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.
