Close to the beauty

This is a nice, clean functional campground that is close to one of the most beautiful places on earth. Unfortunately you can’t see that place, since the sites are surrounded by trees and bushes. However, those trees and bushes provide some shade and privacy, and it’s a quick walk/drive to the canyon. Anywhere else it would be a three-star property. Nice overnight stopover. The $20 park entry was waived due to COVID. Most people wearing masks at viewpoints. We got a site no problem in Loop C, which is all first come, first serve, on a Friday night in July. There are picnic tables, fire rings and bear boxes in every site. Some sites in Loop C have tent clearings, and others have pull-ins that would work for a small RV. Only Loop B has electric. No Verizon service in the campground, but we did discover a good signal at the very end of the South Rim road.
