Saturday night: the exact same experience plus a loud generator now. I'm giving a second star because if it weren't for the humans around us ruining this experience, our spot C38 was really well shaded and large.

Added plus -- there's a free shuttle to and from the train station! There was also a free barbeque (donations accepted but not required) on Saturday for Memorial Day. Beef and pork, corn, green beans, and even dessert! We understand they do this on every holiday! We had a flat tire on our camper on the morning we were scheduled to leave, and we were unable to get the lug nuts off to change the tire. Two campground employees noticed our struggle and stopped to help. They had the tools to loosen the lug nuts and then stayed to help us finish changing the tire. Couldn't have done it without their help!

We came here for the first time mid June with a group of friends and really loved the campsite…read more They have large and clean porta potties available with fully stocked toilet paper. Unfortunately, we couldn't have a fire due to fire restrictions. However, we were able to bring our own gas-powered fire pit. I'm glad my husband checked the website a few days prior to our reservation, otherwise we wouldn't have known. It would be nice to get informed by email if you have a reservation about fire restrictions, because if we didn't bring our blackstone to make our food, I would have been very upset. Before arriving, I did some research on the black bear shack that our friends told us about, but sadly found out they are not at this campground anymore. The road coming in is extremely bumpy and rough. When leaving the campground, I recommend going left instead of right. Our cars needed a very good car wash after! The campground is very beautiful. The weather was perfect; in the 50s at night and high 70s in the afternoon. I would definitely camp here again.

The rv sites are really packed in together, and the tent sites are in rocks, no shade and also packed in. Our glamping tent was wonderful. We called it our Harry Potter tent. It was nice to have linens already together, a mini fridge, storage, lighting, and chairs. It was a great setup. The cabins are also nice especially the larger ones with bathrooms. The shared bathrooms were clean. The single shower bathroom combos were nice for privacy. The activity director had fun and kept everyone involved in a putting challenge, flashlight hunt, bingo, and cornhole. The cafe and store are also very nice. We already booked again for our group to be back next year.

We love Bearizona - it definitely met the hype! My fiancé and I did the VIP tour. I would recommend…read morepurchasing tickets online and you also have to purchase a general admission ticket - total was ~$125/person with fees and taxes. Although it was expensive, it was worth it in our opinion. You get to meet a couple animals behind the scene - they are very adorable and you get to interact with them. Our tour guide and bus driver, Damian, was very knowledgeable about the animals. We went on a Sunday morning and our bus only had 20 people or so. The tour was about 1.5 hours and you get a complimentary drink either before or after the tour. The walk through portion is small and it took us about 1.5-2 hours to go through everything, but you could definitely spend more time. There are shows throughout the day. FYI- There are no re-entries once you leave Bearizona. You can go through the drive thru as many times as you want, and this portion allows dogs. However, the walk thru portion does not, so I would either plan to leave your dogs at home, in your car if it is climate controlled, or take turns with family watching the dogs.

It has been a literal decade since I've been here but I finally made it back, this time with a…read morehusband and toddler who were both new to the experience. Despite the long time away, this is a spot I have recommended so many times over the years to those traveling through AZ, particularly with kids. It was cool to see how the place has updated over time. We arrived shortly after opening and started with the drive thru area. Either they no longer to the guided tour through the radio or the staff forgot to mention it, but we had a fun time regardless looking for the animals in each section. The arctic wolves were the coolest part, they were all howling together, it was almost spooky. The bears themselves were less active than previous visit but it was also warmer weather, being summer. The walk through area seems greatly increased since my last visit! Several enclosures to view, a grassy area with scheduled animal talks/demos, and multiple food/drink options have been added - or at least I was less aware of them before. I grabbed coffee at a truck, they also had various alcoholic drinks for parents and snacks for kids. There's also a beer garden area, several booths with carnival-like food tempting the kids with sugary snacks, and a restaurant in the main lodge building - note that you can dine in the canyon OR they have covered outside patio seating with a view to the big cats enclosure. While we did not eat here, we did interact with several staff who were friendly and helpful about giving directions or answering questions about the animals. There are also several photo opp spots throughout, which is a nice touch. TLDR: Make time to stop here if you're driving through AZ, especially if you have kids - but even adults will enjoy a visit here.

I really wanted to like this place, but overall, it was disappointing and not worth the price…read more There were a few positives. The location was quiet, some of the staff were nice, and the showers were better than expected. Unfortunately, that was not enough to make up for the rest of the experience. The cabins were extremely hot, and the lack of air conditioning made it very uncomfortable. Fans helped a little, but not enough to make the stay relaxing. For the price, I expected the accommodations to be much more comfortable and better maintained. The campground itself also felt boring, especially for families with children. There was not much to do, the on-site store was overpriced, and some of the basic amenities were disappointing. The Wi-Fi was weak and unreliable, the sites felt too close together, and the nearby highway noise took away from the outdoor camping feel. Cleanliness and management also seemed to be an issue. Bathrooms and facilities should be checked and cleaned regularly, especially with the number of employees around. Instead, it felt like things were being overlooked. For a KOA, I expected better organization, better communication, and better attention to guests. The staff who were friendly deserve credit, but management needs serious improvement. At this price point, guests should not be uncomfortable, bored, dealing with poor maintenance, or feeling like basic issues are being ignored. Overall, there are a few good things here, but not enough for me to recommend it or want to stay again.

Maybe that's a good thing, since the peacefulness is one of the attractions. You really get a good sense of place when visiting.

There are three sections: the North Kaibab Ranger District (north of Grand Canyon National Park), the Tusayan Ranger District (south of Grand Canyon National Park), and the Williams Ranger District. There are several visitor centers that have information about the area and things to do. Some of the national forest is scarred by forest fire, but new plant life is colonizing those areas again.

They are similar but have some differences that may make one better over the other for some folks. Pros: - close to GC - spacious tent with most everything you could possibly need (bathroom, lamps, chargers, etc) - awesome cafe with actually good-quality casual food Cons: - really bad wifi (which probably is the point as you're supposed to be one with nature and not be on your phone but I struggled with trying to respond to work emails that were urgent) - at one point, the roads get really bad as they are unpaved and full of stones/gravel Overall, a really good vacation though, and I can't wait to try out their other locations!

Also, I don't like spending over $500 a night and having to walk a block to get my morning coffee. The food and the service was very good. But it is overpriced for the experience.
