Way out in the middle of Northern Arizona, there's enough space to try out some wacky ideas you…read morecouldn't do anywhere else. After the legendary Flintstone village replica had yet another near-extinction event, the current owners maintained the relics while adding a small zoo. If you're exploring the area, you HAVE to drop by. There's nothing else like it. You can enter by paying for admission at the register of the convenience store. If you paid a little extra for the pouches of animal feed, the group of goats outside will be happy to see you. There are a few alpacas, too! On the opposite end are some giant bird cages filled with falcons and other raptors. Of course, the star of the show lies in the old buildings modeled after Fred Flintstone's neighborhood. His home, the jail, and the salon--every building here is its own little exhibit. You can explore and take plenty of photos; the architecture is something to be appreciated. This is simply something every Arizonan should see at least once.

*Free attraction for all active duty military and their families!*…read more Arrived at 5-5:30 on a Thursday and the place had maybe 1 or 2 other families. You walk inside and there's a gift shop with a food stand in the back. They have some fresh produce-- apples, oranges, bananas, and I saw you could ask for tomatoes, peppers, and some other stuff. The coolers were filled with bottled drinks and beer. There were tables to sit at and a small counter to order food. We ordered our dinner -- they mostly had wings, burgers, a couple sides, and ice cream. My husband got buffalo wings (10), mozzarella sticks (10), and the five piece chicken tenders for the kids, plus 2 Gatorades and it was $52. I wasn't super hungry and figured I would pick at whatever was left. My husband said the wings were good! I tasted the sauce and it was flavorful but not overly hot. I did end up eating some of the kids' tenders and they were probably some of the better ones we've had in the area. You can definitely eat outside, so ask for your orders to go! I think the price for adults to enter the park is $10, slightly lower for kids, and, I believe, kids under 3 were free. Like it said though, active duty military and their families get in free. Either way, I would have paid for the experience if we had to. If you even remotely like dinosaurs or the Flinstones, you'll love it here. The park is very nostalgic, see my attached pictures! Lots of photo opportunities for the whole family, a slide, swings, and peddle karts that you can "race" on a track through the volcano. They also have animals-- sheep, goats, an alpaca, various kinds of birds. The animal exhibits made me a little sad, especially the birds. There was animal feed for the goats, sheep, and alpaca and it looked like there was a little stage and seating for shows. We stayed until they closed at 8! I bought my son a shirt and myself a hoodie. If we were in the area again when the kids were older, I'd definitely take them back. It was fun for wll ages!

In the morning, the views from your sleeping bag are of the canyon walls ablaze with the morning sun. This week, the canyon was bursting with color from all the flowers and vegetation blooming after the heavy winter snow. The campground is simple, but has plenty of drinking water spigots throughout camp, and even restrooms with flushing toilets and sinks. A half mile from the black bridge crossing the Colorado River and another short walk to Phantom Ranch Village, which had a few services and amenities, this is ideally located for a loop hike down N. Kaibab and up Bright Angel trails. Rangers who checked our permits had a sense of humor and seemed stoked to work in such a stunning place.

A thought came to me recently as I've been thinking about trips to national parks, and thinking…read moreabout crowds, getting out of them, and seeing parts of the park that are quiet, thoughtful, and less-traveled. That thought was pretty simple. I want to come back here. There are so many parks and so many places in each park that I don't always want to re-visit old stops. But lately that's changed and I want to go back to a lot of them. Sometimes it's just because the first trip was special. Sometimes it's because enough time has passed that you now wonder how you would be changed by a place, now that you're a new person and that place remains unchanged. And sometimes you just want to take someone new and see it through their eyes. I've been in this campground a couple of times, but I've only stayed there once. It sits on the north side of the river, adjacent to Phantom Ranch at the bottom of the Grand Canyon. My stay was in the winter and it was lesser-traveled, though I'm sure it's booked up and busy most of the year as this park is the most popular in the whole parks system. The campground itself is pretty simple, there are a couple dozen sites and each one has a picnic table, a hanger for your gear, and an ammo can where you need to store all of your food to keep it away from pests. The animals here are alarmingly accustomed to humans, and I've had run-ins with deer who are more like entitled hikers as they hog the trail and just roll their eyes at you. The campground is clean (no one drives up in their car and unloads a bunch of trash) but do make sure you show the utmost respect to this area. The whole canyon is special and a sacred place. The campground has water and toilets. Getting here is no small task. As they say, "Going down is optional, coming up is not." You descend several thousand feet from either rim, as this is accessible by the Bright Angel Trail (via the short River Trail that connects to the bridge), South Kaibab, and North Kaibab Trails. Downhill is brutal on knees and ankles, and you have to be in shape. Going up is brutal on everything. If you're staying at Bright Angel Campground, you're probably backpacking and you need to pack light, and know your limits. Give yourself time. You can break up the trip and also stop and Indian Garden and the campground there if you don't want to do it all in one day. There's plenty to do here. It's so odd that you have Phantom Ranch right here, and you can go over and get a drink or snack. If you book ahead of time, you can buy your meals here and have a nice meal. It's spendy, but for crying out loud, they have to pack it in by mule every time! I've taken the hike north to Ribbon Falls which is a nice day activity if you're spending a few nights here. Or you can just lounge at the campground and let your body recover. Shade is a premium in the scorching summer, and winter is bone chilling cold. The shoulder season is nice but crowded, so you really just pick your poison. As I sit here right now in my house in the city, I close my eyes tightly and I can hear the roar of the Colorado River in my mind. I'm back at the campground at the bottom of the canyon. We've left the madness of the village and wandered down through the magic canyon, crossed the bridge, and we're in the tent living our very best life. The moon is glowing and I can *just* imagine it. It's a special place. I'm feeling it -- I do want to go back.

Grand Canyon is a certified dark sky and worth the view even from the camp site grounds.

If you have the time, this is something you should enjoy over a long weekend. You can spend hours walking around and driving between the countless parking lots and still only see a fraction of what it has to offer. A real contender for best park in America, if not the world.

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.

Like the name Railside RV Ranch says it is right off the railroad so you will hear trains, however, I have not encountered any campgrounds that are right on Route 66 but do not align with the railroad. It's definitely part of the history of old Route 66. A lot of history in this town and fun things to do and just a 45 minute drive to the Grand Canyon. We enjoyed eating here, walking around town & our camping experience! I would absolutely stay here again. Thank you!

I walked around the village, checking out the art shop and the hotels (and grabbing brunch at El Tovar Hotel). The Geology Museum has more information about the formation of the area, as well as a small gift shop. I made it a bit down Bright Angel Trail, marveling at the views. I also did the 25 mile scenic drive towards the east on Desert View Drive - definitely stop at some pull outs since the views are different as you go along the rim. Things I have to do in the future: -Take the shuttle to Hermit's rest (be sure to sit on the right side since you get all the views that way) since it was wayyy too crowded when I looked at the bus stop -Get a ticket to climb up Desert View's tower. I wish there was more information about the Indigenous peoples and their cultures who lived in this area. There wasn't a lot of information provided, but a lot about the architect who designed a lot of the buildings. It seemed unbalanced. Also, I wish that Desert View went into more history of the building - apparently it was controversial when it was built. Amazing visit.

Made sure everyone had ice, could run generators, offered glow sticks, etc. Offered to discount or free us from our reservation if we wanted to leave over this unexpected issue but we were good with portable power.
