We had the same experience with Passport America reservations as did previous reviewers. We called in and clearly identified ourselves as PA members and were told there was space. When we arrived the clerk denied we identified ourselves as PA members and offered the FMCA rate. We told him we'd go elsewhere and he gave us a "PA rate" ($4/night more than PA directory stated) at cash only (no checks). Spaces are fairly tight, but no problem with 40' class A and tow. Scenery is spectacular, and the proximity to the Grand Canyon is unbeatable. We'll stay here again provided if get an understanding of PA rates when making reservations. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Fantastic scenic view, discount on gas, wonderful people and nice big spots. It was our first night out in our RV and this park helped make it a pleasant experience. I would stay there again! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Strange thing happened and our first experience with this after 6 months of traveling. Called out of the Passport America book ahead of arrival regarding availability and was curtly told "no vacancies". Drove there anyway and found about 40 empty sites and the man was more than willing to have us there. Only offered Good Sam discount at double the price of PA. Not sure why that happened. The park is ok for the overnight stay. Red lava rock and pretty level sites with nice views. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The atmosphere is Route 66 and the train car and cabooses are an attraction. The laundry and bathrooms were clean and nice: but there were only 3 toilets and two of them were in a unit with a shower and sink. So if people had to use the toilet there was a long, long line in the mornings and in the evening. We asked for a lot close to the bath house because of my limited mobility but they did not put us in a spot that was right across from the bath house and that spot remained open. We were already set up when we saw that no one was placed in that spot for the night. The pool was enclosed but our grandsons returned from the pool reporting that it was so dirty and green that they would not go into it. A smart decision by 15 and a 13 year-old boys. There were campgrounds closer to Grand Canyon but we had already reserved our space before we learned that our friends were not going to be able to meet us there. We would have lost a night's paid-in-advance space if we had chosen to stay at another campground. It was about 50 miles to the Canyon. We would rather have stayed in Trailer Village inside the Park but reservations have to be made so far ahead we could not get in there for the second night. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This was a family vacation. We had people in tents, rv's and even a motel room. The rv site was on a slope and it was dangerous coming out of the rv because of the slope. Also I couldn't believe that having a picnic table made for a deluxe site. There were were lots of weeds. You were expected to put your tent on lava rocks. I thought the motel rooms were very expensive for what they had to offer. The outside light was out and we asked a few times if it could be fixed. I was abruptly told the management was told about it and it wasn't fixed for a whole week. I would think they would worry about safety. I was a little surprised by the attitude of the people. It's sad because it could be a real nice place. I used to be in the hospitality business so I was really taken back by the attitudes. Sad to say, but one of the least impressive places we've stayed when it comes to accomodations and hospitality. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park is located with sites going up the hillside so it provides a beautiful view for watching the sunset. In spite of it being on a hill, the sites were surprisingly level. Bathrooms are clean and private but as someone else mentioned, you end up walking up hill one way or the other depending on where your site is. Sites don't have fire pits or individual BBQ grills, but they do have grills located elsewhere for use. Wifi was spotty, but we weren't in camp much so it wasn't a big deal. The hotel rooms aren't much to speak of for the price according to someone that was with us. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The previous posts are quite accurate however I'd like to add this park is completely open to anyone who might venture in off the road. There was no visible security observed. If you possess a Concealed Carry permit, have passed the requirements including a FBI background, fingerprint check and strict weapons training you might want to look at another park in the area as you will not be welcome here. No, I was not challenged by management nor did I make any issues of their policy. I am just reporting what other reviewers have overlooked. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Very nice RV park: with paved roads and sites, gravel between sites, no tables. 65-foot long pull-through sites. The utilities worked fine. Can use the hotel pool and exercise room. Verizon air card worked well, didn't try the Wi-Fi We camped here in a Motorhome.

Good campground: has good Wi-Fi, is easy on/off I-40 and had plenty of room for our 45' motorhome. No dust, no dirt. Good stop-off for an overnight, or stay and visit the Grand Canyon. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I think this campground has been reopened or recently renovated. All facilities are new at this writing (pool, office, dog run, utilities connections, cabins). The roads and sites are all rock. The sites are not as level as they might be, and some effort is needed to get level. We were in need of a campsite en route to the Grand Canyon, called at 8AM and the manager was very helpful in getting us in early. He also was helpful with information for the town of Williams. The campground is handy if driving on I-40 and you wish to go to the Grand Canyon (50 miles north). They have a nice fenced dog run also. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park has a long way to go to be in the list of best parks. Cabins are new and nice, showers are new and nice even though we didn't use them. I did look them over though. They had a fire 2 years ago and they still don't have their office and store rebuilt. The pool was not open either. The dump station is only accessible when you pull in so if you need it when you are leaving you have to drive around the campground twice. Water pressure was lousy. We were told that they have to truck in all their water as there is no water table where they are. The WiFi was weak also. This may be because there is no office right now so maybe we were lucky to have WiFi at all. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The staff seemed very friendly when we checked in, and the escort that showed us to our site in the dark helped my husband hook up, which was nice. Their brochure showed a "community campfire" area, but nothing was happening when we were there. We saw parts of a new miniature golf course leaning up against a barn - but it is not installed yet. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Dry camping at its best! Big sites with lots of room between spaces. Lots of pull throughs: mostly shady with a few in the open. Sites have tables and campfire rings, and easy access. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Overall not a bad place for a stopover. A few permanents throughout the park and as the previous poster stated it sits across the street from an apartment house and the park isn't fenced, but it appears security isn't an issue. Very level sites and the cable and the Wi-Fi worked great, also pet friendly. It didn't bother me but my wife wasn't real keen on the surroundings. Not sure if we would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We’ve had the pleasure of staying at Railside RV Ranch three times now. We wanted a safe, convenient location in Williams away from the hustle and bustle of Flagstaff for our 38-foot motorhome while we explored the local attractions. We wanted comforts of home like free Wi-Fi at our site, great satellite TV and cell phone reception, strong water pressure, stable 50 amp electricity, and full hook-ups on this trip although park offers partial hook-up sites. The restrooms, showers, and laundry are immaculate (cleaned and stocked twice daily) and safe. Rates are comparable to other area RV parks, but it’s the aesthetics that sets it apart from the rest. Open all-year-round, the park’s shade trees encourage relaxation and rejuvenation. The great layout and spacious sites makes it easy to navigate a big rig around the Park. Unlike other parks graveled roads and gravel sites minimize dust. Some sites also have a concrete pad and picnic table. A favorite destination we’ll return to again and again! Conveniently situated on Route 66 between Chino Valley to the west, Flagstaff to the east, Grand Canyon to the north, and Camp Verde to the south. The park is 5 minutes from the Grand Canyon Railway Station, Dairy Queen, Safeway, restaurants, and banking and 20 minutes from Camping World at Belmont on I-40. Nearby attractions include the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, Bill Williams Mtn, Route 66, Flagstaff (all that a city has to offer!) and many Indian ruins. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nicely laid out park. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The Grand Canyon Railroad train that went by twice a day was an attraction. Pretty cool to see an old, working train full of people. This park has no perimeter fencing, the side we were on was separated from an apartment complex by only a sidewalk and a street. Not really an issue, but different. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

I love the heated swimming pool and the activities for the kids during the summer. Very very clean. A little crowded, probably because it is just plain nice! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The campground is in the pine trees, so it was a beautiful location to stay while visiting the Grand Canyon. The friendly staff made us feel welcome and helped direct us to the local sights. Although we were in a motorhome, we took a look at the cute cabins they have. They will be perfect when we come back with friends that don't have an RV. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Our experience @ Circle Pines KOA did not warrant a return visit. We had heard bad things about KOA's in Arizona and Circle Pines pretty much confirmed most of it. This place is not anything special. Is this place for sale? We saw a real-estate sign and wondered if that might explain our experience with this place. The woman that helped check us in didn't explain anything - nothing about the amenities of the KOA, the activities -- NOTHING! I overheard some of the other staff going over everything with the other people that were checking in, but our boring blah woman said nothing. When I asked her about the activities/amenities, she gave me the shortest answers possible to just get rid of me. We were so unfortunate to always get this woman again and again every time we went back into that store/office. It made for a terrible impression about customer service at this place. We also went into the store once after it had rained a lot and our spot was slippery and muddy. We were hoping we could move to a less muddy spot. The KOA manager quickly disappeared as soon as she heard us mention that we wanted to move - like she didn't want to deal with us - and again left us to have to deal with the awful customer service lady that, of course, said they were full and couldn't move us and explained it in as few words as possible hoping to get rid of us. In addition to awful customer service, this KOA is right off Interstate 40 and right near train tracks, so you hear the freeway traffic "ALL THE TIME" and the trains aren't too bad, but you do hear their horns. Plus this place seems old and buildings seem run-down. The playground equipment is neglected and the sandbox is more like a dirt and weed pit. No one enforces the rules regarding young children running around by themselves, so you end up with some pretty scary teens running around intimidating the younger children, jumping around and abusing all the playground equipment that is obviously meant for younger children and of course, no parents anywhere in sight to correct the out-of-control teens. I took my toddlers to the playground and literally stood in between them and some out-of-control teens that were throwing the swings around with all their might for fear that one of the swings might break off and go flying toward my children. These kids were fighting and abusing the playground equipment and staff just walked by and said nothing. Meanwhile parents were nowhere to be found. This is not completely the KOA's fault, but I'm sure there are some parents that love coming to this place because they know that none of the staff will say anything and they can just cut their little monsters loose to go terrorize the place and give them peace. If the parents knew that the KOA had a no tolerance policy for this sort of thing, they wouldn't let their kids run wild for others to take care of and to terrorize other guests. If most KOA's are like this one, we're really not interested in staying at a KOA anytime in the near future and definitely not interested in returning to Circle Pines. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
