Hi All, Back from an amazing trip to Cape Hatteras!! Now we are thinking of planning a run to the Grand Canyon. Does anyone have any names of good campgrounds near the Grand Canyon? Anyone been there that could recommend a nice campground close? Thinking of heading that way mid-april to mid-may. ------------- Leo & Melissa Bachand 2017 Ford F150 2021 Vista Cruiser 19 csk Previously owned 2015 Rpod 179 2010 Rpod 171 |

Excellent! Thank you for the response! We are hoping to go around mid-april to mid-may. Are there campgrounds other than the parks in the area that would have full hookups? We are thinking of staying around the Canyon for a week to explore as much as we can. ------------- Leo & Melissa Bachand 2017 Ford F150 2021 Vista Cruiser 19 csk Previously owned 2015 Rpod 179 2010 Rpod 171 |

There are KOA's in both Flagstaff and Williams AZ. that are nice, been to both a few years back. Be aware that you can have snow up there into May in the Flagstaff area, the year that I went to NAU at Flagstaff it snowed through the first week of May.

Leo B, Don't forget to visit Sedona while you are in the area, and Prescott if you have the time. ------------- See America First 2013 R-POD 177 HRE 2005 Dodge Dakota Quad Cab George and Linda |

We have stayed at Circle Pines KOA in Williams, AZ numerous times. We think it's one of the best KOAs anywhere! We've stayed there just to stay there. They have a great little walking trail that goes up a steep hill - you can see for miles from the top. There is also another KOA in Williams - if you book, be sure you stay at Circle Pines. There's so much to do in the Williams area - Sedona, Old Route 66, a rescue zoo called Bearazona, even the little town of Williams (the KOA is about a 5 minute drive to town). We took the Grand Canyon Railroad from Williams to Grand Canyon once, and it was a definite highlight. Have fun. The Grand Canyon is amazing. ------------- 2017 Jayco Melbourne 24k 2013 Premier 19FBPR Formerly-2013 R-pod 177HRE 2011 Dodge Durango Love a good road trip |

LOL! Good advice! I was in the area a couple of years ago, driving a rental car and staying at hotels. Jerome is a wonderful little town but it's not particularly travel-trailer friendly! It's a beautiful part of the world. I love the Southwest. TT |
