Cabin options near Winslow include both furnished and rustic accommodations with varying amenities. The Holbrook/Petrified Forest KOA provides cabins with heating, comfortable beds, and some with private bathrooms. The Painted Desert Ranger Cabin offers a more remote experience with basic furnishings. "The cabin was very nice! Cozy. There was a strong heater, and it was pet friendly," noted one visitor about the KOA property. Mormon Lake Lodge RV Park & Campground and Canyon Point Campground also feature cabin rentals, though with more limited facilities compared to the KOA options.
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. The KOA cabins range from basic units without bathrooms to fully equipped cabins with kitchenettes. Most properties require reservations, particularly during summer months when the higher elevation locations provide relief from desert heat. Pet policies vary by location—the KOA welcomes pets in designated cabins, while other properties may restrict animals or charge additional fees. A visitor described the Painted Desert Ranger Cabin as offering "gorgeous stargazing opportunities, and is right next to the Petrified Forest," though access requires four-wheel drive.
Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. The KOA cabins typically provide mattresses but not bedding, while the more equipped units may include basic kitchen supplies. On-site camp stores at locations like the KOA offer essential groceries and camping supplies. The cabins at Take It Easy RV Park and Mountain Retreat in Heber feature more extensive amenities including electricity and water hookups. Properties at higher elevations like Happy Jack Lodge & RV Park typically operate seasonally from spring through fall, with some closing during winter months.

ScoutIn my cross country move, I stopped here for a night to visit the Petrified National Park. I had never stayed at a KOA before but got a cabin with no bathroom for 1 night. It was very nice! Cozy. There was a strong heater, and it was pet friendly! The manager was nice and the park was well kept!
RangerThis KOA has lot's of space, from private tent sites to RV with full hookups, fully equipped cabins, even a giant Wigwam to stay at. It also has a pool, playground, small libary, and a well stocked store, everyday they cook food that you can buy instead of cooking yourself. This KOA is in the route 66 town of Holbrook, a small quiet town, with gas, groceries, and fast food all with in a mile of the campsite, the Petirfied Forest is a 30 mintue drive away and worth the trip. During this trip we took a big family group, and normally we tent camp, but we decided to stay in their biggest cabin, it was big and beautiful 3 a/c units, full small kitchen, loft full bathroom and lot's of comfy seat's, all you had to do was bring your clothes and food, everything was there for you. From the gas grill to the fully equipped kitchen, it was a super easy stay. This cabin slept 7 and had a eat in porch as well. It was a little on the pricey side at $160 a night but we felt worth it's price.Check out the video for a video tour of the cabin.
LegendThe KOA in Holbrook, AZ, is conveniently located just west of Petrified Forest National Park. A quick 10-minute drive to the SW entrance will reward you with a quiet, easy entrance to the park. From there, you can drive through the park and end up at the main visitor center on the northern end, near the Painted Desert.
This campground has a nice, yet older, playground, a swimming pool (open seasonally), and offers full hookups (including cable for an extra fee), tent sites, and cabins. The "kamping kitchen" is open for cowboy cookouts, including dinner and breakfast (at extra charge), and we sampled their all-you-can-eat pancake breakfast, which was the best one our 5-year-old ate on our entire trip! Right near the kitchen is a sampling of petrified wood to get you in the spirit of exploration. The owners are very friendly, and even in June this campground felt uncrowded. Sites are a bit close together, but with our small 17-foot trailer, we had plenty of room, a picnic table, and fire ring. The owners were also helpful about giving directions and suggestions about all the attractions in the area. There is also a laundry room on site.
GuideStayed here Nov 21-23, 2021.
Firstly, these sites are pretty tight. They are level, but tight. All gravel. Secondly, there's nothing for dogs. They may advertise as pet friendly, but it's really just not. There's an area designated for a pet walk, but it's just not a pet walk at all. You have the option to pay an extra $20 for a site that includes a little area for your doggo, but it's about a 4x4 cage with fake grass. Really only big enough for a toy chihuahua to comfortably use it for potty time. The restrooms were clean and decent. Wifi decent. Laundry facility decent. This place is pretty straight forward in how it's designed and what it has to offer. If you don't have pets, then this place might be good for you. Overall, it was okay for 2 nights, but no more than that.
LegendAshley here with The Dyrt! We're so happy to welcome your host, Ross. This cabin offers a comfy bed and flush toilet..and that's it! Bring what you need and possibly pack an all-terrain wagon.

Thank you for sharing this gem, Ross! Book your adventure today and leave a review here!
LegendGreat proximity to the Petrified forrest NP. Campsites were wide and level. Nice amenities include the chairs, table and fire pit. It also had a fair amount of privacy. Nice experience. Staff were. friendly and helpful.
The power did go out with 102F. The staff restored power and came around to all campsites with the status, Much appreciated.
GuideThe Holbrook KOA is conveniently near Petrified national forest, which makes it an easy place to set up camp because of it's proximity. The campsite was somewhat under construction and it looked like they were adding some additional campsites which is exciting. They offer plenty of amenities (running water, electricity, wifi and playgrounds for the kids.
All of the tent campsites are right next to each other, so you will get to know your neighbors pretty well. When I went I was the only person tent camping which made it great for privacy. My only issue with the campsite is the location of where the tent camps are set up, it is really close to the I-40, you will hear truckers and other cars drive by while your sleeping at night which made it difficult to fall asleep. I think it would be better if they moved the tent camping to the other side of the park that way your farther away from all the highway noise.
ScoutRock Crossing Campground is, in my opinion, one of the best campground we have stayed. It has water and toilets near the camping grounds, which by the way are super clean. They have grill, fire pit, and a picnic table and bear safe storage.
LegendSince there are no developed campgrounds inside Petrified Forest National Park, you have two options: choose a private campground outside of the park, or grab a permit and set off into the backcountry. We did both during our visit in August 2015.
We were pleasantly surprised with our campsite at the KOA outside of Petrified Forest. Typically, we prefer campgrounds that are more scenic and rustic, but after a few weeks on the road, we enjoyed the amenities (hot showers, coin laundry, wifi, all-you-can-eat pancake breakfast) and convenience (less than 30 minutes to the park) of this KOA. We chose the “deluxe” tent site, which, for $2 more than the regular tent site, offered a covered picnic table, hot & cold water, and electricity at the site. The campground was nearly empty at this time of the year, so although the sites are close together, we felt alone. The only downsides would be the less-than-inspiring scenic views and the cramped sites during peak season.
The proximity and position of this campground to the national park allows for easy visiting and minimal backtracking. We’d suggest starting your trip along Highway 40 to the northern Painted Desert Visitor Center to get acquainted with the park, then making your way south and exit near the Rainbow Forest Museum. Simply return to the campground via Highway 180.
Inside the park (north to south), here are the must-sees: the Painted Desert National Historic Landmark (try to time it and attend a free ranger guided tour), the Blue Forest, Jasper Forest (below this overlook was our favorite trail of the park!), Crystal Forest, and the Giant Logs area. Don’t forget to stop at both visitor centers for more information about this fascinating geologic anomaly.

Cabin camping near Winslow, Arizona offers visitors access to the diverse Mogollon Rim ecosystem at elevations ranging from 4,850 to 7,000 feet. Summer temperatures typically range between 75-90°F during day and 50-60°F at night, with cooler conditions at higher elevations. Most cabin properties close during winter months when snowfall can make forest roads impassable.
Hiking trails: Canyon Point Campground features the Sinkhole Trail, a family-friendly route approximately ¾ mile each way. "It was very easy and only about ¾ of a mile each way with great tree coverage," notes a visitor to Sitgreaves National Forest Canyon Point Campground.
Fishing access: Several cabin properties sit within 5-10 miles of fishing lakes. "Mormon Lake area is very nice and secluded" according to a reviewer at Mormon Lake Lodge RV Park & Campground, while another visitor noted Long Lake offers "Pristine and usually unoccupied lake off the beaten path."
Stargazing: Clear skies at higher elevations provide excellent night viewing. The more remote cabins offer minimal light pollution for astronomical observation. The Painted Desert Ranger Cabin "offers gorgeous stargazing opportunities, and is right next to the Petrified Forest" according to visitors.
Clean facilities: Many campers highlight the maintenance standards at established cabin sites. "The bathrooms were immaculate! They were clean and fully stocked with paper products, a trash receptacle, and air freshener," commented a visitor at Canyon Point Campground.
Convenience to attractions: The location of Take It Easy RV Park earned praise for its proximity to town amenities: "Close to Walmart, Flying J, Standing on a Corner. Close to town and restaurant's within 2 mile diameter."
Temperature relief: Higher elevation cabins provide escape from summer desert heat. "Very nice park with lots of space, from private tent sites to RV with full hookups, fully equipped cabins, even a giant Wigwam to stay at," noted a camper at Holbrook/Petrified Forest KOA, where temperatures average 10-15 degrees cooler than Winslow proper.
Reservation requirements: Most cabin properties require advance booking, especially during summer. "Sites are large and spread out. Very quiet. Great tall pines for nice shade in Arizona summer," explains a Canyon Point camper, making it a popular destination requiring early booking.
Vehicle requirements: Some more remote cabins have significant access challenges. Long Lake Dispersed Camping requires "17 miles of dirt road from Highway to the lake and the last 7 are truly a challenge for anything other than a slightly lifted vehicle."
Amenities vary significantly: Cabin options range from fully equipped to extremely rustic. "The cabin was basically a gravel parking lot with picnic table," noted one KOA visitor, while another described Mountain Retreat in Heber: "You definitely cant beat the price and its nice that the rate includes water, electric and sewage."
Look for kid-friendly amenities: Some properties offer dedicated children's facilities. "They have a pool, playground, small library, and a well stocked store," noted a visitor to the KOA, which also features special family cabins.
Consider shower access: After outdoor activities, shower facilities become important. "The best thing about canyon point is the fact that it's one of the other campgrounds that have showers available, that's a huge plus after a couple days of being outdoors," explains a visitor to Rock Crossing Campground.
Pack entertainment: Limited connectivity means bringing analog activities. "There is no wifi nor cable, not even anything available through an antenna. If you do camp here bring dvds," advises a Mormon Lake Lodge visitor.
Space considerations: Some cabin and RV sites offer limited spacing between units. Mormon Lake Lodge RV Park has sites that are "very tight and your neighboring camper is directly facing your front. You basically share your front space and picnic table."
Hookup availability: Check exact specifications before booking. Happy Jack Lodge & RV Park offers "large community" spaces with "pretty good size lots, lots of trees" according to visitors, but has limited additional amenities beyond the essential hookups.
Road conditions: Access to more remote cabins requires careful vehicle consideration. "Skip the first turn off to the right as that is the very narrow part of the lake and rather ugly," advises a Long Lake visitor about accessing remote cabin areas with RVs.
