This is a very clean pleasant park. Everyone is friendly and helpful. This includes park staff, town folk, and train and bus tour staff. I highly recommend Williams as a destination point.
I would say that it is not necessary to spend the extra on the dome cars on the train as views are great in all cars. If you like to eat light I suggest bringing your own packed lunch and taking a bus tour is not necessary if in good physical health as there are free shuttles when hike the rim on your own.
We took advantage of the special offering 3 nights stay for the cost of 2. We stayed 6 nights.
We were tired and very stressed out. May was wonderful and assured us a sight ...no credit card required as they do not accept them anyway. We arrived after dark and Jim (owner) guided us into our sight, gave us chocolates and a very quite safe place to spend the night. I wish all parks were as friendly. As new to the RV experience I certainly appreciated the time and staff at Shady Lane.
