"Overland" Camping

Look a trip to the Grand Canyon in early June.  My husband and I overland in our Ford Excursion.  The weather was gorgeous and we loved our site.

We stayed in the tent circle and our driveway was nice and flat.  It had a picnic table and fire ring (unfortunately for us, stage 2 Fire Restrictions were in effect, so no open flames). We did a bit of cleanup at the site - nothing major, just some small bits of trash.  The bathroom was relatively clean.

We did take advantage of the coin operated showers twice - stalls are a bit small for larger people, but got the job done.  We were disappointed in the laundry, about 2/3 of the machines were not in operation due to Covid for social distancing.  

We loved how close it was to the Market and walked up there everyday and used the free shuttle buses to move around the rest of the park.

Our specific site seemed very large, the table was in the sun most of the day, but we could always find shade.

One awesome extra, was everyday we had an elk just meander through our site!

Overall, we would stay here again!
