Had a cabin with a bathroom. Great stat will be back 10/19/2021

The people that work there are so nice and helpful. 10/19/2021

Nice clean bathrooms. Very small laundry facilities for such a large campground. Two dryers & 1 washer out of service didn’t help. Very nice camp store! 10/19/2021

Nice camping there 10/19/2021

Had problem with cable when I got there and maintenance man took care of me and did a great job. Stayed two nights and would stay there again. 10/19/2021

Good place to stay for a couple of days while seeing the Painted Desert/Petrified Forest. Facility was clean. Staff friendly & helpful. 10/18/2021

It was good 10/18/2021

we have stayed there a few times and it is always superb we love staying here the beds are very comfortable and the people are always very nice we stay here anytime we travel thru arizona. wonderful place 10/18/2021

Convient overnight stay, nice site, nice grounds will stay again 10/18/2021

Friendly staff, easy in and out, all sites have trees and no lack of shade, general store at front entrance. Privacy fence around perimeter. The only down side if is actually is the campground is in town but that was not a deterrent for us... 10/18/2021

It was a good spot to stop for a night. Could use a little clean up otherwise ok. 10/18/2021

The only thing better would be a bigger dog park and not locked at 10pm 10/18/2021

First time at a KOA … I think they are too expensive. I usually pick other camp grounds or do boon Docking. The sites are very close together also. But, This campground was conveniently located to the Petrified forest, so we stayed there. 10/17/2021

Our stay was very pleasant and relaxing. We were on our way home to California from PA and VA and needed a couple days to stop. Park organized, clean, and staff very nice. Camp spots had plenty of room between sights... 10/17/2021

Petrified Forest National Park including portions of the Painted Desert

A land of contrasts-- Petrified Forest National Park provides visitors views to the beginning of dinosaurs, prehistoric peoples and modern wildlife. The remains of an ancient forest lie scattered across northeastern Arizona. Fossils of tall trees, strange ferns, large reptiles, small sharks and early dinosaurs provide clues to life 225 million years ago. Prehistoric people settled in the area about 6,000 years ago. Petrified wood provided a natural resource that could be used or traded. Evidence still exists showing the civilization was in the area in 1400 AD.
