GuideThis place is so peaceful. You can see the mesas in the distance. It's not far from Winslow or Flagstaff. But it's nice and quiet there. It has a wonderful feeling. There are many artifacts so remember to leave no trace and not move or remove anything.
TravelerThe City try’s is best to keep it clean and so do the camps host as we saw both city works and the host walking around picking up trash is a nice little weekend trip for dry camping. The camp host are from Winslow so they are very knowledgeable about the area and very nice and willing to help no matter the circumstances. They do have bathrooms but no showers as they are out of order. Camp sites are right by the water for good fishing or you can park up above if you do not like bugs as they are worse down by the water than on the upper campsites.
RangerThe campground is going thru some renovations, like adding a new bathroom/shower facility. While here in early Sept, all they have are porta-johns and temporary showers (that do not have hot water). Each site has a covered picnic table, fire pit, and grill. Sites have water and the option for electric. Sites are paved and some have tent pads. The evening sunsets are amazing!! Not much tree cover or shade. There are wild burros roaming the park. Only about 2 miles from Winslow, which has anything you might need.
GuideWe stayed here 3 nights on Site 19. Gravel, level, pull through site. Close to but not on top of neighboring RVs. Dirt Dog Park. Nice Laundry facilities. Front desk staff pleasant at check in. Nothing real exciting nearby except for the Meteor Crater that is worth seeing. We drove 20 miles into Winslow one night and 35 miles into Flagstaff another night for entertainment and dinner.
LegendStopped here on my grand Route 66 adventure this summer. I really liked this park for several reasons. 1. It’s convenient to Route 66 (and Hwy 40); 2. It’s close to Petrified Forest National Park, which is pretty cool to explore on its own; 3. Free showers!!; 4. The campground is set back from the main park so you have a bit of privacy from day trippers; 5. Tent sites were level and well maintained (mine was raked!!); 6. All sites seemed to have hook-ups whether you needed them or not (maybe there were tent only sites, but it was all one price so no big deal); 7. The park has some great trails for hiking; 8. There is ancient pottery shards everywhere (don’t take it! Leave it for everyone to enjoy); 9. Free showers!!; 10. Not too far from Winslow, AZ, where you CAN stand on the corner.
Overall I enjoyed my stay here, though I got in at sunset and left shortly after the main park opened at 8am. This might be my only negative about the park. The main park and the best attractions don’t open until 8am (a ranger actually comes and opens the gates), which is much later than I tend to get moving (up with the sun and all). And with the heat of the day starting at 9:30, it’s hard to get to the sites and get in a good hike before it’s too hot.
GuideIf you are looking for a less crowded and easy spot off the highway this is your place! We arrived at the park and our first impression was to wonder if they were even open. Parked the RV close to the gas station that is there and entered to see if someone could help. We were immediately scolded by the woman at the desk. She advised us that in the future that is not where we park .We explained that since it was very desolate, and there was no signage as to where you should park or even enter that we promised never to make that mistake again. We booked online and assumed that having a “full hook up” included sewage as well. Our space did not have sewage, but did see the other row in front of us did have sewage. Chose not to go up front and deal with the unpleasant lady again so we stayed where we were. So if you book online double check when you enter that you will have a sewage hook up ! If you have dogs, they strictly enforce that they do not urinate or poop in any part of the park that is not designated. That means you have to walk your dog without them having to stop to pee to the dog park for them to do their business! And you’re not allowed to have them outside on a leash or enclosure so you are basically to keep them inside your camper only to go out to use the restroom and back inside! We have a nine month old puppy who loves to exert some energy we had to walk him to the dog park, which was a bit of a ways away from where we were located in order for him to go potty. Not very convenient in the middle of the night.!!!!
GuideJust a quick overnight but we were happy to see a dog park. The benches are broke and need repairs. It would be nice to sit while the dogs run around. You can hear the freeway but that makes it easier to access. Sites were level. Not crowded. Clean and well maintained.
GuideThis was an okay Campground. The dog park needs some work. The little town of Holbrook is pretty cool and there is a great Navajo Historical Society Museum... Definitely worth a visit.
