When we were in Williams we stayed at the Grand Canyon Railway RV Park. It's part of a big complex including a hotel and restaurant as well as the RV park. The park is very nice with paved streets and long pull through, level, paved sites. We were tired of our gravel, muddy clay site that we had for the summer. If you stay here you get a discount to ride the train to the south rim of the Grand Canyon. It is a very popular ride and seems to have lots of riders everyday not just weekends. Some people had luggage being stowed on the train we figure they take the train and spend the night at a hotel at the Grand Canyon and then come back the next day. You leave Williams around 9-9:30 and come back around 6pm so its a long day. Everyone packs a backpack and we also saw coolers being loaded so they must have a picnic while there.
Its fun to see the train unload and all the families with small children having to carry them back to the RV park. The kids get pretty worn out from the long day . Although the adults look pretty worn out as well. We haven't taken the train but if we were asked to go with friends we probably would give it a try. The pictures are of the old steam engine train. They run a regular diesel locomotive and passenger cars nowadays but on holidays they do still have the steam engine going.
