Desert View Campground — Grand Canyon National Park
Reviewed Aug. 3, 2024

Gorgeous!!!!

A perfect campground for nature lovers. Elk came by to " watch us". A short trail to the rim of the canyon for gorgeous views. Very nice hosts. Perfectly clean toilets and sinks.

The sites are suited for vehicles up to 30 feet. Some are pull through, some back in, some just a pull out along the road and VERY small. We had a pull through for a 30' RV, it fitted. Quite flat, levellers would have been convenient... Each site has an asphalt part and an enormous dirt/ stone/ sand part with many trees for shade, BBQ/ firepit and picknicktable.

Canyon Village is about 40 miles, but being away from the crowds is priceless.

Please keep in mind that there are no showers at the campground. Showers are at Mather campground, but they are very dirty and outdated. $2,50 for 5 minutes of warm water. At Mather a RV dumpstation is available as well.

Desert View is one of the nicest campsites I saw during the roadtrip with my family.
