Williams / Exit 167 / Circle Pines KOA Holiday

Bridget Schawl

We had an amazing weekend at the Williams KOA. As a mom with kids I couldn't have asked for more! From the minute we checked in and were guided to our site to the welcoming smell of waffle cones cooking as we checked out this was a wonderful and memorable experience and we cant wait to come back!! The ladies that put on all the activities did an amazing job. We had so much fun on the barrel rides and hay rack rides, and the candy flashlight hunt. The tie dye experience was incredible and the young lady that was hosting had so much knowledge and patience. I think our shirts are going to be fabulous!! The kids loved the scavenger hunt (we won and the prize basket was also super cool!) We had a blast in the pool, on the playgrounds and on the jump pad, we enjoyed wings and a delicious breakfast in the cafe, the store was like a whole shopping experience and the staff was nothing but smiles and enthusiasm!! Were looking at booking another weekend very soon thanks to such a positive experience!! Thanks Williams KOA for everything you do!! *Edited to add: We loved the Christmas in July theme!! From seeing Santa to the Christmas music playing in the shop and on the train our exoerince was 10 times better thanks to having arrived on such a fun themed weekend!!

This place is absolutely incredible with plenty to do and the staff is top notch; the experience they provided is extremely rare these days. Huge kudos to each and every single member of their staff who were all genuine, over the top friendly, helpful and created a fun environment throughout the entire weekend which made the visit particularly enjoyable. They have a lot for families to enjoy from go carts, mini golf, barrel rides, hay rides, a jumping pad, pool, spa, restaurant, hand scooped thrifty ice cream, UTV rentals, a small arcade and activities to keep the kids engaged the entire time. The weekend we were there, they had a watermelon eating contest which was a blast! The campground was in the pines, well maintained and clean. I am not normally a fan of group style organized camping but this was definitely the exception and we had a great time! To the management, keep doing what your are doing to hire and motivate. Your staff is doing a great job! We would highly recommend this KOA for anyone considering it!

I reserved the space 117 form Monday through Sunday. Instead of sitting in our chairs outside our trailer our new neighbors brought in 4 dogs which were Alaskan huskies? The dogs are very intimidating while the lady next to us was giving the dogs water.She had 4 dogs on leashes that she was trying to hold back.And when I was unloading our groceries from williams , the dog growled at me and lunged, but she had stopped the dog. Let me say that when she was at the water spigot , she was only about ten feet from my steps of my trailer. I went to the office to complain and they sent someone over there to their camp site witch was site 118 and all of a sudden, I am the problem and the dog owner is the victim. Then the Night manager came over and told me.I could move or be refunded the following day for the days I had remaining. She said she did not see a problem with this person's four dogs. And said that you could have 15 dogs in your campsite if you had them on a leash. In the meantime , I am to be intimidated every time he brings those dogs out and gives them water eight feet away from me. I feel that by paying for site from Monday to Sunday that I did not get to enjoy my vacation like everyone else in your facility. I have a puppy with me, camping. And we had to carry him every time away from the campsite, so that he could go to the bathroom up at the dog run. I have been camping up here at Circle The Pines long before the manager that you have on site was even born. I feel that she was trying in a passive way to just make it go away about the problem that we had with the dogs. She gave me 2 options, One was like I said to refund my money so now I have to give up 3 days of my vacation and the other person gets to stay or I could move my trailer to another spot and I don't know if you are aware of how I have to do this. I am a handicapped senior and I was already there before the person that brought the dogs , I don't understand the fairness in that. I can tell you that I have not got the Circle The Pines experience that I've had in the past and I will be sure to tell all of my friends about this because we have camped out here many times before, never had a bad experience like the one that I've had this time. I will be sure and tell my friends not to stay where they allow vicious Dogs in the campground. I am sad that I have to write a bad review about such a great camp spot. Miss coming here in the future.I'll be looking at other campgrounds now.

Great KOA. Some highway noise and train noise but the train was fun to hear, at least for us! The site itself was unlevel but nothing some blocks didn’t fix. We appreciated all the amenities, especially the dog run, big jump pad for kids, and playground. A tad on the expensive side but I suppose it makes sense with all the extras included and the convenient location to Bearizona and Grand Canyon.

This KOA isn't fancy but staff is fantastic, energetic and really make the experience fun. From mini golf to go cart racing to bingo, there's no short of cool things to do with the family and the environment really feels like a small community. Not the fanciest place but the restrooms are clean, the tent, wagon and teepee campsites are really cool, the shop has a ton of cool things including ice cream by the scoop. Just a good time here!
