    This is the sharp edge on the arm of the chair where her pants got ripped. She could have cut her leg or her arm on this spot.
    Troy C.

    I have stayed at this KOA many times over the past 20 years. I always bragged about how good this place is and many friends have stayed there based on my previous reviews. This trip in the first week of June had one event that ruined my review 100%. If what happened had been handled professionally, my review would be five stars and good smiles. The event was simply this, we were sitting in a chair provided by the KOA to sit by our fire while we camped in a Conestoga Wagon. We got the fire going after dark. My wife sat in a chair trusting it to be safe. At some point she stood up and felt her pants rip. These were new pants and not cheap. I turned a light on and saw three rips on the side of her pants. I then looked and saw a very sharp piece of metal that was screwed into two parts of the wooden chair. More inspection was to see that they had six other sharp edged pieces of metal all over that chair holding it together. The good news is that she didn't get cut by the chair. But the sad news is a nice pair of pants were damaged. We made a complaint the next morning. It got escalated to a local manager who then turned it over to her boss. We had one phone message from the district manager. The rest of the time was communication by email. This manager had poor communication skills and never did seek to look at the photos. She wanted us to send a copy of the receipt. She had wrong information stating we ordered them online. I corrected the information and stated the online photo shown to her manager beneath her was to show the cost of $89 for the pants. She then emailed me to have me tell her when we were going to stay next and she would give us $40 off the cost of staying there. This is unacceptable because it does not replace the pants and we have no idea when we might stay again. Several weeks later I still had nothing resolved. We had sent a receipt showing the cost from my wife replacing the torn pants with the exact store and price. Nothing more was said to us. I reached out this weekend and she responded to say she would refund me $40 for the cost of the pants. That is it. I think this is very poor management and dealing with this did take from some of our enjoyment in this trip. This lack of customer service and lack of care is enough to make us not want to stay or brag about this KOA. Not once did anyone of the staff say they were sorry for this experience or state they were glad we didn't get cut by the sharp edges of each metal piece on this chair. It took them 2 days to remove it from the area.

    My trucks engine died on it's way to Circle Pines KOA in Williams AZ and required a new engine. The staff was helpful and bumped my month stay up twice, this helpful attitude ended when I called the third time and was told that even though I still wanted to stay there I would lose my thousand dollar deposit. Not my fault the truck died and because of the mangers refusal to talk with me, I will no longer use any KOA rv park and recommend to anyone that a thousand dollars is a lot of money to them, not to even bother staying with KOA. Not worth it!

    One of our favorite spots! Nice large spots, quiet, wooded. The pool is indoor, they have a restaurant and very clean. Property is starting to get old but still very nice. I recommend it.

    LOVE this particular KOA. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Great with kids!!! So many fun activities including hayrides, go Karts (family favorite) mini golf, bouncy blob, playground, bingo, crafts, on site restaurant and the store is fabulous! There's also a small store down by the go karts & a few arcade games, pool tables and claw machines. Definitely a great spot. Some of our family stayed in a glamping tent & it was super clean and fun for a young family. There's also teepees and covered wagons. The public restrooms and shower areas were exceptionally clean.

    This is a great place to stay! The staff was great and the cabin was clean and very comfortable. I enjoyed my night there. Will stop again on my way back through.

    View from porch

    The cabins in the back face the woods and are peaceful and quiet. Campgrounds were immaculate and there were staff always moving around making sure everything worked well. Many amenities and everyone was kind and helpful.

    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.

    There was no potable water. Had to empty water bottles to have water to wash hand. Was advertised…read moreto have potable water and grills and firepits. 1 of 3 sites we rented had a grill.

    We absolutely adored this place! Such a great concept! My friend had told me about this place years…read moreago and I'm so happy my girls and I were able to experience this place! Admission is $30/adult. I bought my tickets online and taxes and fees were about $15. So completely worth it. We opted to drive thru once, then parked to use their restrooms which were clean and well stocked. Then we drove through one more time before they closed that section--last car through at 4pm and the park closes at 5:30pm. The second time we went through, they had just fed all the animals so they were super active! They'll come right up to your car, which can feel a little intimidating. That's the closest I ever want to be to a bear or a wolf! They have the animal areas themed and everything is so cute! The walk through exhibits are great as well. Amazing gift shop. So cool to watch the grizzlies as well. If you're ever in Williams, AZ, I cannot recommend checking this place out more! You will not regret it!

    Want to see a bison, wolf or bear up close and personal? Come to Bearizona!…read more This is part drive through park/zoo and part walk about zoo. You stay in your car to pay your admission, and you are then let through an entrance gate type thing. You drive past mountain goats/Dall sheep, deer, donkeys, and other not-so-scary animals. As you make your way through the park, you pass through multiple cordoned off areas, each with different animals: multiple bear species, wolves, and bison, to name a few. When in THESE particular areas, you are required to have all your windows up and your sun/moon roof closed for your safety. It's normally bumper to bumper, so you get to be in this part of the park a fairly decent amount of time. At one point, you drive out into a prairie area where the bison are, and you can stay out there longer, as even though there is a "road" you stay on, others can drive around you if they want to get a move on. After seeing all of these big animals, you pass through another gate and into a parking lot. You can either leave the premises, or park and go into the walking zoo. In this portion are smaller animals like eagles, otters, turkey, badgers....mostly North American wildlife. However, there is an area with jaguars in it. There a few small places to get a souvenir or a soda, and then there is the very VERY large gift shop. The gift shop has a large restaurant in it (we didn't go in), and a few small rooms that act like a museum of sorts. Also throughout, in various sneaky areas are large cages/tanks with animals in them like snakes. The gift shop carries just about anything you can imagine from the typical logo shirts to animal themed toys and post cards. But then, it carries other things like hand made pottery mugs and pocket knives. Overall, this was a neat place to visit. You can tell the animals are well cared for, and all enclosures are clean and mimic the animals' natural habitats quite nicely. Each one has a nice amount of space and places for the animals to escape the view of guests when they want to. Bearizona is located almost exactly across from AZ-64 North, the main road to Grand Canyon National Park, just a short drive from Flagstaff. 14/2026

As we entered there was a LOT of wear and tear visible, completely filthy air filter. Shower was degrading, toilet paper holder had been ripped off the wall and half way patched. One of the bunk beds had a stain/spill down the side and you could see the accumulation of dirt/debris. The ac read 86 and was blinking red. The whole place felt dirty and uncomfortable and gave us the impression we wouldn't be sleeping without a few crawling friends. Within 5 minutes of checking in we went to the front desk and they were adamant about their no refund policy and stated "what did you expect from a train car" well for $198 for one night I guess we expected more than they were willing to provide. I could not recommend this less. Their minimal pictures do NOT show you what you are signing up for.

They are similar but have some differences that may make one better over the other for some folks.

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.
