Grand Canyon Railway RV Park

Nice park. I would definitely stay here again. Nice RV Sites. Nice restrooms and Laundry. During the day there is a working Rail line next door, however, we did not notice the train horns at nght.

We stayed at the park for two nights. The fact that railway is in the park name, it shouldn't surprise anyone that there will be trains and train noise. There is a railway crossing right next to the park, so yes you will hear the trains blow their whistle and warnings when they come through town. We turned the heater fan from auto to low and outside noise was minimal. We didn't hear any trains after we went to sleep so I can't say if there were continuous trains throughout the night or not. The park is very clean. The sights are close, but not any closer than normal tourist type locations. We had a pull through site and had to raise one side of the trailer 1" for level. The town is a small postcard picturest type town and seems to start shutting down around 6:30pm, so plan accordingly. Park guest have full access to the adjacent hotel including the indoor pool, which was very nice.

The train noise is an absolute nightmare so I would not stay here again. The horns beep for long periods of time at 2am, 3am, 4 am, etc. We didn't get one good night of sleep. It is sad as the park is in a wonderful location, walking distance to downtown, and right near the Polar Express Train for the kids. It is very clean and the facilities are nice. Spots are very, very narrow but do come with a picnic table.

This is a very nice park, close to historic downtown, good restaurants, and services. the wifi is good. The only drawback to a wonderful experience are the night trains. I knew about the trains, and the trian noise itself isn't too bad, but the horns blasting at 3 am is jolting. Also, be prepared for altitude sickness if your from a near sea level area. Young and healthy folks shouldn't have a problem, but folks like me (nearing 70 and not in the best shape in my life) do have a harder time at 7000 feet.

Nice surprise for a one night stay after visiting the Grand Canyon. Best rest room facilities and showers, first class! Next to town that has a route 66 theme.

Had a great time camping here for a week. Toured all the local areas and even went to Flagstaff for a day. Park was nice with gravel sites and full hook ups. Filled up during the weekend and thinned out during the week. Had slight rain showers there for three days and the rest of the time very nice weather. Hated to head to Phoenix with 112 degree temps. Had great breakfast with coffee and assorted foods. Will be back for at least a week or more next summer.

We stayed 2 nights to visit the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. The park is located in town along the railroad tracks so there was some train noise. The office is not in the park so after checking in there is a short drive to the park. The sites are a mixture of back-ins and P/T's. The interior roads & parking pads are paved. The interior roads were wide enough and the turns gentle enough to make maneuvering large RV's easy. The parking pads are not level. They have a pitch requiring some RV's to block under their wheels in an effort to get level. Distance establishes privacy between the sites. They have full hook ups - water, electricity (50/30/20 AMP), & sewer. The utility connections were towards the middle of the sites. The sewer connection was at ground making it easy to establish a downhill flow. There was an outside table but no fire pits at the sites. No obstructions to satellite reception. The park brochure listed about 24 cable channels provided by DIRECTV. No mention of OTA broadcast channels. Didn't try to get any broadcast channels. The park provided password protected WiFi was good for checking email and travel research surfing. Don't know about streaming. Our Verizon WiFi hotspot worked well. Didn't try the NET10 phone so don't know about the reception. The designated pet area was a gravel path along the perimeter of the park. There were waste collection stations at least two of the corners. There was sufficient area to walk dogs along the park roads. TIP: It was a long day to drive to the South Rim, deal with all of the traffic & people then drive back. The South rim was very crowded even in October. It was difficult to find parking at most of the stops after 10 am. The buffet restaurant on the hotel grounds was a nice start to our departure day. The Wild West show at 9 AM enjoyable. The show is held just before boarding begins for the trail to Grand Canyon.

We stayed here one night with our travel trailer after taking the train to and from the Grand Canyon. This facility is extremely modern, well organized and clean. We were given a paved back-in site that was almost perfectly level. Hookups were well located and modern. The restroom/showers were secured by card-lock entry, and they were modern, clean and roomy. The lady in the office was very helpful and friendly. We did use the free shuttle to get us to the train, which was a very nice feature. We did not use the park's Wi-FI or TV connections. This park's main appeals are its proximity to the Grand Canyon Railway and its very reasonable rates. However, the BNSF railroad main-line ran a few yards behind our trailer and, although train traffic was light, we were awakened several times by passing freights. Also, from my perspective, the park has an almost institutional feel, which, I realize is a plus for some and a minus for others. The train traffic cost them a star in my review. If you're looking for a good park in the Williams area and can live with the train traffic, this is a very safe bet.

The Grand Canyon Railway RV park is a nice park that is clean, big-rig friendly and convenient to Williams and the Grand Canyon Railway. The roads are all gravel and the sites are spacious. The only issue we had was with the slope of the sites. We were able to level after multiple tries using blocks on the front of our rig, but felt the park could have done a better job leveling the sites. We spoke with other folks in 40+' motorhomes and they were all dealing with the same issue. The location is great. It is just a two-block walk from the Route 66 shopping area and right next door to the Hotel and Raliway. The hotel has an indoor pool and hot tub that is a nice size and a short 5 minute walk from the park. The sound of trains does come through the park, but it never disturbed our sleep. The railway is a fun way to see the Grand Canyon without worrying about the drive and if that is part of your plans, staying in this park is definitely convenient.

Very nice RV Park! We stayed here for 2 nights with our granddaughter. The staff was very friendly and helpful, easy check-in. We have a 40 foot Fifth wheel and we had no problem pulling into or out of our site. We had site #315, which was right across from the shuttle. They offer shuttle service around their property. Pads are required under all jacks or stabilizers and the sewer hose needs to be supported on a ramp. We did not use the restrooms or laundry, but I am sure by the look of the park that they would be in tip top condition. There is a train that will take you to Grand Canyon right from their property. The train tracks are also working tracks, so there were a couple of trains that came through during the night - but it didn't bother us much, you hear them and fall back asleep. Bearizona is only a few minutes down the road from the park. We did that the first afternoon. The Grand Canyon Brewery is right across the street from the RV Park. Route 66 is only a few blocks away would be a nice walk for dinner or just to check out the sights and gift shops. We did Grand Canyon the next day. This is a very nice park, would definitely stay here again. Was not disappointed in anything in this park.
