"Primitive camping in beautiful, cool Arizona forest. Most campsites offer a lot of privacy. Dirt roads are a bit rough, so SLOW is an important word!"
"Had to walk around to avoid bee entering mouth while eating. And putting away washed dishes was a challenge to keep none from entering storage bag. Otherwise the ospreys were awesome."

GuideThis site was just inside the Kaibab National Forest. Beautiful trees, nice dark sky with a million stars and a stones throw to the south rim. Would highly recommend.

Ponderosa Pines in Kaibab National Forest.
Saw at least a dozen bigger rigs with better backing skills than us tucked away from the road.
Lovely to see trees after 2 months of desert. Had cows fairly close, deer in the distance. Lots of birds.
Verizon 1-2 bars, ATT showed 1 bar but was unusable. This was fairly close to the entrance with no booster.
Grounds reasonably clean, I've seen worse. 2 grocery bags over 14 days of broken glass, nails, plastic, used foil, beer caps, shell casings etc on my walks.
Several spots have nice firepits.
There is some road noise, but not bad.
Close to GCNP & free. If you have a pass, use the left lane for quicker entry.
Restaurants & groceries in the area are at tourist prices, bring what you need or be prepared for sticker shock.
Propane is available at the RV park just past the general store.
We refilled water jugs inside the park at their Spring Water stations each time we went. Laundry at Mather Campground.
Definitely do Desert View Drive while in the area. Gorgeous views & able to get away from the masses at Grand Canyon Village.
Would stay again if in the area.
If coming in late for longer than 1-2nts. Take the 1st spot you can fit into & scout out the next morning. Lots of car/van campers were just here for the night, and there are many easy spaces tucked back from the road that are hard to see from the road when towing. We parked just off the road near the entrance and grabbed a great spot 48hrs later when some neighbors left.
GuideThe Kaibab National Forest is a beautiful area; roads leading all directions, not all of them connect. We were pretty excited to camp under the stars. The skies here are BIG! So quiet, and peaceful. We were thrilled to find a camp spot in a small meadow with a pond that the wildlife used for water.
Some roads were rough, needing a four wheel drive; just our style; some are more than an hour from pavement,; again, exactly our style. It was fun to look, and then look again for just the right spot. This area is just north of the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, so be sure to check that out. There is a lot to see here. If you are looking to camp on National Park property, get there early and make a reservation. We opted for primitive camping and were thrilled with it.
TravelerThere is no dog park but there is a walk around path. There are a lot of weeds around the perimeter
ScoutThe campground is right off of the highway. Close to the town of Williams and Route 66. Clean restrooms, showers, and laundry room. There is a nice dog park that is along the Grand Canyon railroad track. If we’re in the area again, will be staying here!
GuideBrought 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.
GuideNice 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...
GuideI 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.
