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!

The staff in the front office was very helpful and friendly. My family of 5 got ice cream and coffee. The barista Maddy was very nice and the coffee’s were delicious. We ate at the cafe several days and the workers there were awesome. Michael the pizza maker was exceptional not only was the pizzas delicious but he came out and checked on our family as we were eating. We highly recommend the coffees, ice cream and pizza (all the food was good). This resort was so much fun. The train ride, hayride, indoor pool, mini golf, go carts and utv rental’s gave us lots of fun memories and filled our days with excitement and Joy. We will definitely make this a destination for our family and friends for years to come.

This KOA has so many amenities going for it and will probably be the most memorable KOA we’ve stayed at so far 🌲🚐✨ We’ve stayed at several KOAs over the years, but during our big trip through Utah, this one truly felt like real camping nestled under the pine trees in the forest. We enjoyed it so much that we actually extended our stay an extra night for a total of 4 nights ❤️ The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming throughout our stay. I used the laundry room, which was clean, adequate, and actually a relaxing place to sit for a bit. One thing I really appreciated was the layout of the main amenities area — the laundry, bathrooms, showers, pool, game room, store, and restaurant are all conveniently located together, yet still feel separate and thoughtfully designed rather than overcrowded. One thing that REALLY impressed me as an RV owner was the hookup setup 👏 Because of how my travel trailer is configured, parking can sometimes be complicated. My electrical and water hookups are toward the back of the trailer while my sewer connection is about 6 feet in front of the axle on a 34-foot unit, so placement usually has to be strategic. At this KOA, they had multiple sewer hookup options along the site — something I’ve honestly never seen before! That was incredibly impressive. Whether you have a dual-tank setup or need flexibility for trailer positioning like I do, this campground clearly understands RV functionality and setup challenges. The campground itself was peaceful and quiet during our stay, though we were there the first week of May before the busier season kicked in 🌲☀️ We thoroughly enjoyed relaxing there after exploring the area. We visited the Grand Canyon, which was about a 70–75 minute drive away, made several trips into Williams, and even took a day trip to Sedona. Unfortunately, we were a little early in the season for the go-karts, so we missed out on that, but we did enjoy the pool and spent some relaxing evenings in the hot tub 🏊‍♂️🔥 Overall, this KOA absolutely exceeded our expectations. Between the forest setting, thoughtful layout, amazing hookups, and friendly atmosphere, we would definitely stay here again! 🌟

Loved this campground! First off, the staff were top notch. We explored transferring our reservation from the Grand Canyon KOA to this one just a few miles away (mainly because the pools were closed at the Grand Canyon KOA). A newer employee, Dan, was very sympathetic and reeled in help from Mike, the owner. Mike was super helpful at helping to navigate this transfer and friendly the entire time at out annoying request. Separately, the pool and hot tubs were excellent! Great after a big day of hiking in the canyon. The area was clean and tidy with easy access to restrooms and showers afterwards. Same as our site which was convenient and quiet. The gift shop was excellent too, offering unique gifts as well as some beverage necessities. We played mini gold for $3/person and while the course was not a main attraction, was a lot of fun for our family. The go-carts were unfortunately not open or else there would have been more fun to be had. And lastly, the laundry machines were easy to use - and all digital! I had never used a system like that. Very innovative. Overall, we wished we had more time to spend at this KOA. One of the best campgrounds we visited.

We stayed here for three nights as we visited the Grand Canyon and Sedona and it’s right in the middle! Easy drive to both. Loved the little town of Williams and Route 66 as well. Campground hosts were fabulous, excellent store, facilities and amenities (especially for kids!). Site was decent and all worked well. Loved the on site food truck for breakfast! Would definitely stay again.

My family of 4 had the best time. So many things for the kids to do. The staff were incredibly patient and friendly. We did crafts, rode go carts, rode the train and hayride, jumped on the pillow and more. It’s an incredible place. Only downside was the cleanliness of the cabin. The floor and bed frames were icky & sticky. Also, there is a food truck with yummy food but not many options, no place to sit down and eat, and it was pricey. But overall, GREAT TIME, we will be back!!

While passing through Arizona, we wanted to explore some of historic Route 66 and discovered this fantastic KOA near town. They offer unique covered wagons and TeePee’s for rent. Plus, there are fun activities like go-karts, mini-golf, and a bounce pad for the kids! I highly recommend this clean and quiet spot for a great stay.

Brian, or as our 5 year old would call him Mr. B! Made this trip amazing for our son and all the other kids. Our son looked forward to seeing Mr B every morning to tell him the the wiggle train was coming. The staff was friendly and helpful! We are looking forward to booking here again same time next year. Thank you for being such a fun kid friendly campground!

Sites are wide and well laid out. Staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. The groundskeepers guide you to your site so you don’t have to find it on your own. Shout out to Miss Patty for being so welcoming. My only suggestion would be to have an ATM or card reader on site for the laundry. We had to go back into town to get cash to use in the coin machines in the laundry room after the office had closed for the day.

Obsessed with this place!! Will definitely be back. It’s very catered towards children and my four year old son had a BLAST. He said he wanted to move there forever and live there lol. But the lady in the arts and crafts area was AMAZING with children as well as the gentleman running the train and hay ride. We stayed in the tipi and it was very roomy and had electricity which we weren’t expecting. The place is a little pricey for a campground but well worth the money with all the extra amenities for kids. They also play a movie at night and have free popcorn. I can’t say enough good things about this place!!

The location is off a main highway #40. A lot of traffic noise, but not too bad. Wolf was very nice. He personally saw that everyone at the camp ground was happy. All the staff that we encountered were very nice. The cafe has great food. The only thing I would recommend is clean the pool and pool are better.
