The Grand Canyon is amazing for 30 min, until it all starts looking the same. So visit the different stops and check out the rock structures and the history! Take the Williams Grand Canyon Railway for a special treat, especially during the Christmas Polar Express. Get matching PJ'S for your family! Book ahead, it gets sold out.

Class C 23 ft. This, to me, is the best choice for Williams Az. Only 6 miles to I-40 and town. Prices for groceries is very high, so be prepared for the ckout. This KOA is much larger than it looks, very quiet at night, views of hills all around plus sunsets. Has a nice reception building with ice creams, wine and odds and end gifts. The work campers were very helpful and accommodating. The spaces were wide on the passenger side but just enough space for a slide out on the other. Trees on some of the average priced sights, the many tent sights were well covered as well as the highest priced sites. A chevron station is right at the entrance with normal gas station selections and a large, native american jewelry section included. Easy walk. Campground prices, like most, have increased but better than others.

Whoever the older lady was who was running the register in the store, the day we left, needs a course in customer service or at least re-evaluate the attitude she expresses to customers. I didn't anticipate her greeting to the members of my family to begin with "what do you want..." every purchase. No thank you or anything. And we spent a fair amount in the store. What an unappreciative grump...plus the sites were NOT worth the close to $90 a night. On the positive, The guy who advised us on the propane at Loves was helpful and personable...

Snagged a nice deluxe cabin for a night so we could go visit the Grand Canyon, watch the sunset, and go back to stay a little closer to the highway we'd need to get to the next morning. When we stay at KOA, we normally don't go for the deluxe and stay in a simple cabin or have our trailer, so this was fun to stay with our kids. It was clean, comfortable, and the loft and bunks were fun for our kids to pick a place they wanted to sleep. The staff was so friendly and helpful. Sometimes we don't mind a little glamping. The store was filled with fun stuff to shop for and we enjoyed buying a Chai and cocoa at the coffee bar before we left.
