    Woody Mountain Campground & RV Park

    Camp in the pines

    Brought our motorcycle for day trip to Sedona. Conveniently located for the gorgeous drive. Camped in site 6, small trailer site. Came in after office hours. Paperwork, including park map, ready for us next to office. It was dark, so not super easy to find site, but little street signs helped. All dirt, so glad it wasn't muddy. All sites show wheelchair accessible, but don't see how. Charcoal grills and picnic benches scattered everywhere. Community grill area, laundry, clean bathrooms, dog park and newer playground. They are currently improving campground, so lots of tractor noise. We chose an electric and water only site. Dump station next to dog park/laundry/bathroom area. Didn't go to General Store, but they advertise a coffee and wine bar, and breakfast sandwiches. Right on Hwy 66, so a bit of traffic, and we could hear the train, but it wasn't bad. We will definitely be back and look forward to seeing the planned improvements.

    Williams-Circle Pines KOA

    Grand canyon, National forests, nearby Flagstaff

    Nice park, plenty of amenities, dog park, pull thru sites..close but not unbearable...plenty of room for tip outs..Close to Williams, hour drive to Grand canyon NP. Seems like there's abundant KOA bashing going on these days...This park is not one of them...

    Williams-Circle Pines KOA

    Lovely campground!

    I only stayed one night but could have made an entire vacation in this one location. Close to Winslow and the Grand Canyon, beautiful park setting, excellent park store, and the staff were wonderful. They do have food service, however I did not eat there. Plenty of clean shower and bathroom facilities and options for family entertainment. Two large dog parks with towering pines all around.

    Williams-Circle Pines KOA

    Nice KOA with great amenities

    Stayed at Circle Pines for just a night while passing through to Grand Canyon.

    Let me start by stating that the staff here are exceptional. Really courteous, kind, friendly, and accommodating. 5 stars to them!

    This is a pretty happenin' KOA. Lots going on all the time. There is a go cart track (open Memorial Day to Labor Day), a putt-putt, several dog parks, a giant bouncy house thing, etc. Kids are really well accommodated here. We dont have kids, but we have dogs...and the grounds are nice for them. Our dogs are jerk holes so can't play in the dog park with others, but there is plenty of walking areas to make sure they don't get left out of exercise.

    As others have stated, this is pretty close to the freeway so you can hear some road noise. It really didn't bother us (full disclaimer, I'm HOH, but my husband can hear well and it didn't phase him).

    The only real con to this rv park is that you're kind of packed in. We have a big rig (38ft MH) so this is really just about the tight squeezes of getting that beast maneuvered in here. And then of course, back out. But the staff will absolutely assist when it gets a bit sketchy. Thus the 5 stars for them.

    Very nice campground with plenty to do onsite for family. Playground for kids, 2 dog parks, mining, go carts, mini golf. Plus plenty to do in William's AZ with deer farm, Bearizona.

    Woody Mountain

    When your in a bind on road trip

    This is one of those parks that mostly have RV camping & a few tent sites. There wasn't any availability at other spots since we are floating around in our little RV... the spots aren't too close together, there is shade from pine trees, bathrooms with showers & flushing toilets. Road noise & train noise (we don't mind trains). It's convenient to exploring Flagstaff. Easy hiking trail within park & small dog park.

    J & H RV Park

    Lovely Family-run Resort

    Angie greeted us warmly by email, phone, and then in person upon check-in. If I understand correctly, her father or grandfather started this resort. The spaces are approximately nice distance apart with trees and picnic tables. Very nice to have the dump caps close to the ground; we've contended with a few others that required lifters and additional manipulation! There are bathrooms, showers, laundry, restful patios, a pet run, and even a pet washing station. Wish we had more time to stay here.

    Woody Mountain

    Hate it but already paid

    TLDR: Yet another over-hyped dust pit that wants to over-charge for basics. Vanners and those who don’t need hookups for their obnoxious rigs, SKIP THIS PLACE.

    I just needed a place to get my senior dog out of the heat for a few days, so I called to ask specifically if the site would be shady. “Yes, all the sites are shady because we keep so many trees.” Riiiight. I’m stuck in a spot with MORNING shade (pretty useless when it’s in the 60s) for the next four nights. I also get to watch people walking through the site and smell the wafting odor of the toilets, which are feet away. I spent all afternoon on the day of arrival buying MORE things to make the next few days bearable for my dog. The “dog park” is like an oversized hamster cage full of wood chips and immediately next to the dump station. No escaping the sh*t, it seems!

    When I asked before arriving if there would be any refund in case we needed to leave early, the answer—of course—was no. They don’t give refunds for any reason after the day of arrival. And the mandatory waiver, which specifies we have essentially no recourse or rights once here, would have made me cancel plans to stay. But again, that only came after they had already charged my card for the full stay.

    Particularly annoying/laughable are the signs EVERYWHERE telling us all the things not to do—however, management is quick to sell you “add-ons” that are overpriced priced and basic.

    Got us caught in an extractive, ugly tourist trap—won’t happen ever again. Just hope I can keep my cool the next few days 😈

    Two stars only because it’s in Flag, which is beautiful and fun on its own.
