    Quiet spot, east to find, bumpy road

    This spot was great to stop for the night. It’s close enough to I-40 to be viable for a quick night, but far enough to be quiet. We don’t see anyone. The road was washboards, so getting to it was slow. Other then that it was great

    Good spot for a night - convenient

    Stayed here overnight to visit the Petrified Forest National Park.

    Staff was friendly and helpful. The "cowboy" breakfasts and dinners are simple friendly events, although I didn't eat there.

    Lots are standard RV set-ups, all right next to each other. Lot was fairly level, but still needed from front/back leveling even in my small van. Gravel driveways, gravel lots.

    Laundry had about 5-6 washers and the same number of dryers.

    This location is near a highway that is busy all night. You are not right on the highway, but the steady sound of cars and trucks can be heard all night. Not super loud, but not peaceful either.

    Wifi was slow and inconsistent. Even though I was right by the main building, my connection sometimes said "unable to connect, try moving closer", or just wouldn't connect, or if it did, was unusably slow. Verizon wireless was great though (about 10mb).

    I'd stay again for a convenient overnight.

    Awesome site, but…….

    Beautiful, huge site! Sites were well spaced. Very quiet campground. The camp host didn’t bother us at all. She was around, just not intrusive. Now the bad. I have been camping in primitive sites for the last 20 years or more. In all those years I have never come across pit toilets as bad as the ones at this campground. We arrived Sunday night. They were really bad, but it was the end of a weekend so I gave grace. On Tuesday the toilets were “cleaned “ out. It didn’t help because no one put chemicals in the pit. The smell of raw sewage was always present in our site.

    Convenient and Secure

    My first KOA—pricey for a tent spot (car camping) with a small shared area and limited tables. Tent spots are in view of noisy I40. I did feel safe here, considering the KOA branding, and liked the shorter drive to PFNP. Facilities are nice, otherwise, with close bathhouses and a sweet little chuckwagon serving breakfast and dinner.

    Nice Forest service campground. Free

    A nice campground has about seven spots, sign said it was a fee area. However, the camp host said it was free.

    Long Lake Dispersed Camping

    Worth the challenging drive If you have AWD or 4WD

    Pristine and usually unoccupied lake off the beaten path. 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. Four camping areas near or with access to Lake with two of them having boat ramps. Skip the first turn off to the right as that is the very narrow part of the lake and rather ugly. The second turn off has two to four campsites with vault toilets and access to the lake through a boat ramp which allows camping and small trailer access lakeside. The churn out to the right is, Really rough and has very little camping or RV access. One of the pictures shows how rough the road is. I took the fourth turn off which is 747 and has one to two camping sites with a fire pit and good RV access along with a boat ramp. Note that fires are allowed in the fire pits because this is above 6, 000 feet but there is no water or trash. Pack it in, pack it out.

    Quiet and Private!

    Even on a busy holiday weekend we found a perfect spot and the only truck and voices were our own. PERFECT when looking to camp in a quiet relaxing place with the kids to get away from it all. My new fav spot for sure!!

    Numbered free camp sites. First come first served. Beautiful cool high country with many overlooks over the rim. There is a lake near by for fishing, has a small store and you can rent kyaks and small boats.

    Camp sites are not near each other, but within sight. Campfires allowed when conditions permit. We stayed 3 nights while on our way home with our new R-Pod 192 Hood River Edition. We will definately go back again. The guy who came buy later to check us in was super nice and very informative.

    Enjoyable

    The 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.

    Nice location if coming to Holbrook AZ

    Great 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.

    Wonderful campground

    We had a pull through for one night on our trip. It was an easy hookup. The trails are a 1mile hike from camp. It was hot so we didn’t get all the way. The bathrooms are ok. We didn’t check out the showers.

    Pinegrove Campground

    Good, not great

    Very clean and very nice camp hosts. The bugs were super intense. We didn’t have a screened in “porch” and it was brutal. Maybe it was just the time of year, I don’t know. But we came from 2 days in Strawberry and didn’t have anywhere near the bug problem.

    Lots of people. Pretty typical amount of people, but still lots of people as the places was at capacity.

    The free dump was good. ( with paid visit ).

    Wasn’t quite cool enough to fully enjoy with air conditioning. It’s Arizona so it’s to be expected. Our high was roughly 88-89. Which was just on the cusp of too hot to not have A/C when hanging out at camp. Coupled with the insane amount of bugs/nats. It just wasn’t a 5 experience.

    Lastly, on the way there, there are a TON of boondocking spots. I wouldn’t hesitate to go back in that area to boondocking.

    Lake Mary was a fun day for the family. But know that Ashurst lake across the street is for boat fishing. We drive the entire perimeter and there was nowhere to pop up a tent and fish from shore comfortably.

    Holbrook/Petrified Forest KOA

    Never disappoints

    We live in the Phoenix area, and we use this KOA as a launching off point for trips to the East. The staff are always friendly and helpful. The grounds are well maintained. We were assigned spot #58 which is a big spot with a paver patio, furniture and a firepit. It also has privacy fencing on each side and full hookups. With our KOA discount it was $81.83. This was our first time with this large of a spot. Next time, we will go back to a regular spot again for a better price. The location is just off Interstate 40 which makes it convenient, but you can hear some of the freeway noise and an occasional train. They serve a delicious breakfast with a good variety that has an all you can eat pancake option for only $3.99. There is also a Cowboy Cookout every night. They are making more improvements to the grounds. Some spots will have a private enclosed patio with a gazebo and fire pit. For dog owners, there are some spots with your own enclosure, but those are hard to get. There is a dog run as well as a designated dog walking area with trees and trash cans.

Nice to be able to connect to electric a few days so didn't have to worry about solar palels. We were able to get starlink when dishy was set to flat. With senior pass cost was $22.50

    Nice spot near Flagstaff

    This was a solid find. When we went there were only a few other campers so we had a pretty quiet night. Though we could definitely hear the 40 and occasionally cars would drive down the forest road very quickly. Otherwise, it was a good pitstop.

    Nice campground in the forest

    Pros - beautiful spot in the forest with nice sunsets, lots of shade from trees, small but well spaced, right across the road from the lake, short drive into Flagstaff, clean pit toilet, each site has picnic table and fire ring

    Cons - no sink in the bathroom, leash rule was not followed nor enforced by campground host

    Excellent Bathhouse

    We were traveling across country and needed a place close to the interstate to stop for the night. We were given clear instructions on how to arrive after hours. The campground had a wonderful view of some mountains and was conveniently located to the meteor crater. . I love the fact that this campground has trees!! That was a huge bonus. . The sites are level and offers lots of pull thrus. . My favorite part: The Bathhouse! It was so nice to have a private bathroom that felt like I was at home. . Bonus: They give a coupon for a discounted entry to the meteor crater. We arrived as soon as they opened and it was totally worth the stop!

    I stumbled upon this area after catching some fish are ashurst lake. What a gem. The area I stayed is about a mile from the lake. I pulled off onto the side roads that lead into the forest and found a lot beautiful sites. The trees are huge and spread out in a beautiful way that gives way to open spaces. I love this place and plan to return. 10/10
