1 night at Grants KOA- On Historic Route 66

Great facility! Used a basic tent camping spot which is right behind the main office. Bathrooms and laundry were just a step away. We only stayed one night so this was a great plus for us. They had an evening dinner menu, which we didn’t partake in but awesome to have after a long travel day and free pancake breakfast. Also great general store with all kinds of things you might need.
