Grand Canyon Railway RV Park

Let’s start with the positives easy access,good water pressure at site,close to the train depot and good cell phone coverage. Now for the negatives tight sites, no grass in the park, not dog friendly at all, the bathhouse was in bad shape no hot water and all lavatories were closed. If you like camping in a parking lot save money and park at Walmart.

Beautiful park. Clean. Nice facilities. Laundry, showers, toilets, dog trails, paved pull in spot, picnic table at spot. Very walkable to downtown Williams and the train. Lots of restaurants nearby. Safeway walk or drive, just couple blocks. Lots of rigs, big and small. Brewery next door. I want to go back for a longer stay. RV checkin' was fast and friendly. Only con, no large shade trees yet. Planted, but not grown up. This RV spot is near everything you need. We camped at Grand Canyon Railway RV Park in a Fifth Wheel. WiFI hit/miss, not great. Train nearby, so be aware of train whistle.

SUPER fast check in, a highly well-oiled machine in this department. Located within walking distance to shops, restaurants etc. Clean. Paved sites. Cable TV. Shaded BBQ area with natural gas plumbed grills for your use.

Many back-in sites are literally next to the train tracks which have sporadic freight trains running all hours of day and night. Outside of paved site drives it's all lava rock. The 'dog run' is a sharp gravel trail running around the park (no grass). The hotel's pool water was unacceptable to us so we didn't use it (very cloudy & smelled of heavily used up chlorine). TONS off street legal off road toys coming in/out of park nowadays. Back 10+ years ago when I'd used the park this was not the case.

T-Mobile / Sprint & AT&T were all but unusable the entire weekend we were there. Wifi was decent though.

Would stay here again but I'd look around as well.

This is a very nice place to stop over or stay. Full hookups. Access to facilities from the adjacent hotel including indoor pool and hot tub were nice. I think the main draw is you can take the train to the Grand Canyon. (Which sounded really fun). Two things to be aware of. First, this is basically an all blacktop RV site. Meaning it’s a very large parking lot with many campers in it. That’s not a negative, just be aware. Second, it’s a solid hour drive to the Grand Canyon. So, again, be aware.

I recommend this campground to anyone going through Williams, AZ. The check-in was easy, the lady working the desk was kind and helpful. We loved how close we were to downtown Williams/Route 66. Walking to Dairy Queen each night was a plus! The paved sites are great for keeping the dust down and we appreciated all of the amenities. My kids enjoyed the playground and indoor pool. We ate dinner one night across the street at the Grand Canyon Brewery with some friends that came to town. It had great service and yummy food! The Grand Canyon South Rim entrance was about an hour north, and we absolutely loved every minute of our experience there (the hike back up from the canyon was tough, but well worth it). It was nice to have a hot tub to come back to at the campground. The only negatives are that the sites don't have much room between them (which was ok since we spent most of our time exploring) and there are trains that go by from time to time, so bring ear plugs if that bothers you. It wasn't that loud for our family. We slept just fine. What an enjoyable campground!

We loved the train ride to the Canyon. There’s a grocery, brewery, restaurants, gift shop, and sightseeing all within walking distance. Check-in is smooth and they have a nice store with plenty of supplies at the office. The sites are a little close together but level and everything works well. The laundry and bath facilities are nice and appear well maintained. We didn’t use the showers but the laundry machines worked great and there’s a change machine on site. There is security that drives through the park regularly throughout the day. There are very active train tracks nearby. We love trains so this didn’t bother us but could bother some.

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.

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.

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.

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.
