LegendRV or tiny homes…this place is AMAZING. We were in the RV side very clean, level elite back in with a concrete patio. Picnic table AND propane fire pit provided. The clubhouse has a bar and grill with a GIANT patio, live music, a store, heated pool and spa, a large game lawn and trails behind. Backs up to a national forest. Bathrooms and laundry clean and convenient. Well organized and friendly staff. Cons: trains in the distance and some interstate noise but that’s to be expected. The camp is NOT right up on the interstate you just can see it from various sections of the camp. We only had one neighbor at our site since it was on the end which was nice. Would DEFINITELY stay again.
TravelerVery clean and orderly campground, sites can vary is shape size and fitment . But most are shaded. Very nice tent areas, frequent trains but with no train horns(great background noise) . The roads in the campground are very confusing , arrive with daylight to spare and walk to you site before you try to turn down any roads. Fairly level dirt sites. WiFi is decent but a pay per service and you need browser access.
GuideGreat campground. Helpful friendly staff. There is access to some great trails right behind the park. Sites are descent size but definitely not level but that is an easy fix. WiFi is not good so if you need to get work done or the kids need to zoom it may be difficult. Only downside was the inconsiderate neighbors with barking dogs left in the trailer while they were out and the Karen in the spot next to us asking us to turn down the music in our trailer at noon(yes noon)
GuideSpacious and comfortable, not overly busy. WiFi available at the general store, but it’s usually very busy so not as useful as you might like. Was able to get cell service also at general store, and nearby at the village and on Bright Angel Trail. Showers clean and functional, laundry machines available.
Nearby to stunning views, conveniences, and short drives from amazing overlooks. Well worth the stay.
ScoutPros: bathrooms with flushing toilets are pretty close to all sites and always had soap and TP; washing sink for dishes right outside the bathrooms to cut down on disposable product waste; drinking water stations at multiple locations; had showers & laundry available; check in was easy and staff was incredibly friendly & helpful with finding us a level campground for our rooftop tent; plenty of trees for hammocks and hanging shower bags if you have one; campsite located within the park and you can get multiple good views of the canyon from under an hour away. they also had a free shuttle; campfire rings with grates to cook food and SMORES!!
Cons: campsites pretty close together; showers cost $2.50 for 5 mins run time (quarters only, change machine on site); only ~20 showers (10 mens room, 10 womens room) in 1 location (could be 1+ mile round trip to walk to them depending on site location) for the whole park, we didn't have any problems but it could be; showers weren't as clean as other facilities considering they're paid for; showers also not 24/7 which sucks for night owls like my husband and I who prefer to shower right before bed
GuideWe were only there for one night but the campground was clean and very well maintained. The office staff was very professional and made sure we knew exactly how to get to our reserved site. There is a restaurant on site that serves breakfast and lunch but they are closed Tuesdays so we can’t rate them since that was the day we were there. We had site 5, with full hookups and it had a small fence barrier to the roadway, which gave us some privacy from those walking or driving through the campground. The office and small store/restaurant was a very short walk away. Our site was also across the street from a small fenced doggy play yard, bathrooms and laundry facilities. We’ll definitely stay here in the future! It cost a bit more than other camp sites, but we was still glad we stayed there.
TravelerWe stayed at this campground for two nights in September. Checking in was easy, informative and we also got a detailed map of the campground. Bathroom and drinking water is close by and every bathroom has an outdoor sink for washing dishes and animal proof trash cans. Campsites are nice, clean and big, every one of them has a picnic table and designated campfire. There is a campsite host on site 24/7. We had a nice, quet stay at this campground, and if you're lucky you'll see deer/elk early in the morning around your tent eating breakfast :)
LegendCampground Review
The Flagstaff KOA is a great place to stay! And a great jumping-off-point to fabulous destinations. We were visiting the Grand Canyon from Phoenix, so we were able to make it to the campground in about 2 hours (leaving after work) and then drive to and from the Grand Canyon the next day, since it is only an hour drive from there.
The sites are pretty close together, but that didn’t really matter staying in our campervan. We had all the space we needed. I especially loved the very clean bathrooms! Flushing toilets and free showers (with attached changing stalls) made for a very comfortable trip.
Our kid’s favorite was the Jumping Pillow. It is this huge inflatable thing that the kids can jump all over and they wanted to do that constantly. Super fun and easy entertainment.
There was also a large playground and little go-kart style bicycles the kids could rent.
Our stay was really great and I highly recommend the Flagstaff KOA!
Product Review
As a Ranger for The Dyrt, I get to test products from time to time. Escape Campervans allowed me and my family to take our their Maverick van for the weekend. Let me give you all the details:
First of all, we LOVED traveling in this campervan!! Driving in and of itself was wonderful. The back bench is very spacious, so our three kids in car seats/boosters had plenty of space. I loved the huge passenger seat and could really spread out while we drove. The van was easy to handle and easy to maneuver. Even on little dirt roads and tight turns we had plenty of space (very unlike an RV).
Once we got to our campsite, it was dark out and 9 o’clock at night. All the kids had fallen asleep on the drive. Normally this would be a huge pain, having to pitch our tents and unpack the cots and sleeping bags, and pack n’ play etc. But we just pulled into our spot (these vans can park in tent sites too!) and my husband got out and popped the rooftop sleeper (takes 30 sec. to do), we shuffled the kids up top while I unfolded the inside bed. Took us just a few minutes to get both beds up and ready to go. The kids were nestled into their beds in no time.
My 4 year old daughter and I slept in the inside bed together, with my 1 year old son in a little pop-up baby tent at the foot of the bed. My husband and 5 year old son slept in the rooftop sleeper. Everyone was warm despite the 35 degree nighttime temperature, and everyone slept through the night (a FIRST for this family while camping!!).
The back doors open to reveal a complete camp kitchen, with pump sink, propane stove, all the utensils, prep surface, solar powered fridge and plates/cups. We cooked up some homemade fajitas with steak strips and peppers on the stovetop and it worked fabulously. We literally just pulled off to the side of the road in Grand Canyon National Park and made this delicious lunch. The kids ran and played in the trees while I cooked. It was a special moment.
I really can’t say enough good about the experience. We can’t wait to rent one again. It made this trip so easy. Some things you don’t even think about, like how we all needed to change clothes at the Grand Canyon. We just shut the curtains and were able to do that in a busy parking lot. In our minivan -- that would not have happened.
Tons of storage space, smooth ride, comfortable sleeping, large back bench. Great. Trip.

GuideWe spent two nights back in end of May in our campervan and it was the perfect camping experience. Bathrooms were scattered around the campsite and close by. Showers were hot located at the main office with laundry, all coin operated. Elk were at the water station which was so cool! We had our own fire pit and picnic table. FYI if you travel in May- pack warm clothes for nighttime. It dropped into the 40s at night outside and we were very cold. Also the general store was a couple min drive away, great selection of merch and groceries. The butcher has great quality meat for sale, the burgers were amazing. Starbucks is in the lodge next door for a special treat :) There’s also a free shuttle service from the camp to different lookouts/trails around the Grand Canyon
