience for us. I don't think I will do it again. I like having my own place. This was kind of like tent camping with walls. Very rustic. It was however exactly what they said it was. The people at the front desk were polite but not too friendly. I felt as though I was interrupting them when asking a question or when I checked in. Others working here and the maintenance staff were friendly. We camped here in a Campground Cabin.

This KOA is great, the sites were large and there was plenty of room between sites. The people were friendly and very helpful. The only complaint was that when outside you could hear the traffic from I-40, inside our trailer we could not. We would stay there again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

If you want a well organized park in a pine forest this is your place. Circular layout with fairly large sites. The roads and sites are rock-gravel. The park is about 3 miles from the Route 66 town of Williams. This is a place with about 5 restaurants and 10 route 66 kitchen shops. But also a newish Safeway and where the railroad goes to the Grand Canyon. Very nice inside pool. Doggy poop bags in appropriate areas. Slow service at reception. This park is noisy. Truck and train noise. But if you want the park with the prettiest site in the area this is the one. Bearizona a nice little animal park within five minutes of RV park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Since it was November, it wasn't very full and the staff spaced people throughout the park. Each space has a picnic table and fire ring and they had heaters on their water stand pipes (great since it got down to 14 degrees). Easy access within park and to your site and wide internal roads. Access to forest service roads from the park. Bathrooms were immaculate! Has an off the leash dog park with some dog agility equipment. Very nice KOA and highly recommend it! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We base camped here for a week in October. The park is on old route 66 (it dead ends 1/4 mile east of park). Site was level. Nice shade and sites not too close together. We had 5 empty spaces around most of the time. Staff was very friendly. We phoned 2 days ahead to see if we could come early..no problem. Yes KOA's are on the high side, but the satisfaction of a great stay is worth it. We will be back. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This Park is easy to get to from the Freeway, with good driveways and long sites. Built on a hill, but sites are amazingly level. Tall pines all over and trimmed high for big rigs. The only problem is water has to be trucked in. Showers are really good, but you have to keep pushing a button to get water. It only comes on for 5 seconds at a time! Indoor heated pool is nice. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a well located RV Park just outside the road to the Grand Canyon. It is 58 miles to the Grand Canyon. This park has many pine trees but they also block any satellite reception and they don't offer cable. Hope you have a DVR! They offer a clean laundry but it's $2.00 to wash a load and $1.00 to dry. They also have an inside pool. The rate I listed was with a discount and tax. Seems like a lot but all the parks near the canyon are high. We had full hookups. We camped here in a Motorhome.

It was easy to find, and by far the prettiest RV park that we saw in the Williams area (lots of trees). We made our reservations by phone just two weeks ahead, and were able to reserve two adjacent sites, one for us, and one for my husband's parents. It was pretty full on the weekends, but not crowded during the week. It is very centrally located for day trips to the Grand Canyon, Flagstaff, Oak Creek Canyon, Sedona as well as Meteor Crater which was actually only about an hour away. My only complaint was that there isn't much room around each actual campsite for kids to play, and all the campsites are directly next to the driveways. We have four kids between 3 and 8 years of age. That said, there are plenty of kid-friendly activities and room to play if you venture away from your campsite. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The laundry facility was clean with 6 washers and dryers that were reasonably priced ($2 per wash load, $1.00 for 30 minutes of dry time). The store was pricey for things like milk ($5 for 1/2 gallon), but they actually had great prices on t-shirts, hats etc. They also have a restaurant, and will deliver pizza to your site (great on an evening arrival!) And you're only an exit away from downtown Williams and a real grocery store. There were fire restrictions the first two nights we were there, but they were lifted after a heavy rain storm. The whole campsite is covered in gravel, which actually is great in monsoon season, keeping it from getting mucky with the downpours. I would camp here again in a heartbeat. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Highway noise all night, pricey ($56.96 w/tax), compact uneven sites on slope, dusty gravel covered sites and un-friendly. You wonder if they want your business, one particular woman should not be in the service oriented business. I do not recommend this park to any. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Park was typical KOA. We've stayed here twice. Family oriented, things for the kids, events/ activities planned during busy season. Sites were fine, but can get a little beat up. Bathrooms and showers are always in need of cleaning. They get so many people in and out that I think it is difficult to keep up with. Complaints are usually dealt with in a timely manner. Unsupervised kids can sometimes be a problem. Sites are shady and fairly level. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The campground is in the pine trees, so it was a beautiful location to stay while visiting the Grand Canyon. The friendly staff made us feel welcome and helped direct us to the local sights. Although we were in a motorhome, we took a look at the cute cabins they have. They will be perfect when we come back with friends that don't have an RV. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Our experience @ Circle Pines KOA did not warrant a return visit. We had heard bad things about KOA's in Arizona and Circle Pines pretty much confirmed most of it. This place is not anything special. Is this place for sale? We saw a real-estate sign and wondered if that might explain our experience with this place. The woman that helped check us in didn't explain anything - nothing about the amenities of the KOA, the activities -- NOTHING! I overheard some of the other staff going over everything with the other people that were checking in, but our boring blah woman said nothing. When I asked her about the activities/amenities, she gave me the shortest answers possible to just get rid of me. We were so unfortunate to always get this woman again and again every time we went back into that store/office. It made for a terrible impression about customer service at this place. We also went into the store once after it had rained a lot and our spot was slippery and muddy. We were hoping we could move to a less muddy spot. The KOA manager quickly disappeared as soon as she heard us mention that we wanted to move - like she didn't want to deal with us - and again left us to have to deal with the awful customer service lady that, of course, said they were full and couldn't move us and explained it in as few words as possible hoping to get rid of us. In addition to awful customer service, this KOA is right off Interstate 40 and right near train tracks, so you hear the freeway traffic "ALL THE TIME" and the trains aren't too bad, but you do hear their horns. Plus this place seems old and buildings seem run-down. The playground equipment is neglected and the sandbox is more like a dirt and weed pit. No one enforces the rules regarding young children running around by themselves, so you end up with some pretty scary teens running around intimidating the younger children, jumping around and abusing all the playground equipment that is obviously meant for younger children and of course, no parents anywhere in sight to correct the out-of-control teens. I took my toddlers to the playground and literally stood in between them and some out-of-control teens that were throwing the swings around with all their might for fear that one of the swings might break off and go flying toward my children. These kids were fighting and abusing the playground equipment and staff just walked by and said nothing. Meanwhile parents were nowhere to be found. This is not completely the KOA's fault, but I'm sure there are some parents that love coming to this place because they know that none of the staff will say anything and they can just cut their little monsters loose to go terrorize the place and give them peace. If the parents knew that the KOA had a no tolerance policy for this sort of thing, they wouldn't let their kids run wild for others to take care of and to terrorize other guests. If most KOA's are like this one, we're really not interested in staying at a KOA anytime in the near future and definitely not interested in returning to Circle Pines. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

We stayed at this park for 4 days while visiting the Grand Canyon/Northern AZ area. As one can imagine, this is a very busy park. All sites are gravel/dirt and reasonably level. Our site was quite small. By the time we got our trailer positioned between the trees so we could open the awning, we didn't have any space left to park our truck. Most sites were quite close together. Our neighbor's fire ring was about 5 ft from our trailer. The indoor pool is always busy and there are plenty of activities for kids. They had good Wi-Fi, but we were less than 100 ft from the antenna. They could use more shower/restroom facilities as there was a line for the showers most mornings. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a nice park located in the middle of a stand of pine trees with a very accommodating and friendly staff who escort you to your site. The parks attraction for us was the location near Grand Canyon. This is a family oriented park with lots of activities so expect a lot of kids around. There is an indoor heated pool. The sites are OK and the whole park is surfaced with the red cinder material so common to this area. We find KOA’s to be priced higher than most other parks but usually provide nice clean and secure accommodations. Due to a water shortage the showers operate a little strange. It requires you to press a handle over and over again to keep the water flowing. This park has a secure wireless internet connection. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

If you own dogs, this is the place! We have a lab and boxer and they love the water. The KOA is close to two lakes. The staff was friendly and helpful. They gave us a number of tips on what to do during our stay. We had a great time. The showers were some of the best I've ever used. The sites were ok (not perfectly level), but the entire camping experience was excellent. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Overall a quite nice stopover. Staff was very friendly and helpful. All sites had a table, drawbacks, no cable and the pullthru we were in was very unlevel. I had to unhook from the tv and move it to allow the front of the FW to lower so we could be level. Other than that a little hiway noise but livable. Lots of trees, we would stay again, I would just make sure I was in a better site. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

A nice park among the trees located on a slope above I-40. Easy to find with helpful staff to guide you to your site. Our site was just wide enough for the slide and table but am glad no one was next to us. Many of the sites have been terraced but are far from level. With blocks our rear wheels were off the ground. Our site was located on the far side away from the freeway but the commercial truck traffic was a constant drone all night long. Also the main east/west railroad corridor for freight runs through the valley where the whistle sound travels throughout the quiet park. Glad we were not in a tent. The park is family friendly with many activities to keep them busy. As a stop on the way our destination this location works well. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The very large staff were working very hard to keep up and improve the campground. A new restroom was just built by the Cabins. The pool was clean enclosed and warm and the two spas were clean and hot. Sites are shaded by full grown trees, and all spots were fresh gravel and level. The staff were helpful, and were knowledgeable of the area. We were traveling as a group with two motorhomes and a camping cabin. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I thought the park cost a little to much for just water and electric. The staff was friendly and helpful. The spot where we were to have was taken, with full hook-up and took a while to figure what to do. They put us in a slot with only water and electric, since that was the only ones they had left. The pool and hot tub wasn't too clean. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Very rustic and family oriented KOA. In fact, this is the first KOA we have ever stayed at. Would rate it higher but for $48, would expect a lot more for that type of money, such as cable TV, WiFi and paved sites. A lot to do however and a great staff. Movies at night for the family, hayrides, mini golf, indoor pool and spa, well stocked store, souveniers, game room, etc. Would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a nice park with a friendly staff. The campsite we stayed in was gravel and dirt, no concrete pads. There was plenty of room for our 33 footer and towed vehicle in the pull-through space. A picnic table and rock fire ring were provided at each site. It was close to a 10 except the games in the game room were all broken. The laundry room was immaculate. The tent and Kabin area is set aside away from the pull-through sites and we had no noise problems at all. Watch out for skunks at night. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I agree with the above rating, it's adequate. The grounds are mainly dirt. The pool is indoor, but I found it to be quite dirty most of the time. My biggest issue was with the attitude of the staff. We were on a full service site and management actually put a bunch of cussing lowlifes beside us. There must have been four couples with a total of 12 kids who were all over the place. There was a pop-up, and two tents all on one site. The next morning we heard them talking on a cell phone in their trailer, and were instructing others how to get to their site and avoid the front office. We warned the front office and guess what!!!!! By the end of the day there were 4 MORE people there, they were partially parked on the road and our site. These guys slept in the back of their pick-ups. We left early. We
did get a refund for the last two days, but it does put a damper on your trip. I think management shouldn't use such bad judgement in placing their guests. Maybe they were scared of that bunch themselves, but that certainly doesn't say much for security in my book. I think security is a very important issue in RV parks. We camped here in a camper.
