Confirmed by 7 users | Last reported on September 18, 2023Really nice RV Park. We were here for two nights. RV Park is part of the Grand Canyon Railway Hotel and Railway complex. Lots of amenities which included those of the Hotel patrons. Very clean and well kept. Easy walking distance to downtown Williams for shopping and eating. We stayed here and opted to take the train to Grand Canyon because there were no sites available in Grand Canyon Village area. I do not regret this at all. The train ride to the canyon became another highlight of our trip.
Overall we really enjoyed this campground. Although it is quite close to the train tracks, it didn't really bother us that much. It may run less frequently off-season.
The bathrooms were very clean, it was a great starting point for our trip to Page, AZ the next morning. It also has great amenities that are shared with the hotel: Hotel lounge, restaurant and bar, swimming pool and jacuzzi, a dog kennel for folks that want to experience the train ride to the Grand Canyon.
We also got a 50% discount with Passport America. This always helps the budget. We would stay here again on our way through.

Very friendly, clean place. The first night the train horn was insanely loud (felt as if we were sleeping on the tracks)- the horn was blasted for multiple bursts on 3 separate occasions throughout the night (example 12, 3 and 5am) . The second night the horn was audible but not deafening. I am assuming the 1st night was not a typical occurrence.

We stayed here for a few days, I am really not impressed and here’s why:
1. I took two showers and each one of them the water goes from hot to cold and back without a warning or a sign. I even tried two different showers.
2. The bathrooms and the showers are cold and they stay cold in all hours of the day.
3. We paid for a huge parking lot, next to a train station. Had I have known that, I would have stayed down the street in a rest stop and saved the money.
4. The hot tub was “out of service” for our entire stay, and they have no idea when would it be fixed or even what’s wrong with it.
5. The trains run all night long and they are loud as hell, I mean you can probably jump over the park fence and land on the tracks.
6. Water tasted very much like it would have been inside the treatment facility, I even have filters and I had to change one of them after being here for two days.
7. Water pressure on sites is weak, less than 30 I had to adjust my water pressure regulator to bring the water pressure up to an acceptable pressure in the RV.
8. Laundry machines were $1.75 for wash and $1.50 for dry, that’s the highest that I have yet to pay in laundry over the last three years.
9. Laundry room is tiny, you can’t do laundry without tripping on other guests.
10. The staff at the front desk seems to think they are above anyone, when we were checking in we got talked down to and asked if we know how to get to our site. Really lady?
While one of the ladies in the office is checking us in, I asked for a receipt and what I got was her hand writing of the total amount on a piece of paper.
Another pet peeve of mine and this place hit that one hard.
When we are being checked in, one staff member was yapping her mouth while we are trying to pay attention to the over load of instructions from the other staff member
Based on my experience, I would have not paid any rate for this place. Not even free.

Yes, the train will blow their horns even in the middle of the night, yes it is much like any rv park but have better space between each sites, but the greatest of all is if you plan to ride the gcr to south rim! The park is right next to the train station, and walking distance to historic route 66! Staffs are friendly in the park and in the Train. Complimentary wifi is fast.
Our only issue is the location of rv park registration. Gps will take you to the hotel so DO NOT proceed there! Instead go to the east end of the hotel bldg and you will see the sign.

Let me start with the minus first and get that out of the way...train noise. But hey, you are staying at the Grand Canyon Railway park and there is the train tracks which other trains come through on. I would try not to be positioned in the couple back in sites along the tracks area. However, trains do not come through that often during the day. Other than that, this is a great place to stay! Most sites are pull thru and paved. The bathrooms/showers are very nice and tiled. Laundry room is reasonably priced and handy. YOu also have access to the amenities at the hotel across the street, including the restaurant, bar, gift shops, pool and hot tub. Not to mention you can walk across the street and board the train to the Grand Canyon. We really enjoyed our time here and were blown away by the stellar wifi, even when the park was full.

This park is huge. Stayed 2 nights June 8-10 and it was fully booked. Sites close together but otherwise clean. Dog walk is a rock walk path around the park. Had to go across street to find grass. Stayed in area to make train ride to Grand Canyon for a full day which I recommend just to enjoy the scenery. The town of Williams in Walking distance on old Route 66 was cool. Had a car show going on that weekend which may have contributed to full occupancy. Not much noise from trains, but the access road from interstate to RV park under serious road construction. Almost too hard to navigate with big rig unless you find alternative side roads ahead of time. There are other campgrounds in area to consider as well.

We picked this spot because we wanted the hot tub to soothe our tired legs that had just hiked out of The Grand Canyon. We booked 3 nights and the hot tub was only open 1 out of the 3 times that we tried to visit it. Bummer! The location is great to achieve some Zero Drive days. It's in town and walking distance to a grocery store and restaurants. The place is well kept but not sparkling clean. The showers are warm enough to wash your hair but too cold to shave my legs because of goose bumps. Just 5 degrees from heaven and 1 degree too close to painful. Active train tracks are only 30 feet away. Including a midnight horn. They didn't bother us much. But you should know they happen.

We stayed here for 4 days/3 nights. Everybody was pretty friendly and helpful. The sites are pretty narrow and close together, but it was fine for us because we spent most of our time out exploring. If the weather had been nicer (it was snowy and below freezing), it might have been a bummer to not have a lot of space outside. The facilities were ok. We were having some problems with our water freezing, so opted to use the showers and restrooms. The showers were scummy and could’ve been cleaned a bit more often, and the shower water was luke warm at best. I’d seen a lot of complaints about the trains being too loud, but it’s to be expected with the name of the park. We stayed here so we had easy access to taking the train to the Grand Canyon, and the train was a lot of fun. We enjoy the trains, so the noise wasn’t a problem to us. Overall, it was a good stay and we’d stay again if in the area.
