Grand Canyon-Williams KOA

Even though we had been camping on this road trip and had our gear in the car, we elected to stay in one of the camping cabins at the Williams KOA and it was quite a treat. Even in the late summer, it can get cool in the evening, so we were thankful for the extra shelter. After dinner by the campfire ring, we went to bed and awoke the next morning to take the little Williams train into the South Rim where we hiked for a couple of miles with our 4-year-old. She did surprisingly well, and it ended being a great little short stay at the GC.

Great Basecamp for Grand Canyon Exploration

We stayed here after we visited Zion National Park. This was the closest campground to the park that had spots available. It was definitely further than one would imagine considering it is called the Grand Canyon Koa. The facility had lots of amenities,  pool, showers, movies, restaurant, etc. However the sites were WAY to close together offering zero privacy and really making you feel cramped. The people were accommodating and the facilities well kept but I will definitely be searching for a more secluded location next time. Great if you have kids and want to have all kinds of this to keep them busy.

Grand Canyon Koa 

This place is jam packed and probably the farthest you can get away from the Grand Canyon but still be called 'Grand Canyon'. It is a KOA so I wasn't expecting anything amazing but you are like on top of the tent next to yours. If I were you I wouldn't go here but rather check if TenX has any space. 

Packed

It was a smaller KOA camp than most. But there were only a few people there in the middle of November, which made it nice for feeling “away” from the world and not having to wait for bathrooms. Any where that’s not inside is great, but it was more of a high desert terrain than woodlands like I was hoping, however that was my error for not looking into it more. They provide a small heater for the cabins, so if you go during the winter season be sure to bring warm clothes and warm blankets! Clean, and friendly facility, nice bathrooms. 

Small But Cozy

Bathroom/showers were very unkept and dirty. The Koa is close to the Grand Canyon and Route 66 through Williams. 

In a great location, but bathroom/showers need more upkeep. 

Stayed in one of the cabins here with kids. Was well maintained, but overall quite dusty. KOAs are nothing if not predictable. Twin Bunk Beds, one queen bed, bare light bulb, front porch. There were RV sites as well.

  

Great jumping off point to get to Grand Canyon as it is a little bit North out of the town of Williams. Also easy to get to Williams to have dinner, etc...

KOA is always a solid choice...

The camper cabins were a warm and welcome abode after roughing it boondocking for a while. Showers and bathrooms were clean and the cabins were pet friendly. 

Great spot near Grand Canyon

This spot was a classic koa. 
Well kept with plenty of amenities.

Gravel spots with full hookup.

It is 1 hr from the Grand Canyon.
Would return but it wasn’t anything super special.

It was nice

Great place for sure to explore the Grand Canyon it’s right at the heart you also can take the train for the little polar express during winter time. KOA have everything in general, great place for family , pool, , playgrounds, full hook ups good size RV parks laundry room showers and everything else they have available here really a great place to come with the family

Great place 

Our drive-thru site was easily accessible but I was surprised to find that the sites do not have sewer lines. You can dump on your way out. Oddly I have cell service at the entrance but not at our site and while the facility does offer WiFi it is pretty much nonfunctioning due to the speeds being so slow. The facility is clean and convenient to our travels, cross country trek (FL to CA) and visiting the Grand Canyon on this two day stop along the way,

Basic but clean

Had all of the amenities. Friendly staff. Flat sites. Clean water. Clean bathrooms. Laundry room. Rec room. Camp store. Coffee, wood, ice and gas all available. Quiet. Beautiful stars at night. 

Great campsite close to the south rim 

The campground is exactly what a person would expect from the KOA brand. If you are traveling with a family and it’s your first time tent camping, this will make your experience enjoyable. There is a KOA store but it has business hours. Luckily there is a gas station that is walking distance. Pool and spa were nice. Bathrooms were clean. 

The only downside is the noise from the highway. Oh, cell service is not good. You’ll have to rely on their Wi-Fi.
