ScoutEverything you need is at the KOA and if it isn’t, it’s near by. There’s also access to Mount Elden/Fat Man’s Loop trails in the Coconino National Forest from the park. Kids also have activities available to them at the park, including an inflatable inground trampoline. Staff is friendly and welcoming. Roads are narrow but I’ve seen big rigs maneuver them without too much trouble. Sites are close together but that’s expected with most RV parks. Definitely staying here again!
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.
TravelerMormon Lake is an astonishing campground: all in alpine forests, at about 6500’. Mild summer, with cool nights, many escape the heat of PHX up here.
Many 30/50 amp full-hook up sites, with a laundry and shower room( though, this time, the showers were closed for repairs.
Mormon Lake is a huge natural flat spot in the Coconino National Forest, that even when full, might only be 5’ feet deep.
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.
RangerThis KOA is very clean and has ton's of amenities on site, very nice showers and bathrooms, some of the amenities are mini golf, pan for gems, trails, go karts, peddle cars, playground, laundry room, store,small arcade, just to name a few, not all the amenities are free. Close to Williams,AZ one exit away, also close to Bearizona, Grand Canyon, Deer farm. They have everything from campsites that are primitive to a full group cabin to rent and everything in between.
During our stay we rented a 4 person cabin, while other family members that we were there to camp with had a pull thru spot for there 5th wheel.
Our cabin has a queen size bed and a bunk bed, the room had a TV, picnic table. fire pit, swinging porch bench, and a heater, the rest rooms where a quick minute walk away.
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)
RangerI didn't stay at the campground because I prefer to camp alone. There are lots of dispersed camping along the first road 295 (which leads up to Knoll Lake). Coconino National Forest allows camping up to 300ft from the road. According to the rangers, bears are active in the area so it's important to follow the safety protocols. Spent the day on the lake which is well worth the extra drive to avoid the crowds at Woods Canyon. Found one spot with cell service where you turn off fr300 towards Knoll Lake.
TravelerBecause they book so many people in the tent section, the toilets are overtaxed. This causes them to overflow. And because they have so few staffers, the problem is not resolved for many hours. This could be a nice place to stay if they weren't so interested in cramming people in. Instead we now go 18 miles up the road to the Bonita Campground, operated by the Coconino National Forest, which is cheaper, utterly clean, quiet and delightful.
ScoutTheir resort is the best one for the money. Their bathrooms are designed for UNISEX so it is no gender issue and nice place to shower, etc. where the laundromats are in several spots.
It has nice path for people to hike, fish, or explore in the wood.
The pool area is nice for toddlers with all cool features to play, heated pool and spa with plenty of chaises. The community center has nice a pool table, snack bar where you can serve yourself free coffee, playing board games, and sometimes, they have fun activities with a small fee for kids or adults to do something creatively.
It offers ATV/UTV to rent to explore around the towns (Cottonwood, Clarksdale, Sedona, and Jerome.
It has tiny houses to rent for travelers who want to camp without RVs or tents.
It is convenient from the highway with grocery stores, restaurants, gas stations, RV services close by, and a local casino.
It has two places close by where you can wash your RVs if necessary and on site wax service.
The staff in the office and maintenance were very friendly and professional ready to help
