If you're planning on going to the Petrified Forest, this KOA is definitely the place to be. If they stick you at the south side of the RV park, there's very few trees and no shade and while they have some wind breaks... the sites are super exposed to the wind. Also, pretty close to I-40 so if are sensitive to truck noise... worth knowing when you check in and request a different spot. The little Chuckwagon was a really nice touch for breakfast and dinner! Being able to get some hot food after a long day of traveling. The lady at the front desk, however, was odd. It was kind of like talking to a statue with no response. Thankfully the rest of the park staff were pretty nice. Overall, 4 out of 5.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The coin laundry was convenient, equipped with multiple machines. The pool area was clean and spacious, with ample seating. The playground was enjoyable, although it would have been better if it had been covered. Nevertheless, it still provided a fun experience. The cabin was aesthetically pleasing. The only issue we encountered was the water pressure, which was low and difficult to regulate. The hot and cold water were also hard to control. Despite this minor inconvenience, we would definitely choose to stay here again. Every other place we stayed afterward fell short of our expectations..

This campground gives you everything you need. Good location to Petrified Forest NP, clean, hot showers and bathrooms, and a great camping kitchen that you can do your dishes in! The office staff was very accommodating to us because we needed to leave our camper, go to the NP and then come back to pick it up. We were able to secure a late check out for a small fee. The entrance is super cute and welcoming by the way! I would recommend and come back to this campground

It would have been 5 stars, but the bathrooms need some work. The shower head to too close to the walls so you can't really stand back to shower like you would at home, water pressure is lacking as well. It was decently clean, and had hand soap and paper towels so that was good. The pull through space was awesome, even had a gas grill we used and beautiful trees and privacy fence to separate us from other campers. Overall, worth the stay!

I booked while driving straight off the website. Stayed one night in a cabin with a bathroom. We arrived after hours but our key was at the night check in. Grounds were clean and quite. Excellent view of the stars. This location is close to the highway but it was quite. Cabin was really clean. Bed linens were nice and comfortable. Bathroom was clean. Water pressure was good. Good value considering what local hotels wanted for a night stay. Local restaurants and fast food is minutes away.
