Williams

The Best Camping Near Williams, Arizona

This KOA is very clean and has ton's of amenities on site, very nice showers and bathrooms, some of the amenities are mini golf, pan for gems, trails, go karts, peddle cars, playground, laundry room, store,small arcade, just to name a few, not all the amenities are free. Close to Williams,AZ one exit away, also close to Bearizona, Grand Canyon, Deer farm. They have everything from campsites that are primitive to a full group cabin to rent and everything in between.

During our stay we rented a 4 person cabin, while other family members that we were there to camp with had a pull thru spot for there 5th wheel.

Our cabin has a queen size bed and a bunk bed, the room had a TV, picnic table. fire pit, swinging porch bench, and a heater, the rest rooms where a quick minute walk away.

Great KOA with lot's of Amenities

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...

Grand canyon, National forests, nearby Flagstaff

Lots to do here. Camped in 32 Foot Class C. Easy to manuver and great hooks ups. VERY Kid friendly. We to Bearizona, Rode go-carts, played mini golf. Bikes work well here. Swimming pool is indoors. Sheets are very clean. As of May 2018 I-40 is under contraction making this a bit tough to get too but manageable.

Bearizona and Lots to do at KOA

It's a great base for visiting both Flagstaff (30 mins) and Grand Canyon (65 minutes), however the current construction on I-40 has closed the exit for this campground. It's not too inconvenient to go one mile west and backtrack to get off at 167 eastbound, but if you want to get on I-40 West to go one mile to the GC exit, the detour adds 30 minutes to your trip. If there are back roads, KOA should make them known because even Google doesn't have it.

Other than that, the campground is decent. Restrooms are clean and stocked. Showers are hot. The tent sites are more out in the open than I'd prefer, and you see and hear the freeway from your site. There's a pool, mini golf, gaga ball court, giant pillow, and go karts which were great entertainment for the kids during fire restrictions.

Just Ok

go-karts, play areas, ‘trampoline’, hiking trails, pets, under the trees, Indoor pool and spa, activities, snack bar, laundry, store.  low water pressure for sewer clean out though.  right now due to fire restrictions can only use propane for fires, bbq and ground. close to Bearizona, Williams. great for camping and ‘glamping’



lots of amenities 

We only stayed here one night but my kids begged to go back for the rest of the trip. The tent sites were perfect for what we needed and even had electrical outlets. Showers and facilties were clean and in good condition. My kids loved the bounce pillow and the playground. We also had fun swimming in the pool. There are go carts and some other activities that are paid but we didn’t do any of those because there were so many other free options. Bearizona and the Deer Farm are just minutes away.

Lots of Family Fun!


Nice park clean friendly staff. Lots of activities for the kids. But here’s a warning site #67 was so small I couldn’t put my awning out. So unlevel that I ran out of leveling blocks trying to compensate. And the worst part the sewer connection was HIGHER than my TT so every time I had to empty my tanks I had to jack my trailer up higher than the drain. 

Ok except site #67

Lots to do for kids. Nice wooded sites. Rzr trails in the area and close to lots of fishing. Town of Williams is a tourist adventure and Bearzona is a Blast!! 🎣🐻🦉🌲

Kids paradise

Lots going on here, quite a bit of noise but plenty of fun, especially if you have restless kids!

Busy but fun

Its a large KOA right off the highway. Nice facility, with bathrooms, showers, a store, and more. We’ve stayed here twice. Once in a tent and once in a cabin. They offer nicer cabins that’s almost it’s own little house with your own bathroom and kitchen. We stayed in a basic cabin with only beds and a heater. But it was enough for what we wanted. Camp sites are close to each other a long with the cabins. It’s a nice facility to stay at that’s on alternative to a hotel however you don’t get that camping feel with all the people being packed in one area. While staying here we visited our beloved Bearizona, and downtown Williams. Some of our favorite things to do in AZ. If you really want a camping feel, then I would not recommend however if you want a nice alternative to a hotel and to enjoy the outdoors this is your spot.

Nice but crowded

This was our first time camping in our travel trailer. Circle Pines KOA was great. The campsites and facilities are very clean. The staff was excellent! They were so helpful, giving us tips with our trailer to make our trip go smoothly. There were tons of activities for the kids and the campground is very dog friendly. We can’t wait to go back!

Nice campground 

On our way to other destinations we stopped here for the night on 10/3/20. Wow! Pleasant surprise. The campground was clean and the staff was friendly. It is a quick 5 minute drive to either Williams or the deer farm zoo. Both are great places to visit. On a different visit to Williams we went to Bearzona zoo and that is also a great place to visit. There is a go cart track at the campground and it was a blast for my son and I to try. The campground provided a pumpkin and carving kit for the kids. Awesome touch! We would definitely stay here again. 

Great stopping point

Lots to do

We stayed here for 3 days and had a blast. This place has all the amenities of a resort level KOA!! ￼You’re about 50 minutes from the southern rim of the Grand Canyon, and 35 from flagstaff. We’ll stay here again if we’re back in the area!￼￼

Amazing! This feels like a KOA Resort

Stayed here 4 nights and was very pleased. We stayed so busy exploring Grand Canyon and Sedona areas can't really comment on the amenities much. Reservation agent actually returned my call and got us in during a busy time. Park is close to I40 so road noise was kinda loud but not terrible. We would definitely stay again.

Great location for area exploring

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. 

Great family campground

Stayed here Nov 23-30, 2021. 

This one is decent for what it is.  If you have younger children, and you are using more amenities available (some not available due to season), it's more worth the kinda pricey cost to stay here. The restrooms were decent, only accessible through the pool area inside.  We didn't use the pool. The store was pretty cool, plenty of items to choose from, along with some food items available.  

We were in a pull through, full hookup site. We had to do a bit of leveling, so just know that leveling skills required for most of the sites here.  We didn't use the laundry facility but it seemed pretty nice.  The areas for dogs were great. They had 2 bigger areas for dog play, plenty of room and space to run/play!  Some cool hiking trails along the edge of the campground.  Something we found a little difficult was the placement of the firepits.  They are moveable; however, some people do not know this.  On the one side of us, they had it too close for comfort to the back of our camper, so we had to move it before the next people took the site. For safety.  We also had to move ours so that it wasn't too close to the folks or their camper on the other side.  So, I guess you could say these sites are a tad cramped.  Also, be aware that there are many sites with trees to be aware of when parking/setting up.  Dumpsters conveniently placed around the park.  Wifi was spotty when it was packed, it got a little better once people left.  

Overall, it was a decent place with decent facilities to spend the holiday.

Good campground.

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. 

Nice KOA with great amenities 

Great location, clean, amenities and staff were awesome. 

It's also a bit noisy, a little from the freeway, but train station runs late at night. Gravel could be a bit more level. 

Dinner is only available Thursday- Sunday and the go-kart have select times and dates. 

One of the best KOAs we've stayed at

Go carts are open, indoor heated pool and hot tubs, lots of activities for kids, pony rides and trail rides

Great for families 

We have stayed here multiple times and enjoyed every one. The sites are a little tight, but are well laid out for easy access. Take the train to the South Rim for a great time.

Quiet and well kept

The staff is the best. Super friendly and extremely helpful. The campgrounds RV spaces are roomy. There’s plenty for the kids to do too. 

Great place to stay

This place has all the amenities including laundry. Nothing else to want for!!! And the staff is great.

Great 

Amazing campground roughly 30 mins west of Flagstaff and just under an hour to the south rim of the Grand Canyon. Definitely take a visit to Williams, it’s like a step back in time. People were friendly and helpful. A ton to do here! Also, there is a hiking trail just behind the campground. But beware that you would most likely get packed in here during high season. The sites are very close together.

Better than Flagstaff 

This place is a scam! The spots are literally on top of each other. From the front door of your trailer you have 4 feet and then your stepping on someone's sewage line. Then they market all kinds of amenities but they are never even open. The golf carts are only from Thursday at 3 through Sunday. The Cafe is only open Friday through Sunday. The horses... they have a few and there is only 1 ride a day, if you can get a reservation. They have the INDOOR pool closed for the"weather"... it was sunny outside. Not that it is that great anyway. It is so small that you can barely walk around the pool much less sit down. The deck around it is also dirty disgusting. If your looking for somewhere quiet to relax and camp, DON'T go here. It's like grand central station and all you hear at night is the highway. If I was prepared to dry camp, I would have left the second I got there and camped in the woods. Don't let the website fool you like it did me. It was a waste of my vacation.

Horrible place

Big campground tucked in the forest with many activities for the kids. Place has an indoor pool for those cold nights. Polar express in Williams is a short 10min drive from here. Staff is super friendly!

KOA in the Trees

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.

Lovely campground! 

Tried this place on a whim. Lots of people pass by here but it has such a cozy homey feel we ended up loving it and extended our stay from one night to two nights. Lots of forest roads to play on near by as well if you have off-road toys. 

Great atmosphere Great vibes 

We didn’t end up being able to stay here because of lack of availability for our rig! Absolutely beautiful place and tons of stuff for the kids!
