Grand Canyon Railway RV Park: Adventures on the Road and Rail

A train rolls on a track that curves through a hilly, forested landscape.

All aboard for the Grand Canyon Railway RV Park.

Just steps from historic Route 66 and adjacent to the Grand Canyon Railway Hotel, the Grand Canyon Railway RV Park is the premier RV destination for fun in Northern Arizona. Set in the mountain community of Williams — Gateway to the Grand Canyon — the Grand Canyon Railway RV Park is the ideal place to unwind and relax. This park has everything you need for an unforgettable experience, whether you’re hitting the open road as a couple or as a family.

Ride of a Lifetime

The Park is the perfect location for train enthusiasts. The Grand Canyon Railway takes passengers on one of America’s most picturesque train journeys. Departing each morning from the station beside the RV Park, the train runs north out of Williams for a ride up and over the massive Colorado Plateau. At just over two hours, the journey gives RV travelers the chance to take a 65-mile shortcut and leave the driving to the engineer. It’s a perfect way to arrive at Grand Canyon National Park rested and relaxed without worrying about navigating a trailer or motorhome through the twists, turns, and often dense traffic that concentrates at the park’s south entrance.
