Price paid reflects weekly rate for a back-in spot with AAA discount.
Well laid-out park within walking distance from the Grand Canyon Brewery, the train depot, downtown Williams, and Safeway.
Sites are decently level, asphalt, and long enough to suit most big rigs. Spacing isn't amazing, but you'll have enough room to sit at the picnic table appointed to each site or set out your lawn chairs to gawk at everyone else.
Staying here will give you the opportunity to experience the industrial man's alarm clock, aka, a daily train that gives a nice 'toot-toot' at 4:45-5:00am every morning. Once you're up, you'll get to enjoy the semi-frequent passings of trains throughout the day, which I find awesome.
The park offers both pull-through and back in spots. Not many long-termers here - it's definetely a transient place. There are plenty of 1-800-rent-a-rigs, and lots of kids. The 1-800 rigs provide both entertainment and occasional concern, while the kids provide chalk-art beautification and the occasional shrieks of delight or terror.
Central in the park is a pavilion featuring several propane grills for community use, as well as a 'fake' firepit (the kind you press a button and get a fire) for all to enjoy. Behind that is a clean laundry room ($1.50 wash/$1.25 dry) and bathrooms with lukewarm showers.
Staying at the RV park allows you access to the Grand Canyon Railway Hotel's pool, which is across the road behind the RV check-in lobby. If you've read this far, please note that the RV check-in lobby is across 7th street from the RV park, which seemed to confuse many folks. There is a nice pull-in area there to check in before heading over to the park.
Park WiFi is usable for surfing the web, but don't expect to stream over it without some serious buffering.

We stayed 3 nights here, unfortunately we were COLD! We don’t do much cold camping and we didn’t care for it too much as nobody comes out of their trailers. Part of why we camp is meeting people. The park was full of trailers but was a ghost town. I think some small fire pits would make this park much nicer. We literally hung out around our space heater after we put our kid to sleep. Because of all this, the park is extremely quiet.
Train into the canyon was AWESOME! Bearizona was cool too and we are regular pass holders for the San Diego zoo. Back in spots are right up against the train. The train honks at 5:30-6:00 am as it passes the park, everyday.

The brewery next door has some great beer but the food was expensive for general bar food. We would definitely stay here again.

We stayed here for four nights in the middle of June. The weather was nice, but a little on the warm side as a heat wave was passing through the state. The location is relatively scenic with shallow mountains covered in pine trees. The RV park itself is basically a paved parking lot with lava rock landscaping, however the streetlamp lit corridor is charming at night.
The check-in process was fast and smooth, but it is of note that the check-in location is across the street from the RV park itself, and I don't think they communicate that very well. I only noticed where it was by looking at the satellite view before arriving. Many guests pulled in to the RV park and had to circle around back out to the check-in building. The building has a little shop with drinks, ice, and other essentials. An on site dog boarding kennel is available as well.
The park is quiet except for the freight trains that roll by from time to time (including the middle of the night). It is to be expected though, since railway is right in the name of the RV park. That said, they are LOUD and there is a crossing right near the park, so expect horn blasts to jerk you out of your slumber.
The park is within walking distance to the Route 66 downtown area with shops and eateries. There are a few breweries in town, with the dog friendly Grand Canyon Brewing Co. being a short jaunt across the parking lot from the RV park.
Connectivity was actually really good here. The WiFi, while not lightning speed, was reliable. My wife and I were able to work from here for our four day stay with no problem. I was able to stream Netflix in HD using T-Mobile, and Verizon worked just as well.
I can't comment on the laundry facilities, as we didn't need them, but the buildings and grounds were clean and well maintained/patrolled. Access to the neighboring hotel pool/spa is provided.
Overall, this was a great location to stay and we would come back here again if the opportunity presented itself.

We pulled into Williams early to avoid a storm front. Even though the RV park was about a third empty the office would not even talk about checking us in until after 11:00am and would prefer we wait until the posted 1:00pm check in time. I fail to see the logic in this, since it’s not like a hotel where they need to clean the bathroom and change the sheets.
The campground is essentially a large paved parking lot with full hook-ups. There is a picnic table at each space and just enough space to put out an awning. The park is clean and well maintained and we were happy to see the resort and town had ample places to recycle. On the downside, the spaces are separated by small strips of crushed red volcanic rock. During the ensuing wind, rain, and snow storm our coach, car, and bikes were coated with a nasty red grit. Ick.
There is a laundry and shower facility. The campground office/store/pet resort is located across the street next to the playground. Camping at the resort gives you access to the hotel amenities including the pool and hottub. They also offer a free shuttle that will transport you around the resort property. The campground and hotel are associated with the Grand Canyon Railway. We took the railway to the Grand Canyon south rim for a daytrip. A tad expensive, but an enjoyable experience.
Williams is a touristy little town that bills itself as the “Gateway to the Grand Canyon” as well as its location on the historic Route 66. Lots of shopping and places to eat including two craft breweries. There is also a Safeway within walking distance of the campground.
As others noted, you are parked right next to the train tracks so expect some noise.
Our daily rate with the PA discount was $24.50 which made it reasonable.
We had 3 bars of Verizon 4G. The park’s Wifi worked intermittently, sometimes great and then dropping internet service for no apparent reason.

The rate quoted above is with the Passport America discount! Thank you to them for offering!
We arrived on a clear but cloudy day! Getting to check in was done with our GPS which brought us right to the right place and store. I am sure without that it might have been a challenge.
Pull through areas were fine with hot top. Close sites but clean and adequate. Hook ups well organized and spaced.
We wished we had a chance to use the hot tub and indoor pool facilities at the hotel nearby but a bit of a walk. We did use the laundry and shower facilities - clean and adequate.
We had a dog - she was fine with the gravel but not a lot of great places to walk her - but maybe we missed something.
The store was fine - lots of things to look at and collectible stuff - all the touristy things.
The second day we headed to the park. Great ride, but in going through the gate they told us snow was forecast! Get in, get out was their advisory and so we did.
Got back to the park and we had already registered for that night so we stayed. We put our car on the dolly and were ready to boot scoot in the AM. If they say snow if forecast, pull in your slides!
Got up at 7A and were buried in snow. We were not winterized and knew we had to get out. Shoveled as best we could - did what we had to to close our slides (duh - we had heard the forecast) and called the park office at 8A asking, if they were going to plow and when. Our lot would be first on their list. And that is Exactly what they did! Great place!
So, we were ready to go when they got us plowed out - we hit the road at 9AM - just 1 hour later than we wanted to leave anyway and picked our way to Flagstaff and then on down to Tucson. It took a bit more time but was doable and fun!
Our thanks to the staff at Grand Canyon RV Park for helping us - knowing we needed to get to warmer weather with our rig!
We hope to come back and visit again!
Oh any yes - this is a park along RR tracks and trains go by - there is noise but folks this is the noise of Freedom and what made our Nation! Enjoy it = as in many areas of the country it has gone totally silent! We LOVE it!
Also we visited and took advantage of the discount of the Brewery across the street! Awesome in our opinion. Another reason we want to some back!

Stayed one night at the Grand Canyon Railway RV Park. Arriving after hours is a bit confusing, but essentially start at the attached hotel to check in then work your way to the RV park from there. You must check in to get a key to the facilities.
Sites are close together, separated by gravel. Nice laundry, bathroom and shower facilities, plus the bonus of gas grills in the common area. A small dog area with on-site boarding services. I wasn't able to check out the camp store as I left before it opened. Pool and hot tub are at the hotel, a short drive away. A brewery is walking distance, across the street.
Park is directly on the train tracks, as others have mentioned, but I only heard one train go past early in the morning (and it goes past feet away - it's loud!).
Price represents Passport America price. I was surprised Passport America was accepted as this is a Xanterra (Park Service concessionaire) resort.

Most recent stay was 05-05-16 [I’m late with submitting my review] ~ We camp in a "Tear Drop” style RV only 15' long w/o toilet or shower ~ plus we like to eat outdoors using the picnic table and set up our dining fly for sun and weather protection and thus rely on condition of campgrounds facilities and being nearby our site ~ so our critique is focused in that area. Some pictures already posted of general RV Park + the sites, so I’ll focus on the restroom.
PROS there is a solid picnic table at your site to use. Facility is newer and modern and all sites level with full hookups. Restroom/shower/laundry fully tiled floors and walls and up to date, with roomy private shower stalls + includes separate changing area with wall mounted bench and plenty of wall hooks for your stuff. Hot water and good pressure. Sink/vanity area is roomy and also modern. Convenient to Grand Canyon National Park and close to town for shopping needs.
CONS narrow “green-belt” strip between sites with no privacy. Strip too narrow, could not set up our dinning fly over the picnic table, no place to anchor tie down straps to keep it up (very windy during our stay), and could not cook outdoors with camp stove. Faucets at sink/vanity area are automatic push button with slow no low pressure spray similar to what you might find in restaurant restroom, not convenient for normal bathroom use. No wall hooks or wall shelves for your stuff – gotta place on floor top of vanity which can be wet and messy. Glad they had paper towels for that. Park is alongside train tracks; you will hear the whistle blowing

Even though the park is next to the train tracks, and several trains run by daily and during the night, I have to give this park five stars. We like trains so it wasn't a bother. It is definitely the nicest park in Williams - we checked them all. After being on dirt and gravel for a few weeks, it was wonderful to be on pavement for over a week. We actually extended our stay a few days. Walking distance to lots of eateries, breweries, galleries and shops. Super clean bathhouse and laundry. Nice store stays open until 8 PM. Shuttle from park to train depot and kennel on-site make this the perfect spot to stay in Williams. WiFi worked most of the time, all amenities in excellent condition. Pads required for all jack stands - you can borrow some from the office. We paid $20/night for a full week, and they discounted 20% for our additional two nights.

The park has laundry that can be accessed only with a card where there is also a machine for change. Didn't use the restrooms but they appeared to have showers in there. There is a snack machine and an outside covered area to sit and bbq. The park has pretty fast wifi and the mountains behind the park are gorgeous! Great overnight or longterm spot.
