First time to Grand Canyon. We stayed two nights in Mather Campground on the South Rim in October. It was easy to navigate the south rim, so getting in after dark, it wasn't a problem finding and setting up camp. Mather is fairly close to the overlooks so we had gotten up early to catch the sunrise and it did not disappoint. This was followed by making breakfast using our BioLite Campfire Stove 2. There are numerous wildlife that make their way around the campground that are somewhat foreign to east-coasters (elk), and it was amazing to see them somewhat up close. We camped with parents and even though a canyon hike was out of the question, we were able to tool around on the south rim by taking the hop-on/off bus to checkout the various stops. Highly recommended are: getting up early to see the sunrise, NPS-led talks/hikes, a good camera, and cooking at the site.
