I liked it here and would go back again. The only reason I didn’t give five stars is the people in some permanent sites directly across from us were a bit sketchy with a very, very loud vehicle that woke me up a couple times one night and then they had a very loud fight I could have lived without. It didn’t go on long enough to call anyone but was annoying and disconcerting. We were in the first row so farther back the better to avoid that. Other than that sites were spacious (for a Journey KOA), level and well kept. It was close to the National park as well as Winslow which were two things we were interested in while passing through the area. Very dog friendly.

Very dusty, all gravel. RV could not level on sloped site, inconsistent wifi. Left two phone messages with no return call. Sewer connection was too high to get snug connection to sewer drain from RV. $60/ per night Check in felt like they did not care.

When spending $50 per night to camp at a private campground, I expect four things: - Power at the site; - Internet connectivity; - Laundry facilities; and - Clean bathrooms The Holbrook/Petrified Forest KOA in Holbrook, AZ delivered on only one of these four essentials (that being electric power) – and hence the 1 star rating. The internet connection was weak and slow, nearly half of the machines in the laundry room weren’t working and the Men’s bathroom wasn’t cleaned during the two days we stayed at the facility (as evidenced by the used Q-Tips and Band-Aid found on the floor in one of the shower stalls.) The only other thing going for the place was that there was plenty of hot water. Based on some of the other reviews I saw online, I wasn’t expecting much from this campground. But the Holbrook/Petrified Forest KOA didn’t even meet my low expectations. Unfortunately, there are very few other camping options close to Petrified Forest/Painted Desert National Park. So I guess they feel that they have a captive audience. But really? How can they justify the rate they charge? We've stayed at MANY other state/municipal campgrounds across the U.S. that are much nicer and considerably less expensive

Cabin was clean and had everything we needed: bedding, towels, fridge freezer and space heater. Manager was very nice & helpful. Property was clean and quiet. The location is very convenient for day trips to Grand Canyon, Petrified Forrest and other beautiful spots! I'd absolutely stay here again if I was passing through.

Was a little nervous to stay here because of previous reviews, but I enjoyed my time here. Got a campsite for tent only, but we have a truck tent so we weren't able to camp there (no place to back up) but the front desk was really understanding and nice. They easily changed our booking and we ended up staying in a cabin instead. The cabins were nice and had a microwave, fridge, and mini heater. Would love to stay here again.
