RV park, not a hotel. The KOA staff were very friendly and helpful. Excellent service. Their meal offerings for dinner and breakfast were excellent. Will definitely stay here again.

We had a private patio site and it was awesome! Our whole family really loved having a private space to hang out together. We loved having the propane fire feature and although we didn't use the grill this time, it was a great feature. The patio furniture was comfortable for all of us and the whole space was lovely. Proximity to Petrified Forest NP was great. We would definitely return here again if in the area!

We have been on the road now for 10 days, this is the most expensive place we have stayed and also the worst. There is potential to be nice but it appears run down and dirty. We are in a motorhome and have a pull thru site with a paver patio, furniture and grill. The edges of the patio are broken down and falling apart. The cushions for the furniture are in a deck Bo’s that has broken hinges and the previous occupants left the dog crap bag in front of it. The grill was also dirty. The Wi-Fi signal is weak and very slow. The 4G LTE service worked better. Cell service is sporadic. I would not stay again. I would go on to Winslow, AZ and stay in similar conditions but pay half the price.

We stayed 9 days in Site 57 which is a pull through and has a private patio with pavers, patio table, furniture, fire pit, and grill, along with privacy fences on each side, plus tall privacy shrubs. We were treated very well the entire time we were there. Park was very clean and very quiet. I need to give a huge shout out to the maintenance man Michael W. We had some issues with our rig and he was so helpful multiple days. He checked on us many times and really assisted us out of a bit of a jam we were in. So glad he is on staff because his attention to problem solving and brain storming solutions for our situation was really helpful. Bathrooms were cleaned and maintained. Office has a bit of everything and anything you could ask for from clothes to food to gifts and RV supplies. The site was long enough for our 40' RV and then there was enough room to park our toad right next to the RV and not block the patio. Highly recommend.

This place was amazing! We stayed in a deluxe cabin and it was very clean. It had great heaters and 2 tvs! I would recommend bringing your own shampoo and body wash because the closest store was Safeway and they were $12-$16 each! Safeway had EVERYTHING you needed though. Definitely enjoyed our stay!

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.
