This campsite was perfect in every way. The site was spacious, had a store near by, close to shuttle services and the canyon. The bathrooms were clean as well. Highly reccomend!

Mather campground offers very spacious sites, with clean bathrooms, showers & laundry facility within walking distance. There is also a shuttle station to take you to all of the attractions throughout the park. Mather campground is only a short drive from the General Store, which has a water refill station, grocery store, and camping supplies with very reasonable prices. Overall, a wonderful experience!

While this is like many National Park campgrounds - crowded and not very wild - the grand canyon is spectacular and this was an awesome place for us to stop on a road trip.

This is a HUGE campground (over 300 sites), but very clean and well maintained. Make reservations in advance (like, months in advance) or you might not be camping tonight. Clean bathrooms, pay showers are close by as well as a very well stocked general store for anything you are lacking. One of the best parts of this campground is the free shuttle that takes you to the rim and visitors center. It makes the mile one less that you need to hike after pounding the trails all day (I'm not sure how late the shuttle runs, but it seamed to go until at least 9 pm). It gets dark here, like, really dark, so be sure to get your campsite set up before the sun goes down so you can see where the fire pit and picnic table is in relation to your tent. Decent tent pad, fairly level. The campground quieted down around 10pm, but you could still hear vehicles on the nearby roads until about 11pm.

Beautiful spacious campground. Mule deer hanging out near by. Quiet and bathrooms clean with flushing and running water. Able to purchase food at the general store for affordable prices!

I consider myself some what ocd when it comes to preparing for camping trips, although on this occasion, of all things to forget, the tent was left behind! That's all part of the adventure though, right? Great location, close to the rim of the canyon, convienent bathrooms although the shower was a bit of a walk from the campsite. How can you complain about having access to a shower though when camping? Overall, great experience.

Good plot with a firepit, picnic bench, and plenty of trees to hang up our hammocks! The bathrooms were nice and clean and had access to water.

We stopped in at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon for a night and it was breathtaking. The views are absolutely amazing and let you know how small you really are. There were tons of Elk running around there too, and they had no problem ignoring us and going about their business. The facilities are clean and convenient. The lodges and hotels offer dining if you don't want to cook over the campfire -- the Maswick Cafeteria even has a locally-sourced veggie burger for vegans and vegetarians.

We can't wait to go back for a longer visit and really enjoy the trails.

Great campground in RMNP. I stayed at site 6 towards the end of April for 2 nights. Mather' sites are well spaced with great tree coverage for shade. The campground is close to showers and the store fore supplies. Water and toilets are centrally located for easy access. I would recommend this site because of its location in the park.

Stayed here in March of 2016. The campground was clean and well kept. The lots were well sized and located close to the general store. The campground is also very close to the rim trail making hiking easily accessible.

Because it's a large, park, multipurpose campground, it can be crowded and noisy. Especially if you are tent camping. Easy access to all amenities and rim of canyon.

Mather is a campground in a location that is absolutely magnificent. The view that you can get of the Grand Canyon at the south rim is like no other. As you look over the 18 mile canyon, you think you are dreaming because of the vast size of it and how huge it really is! This is a location that I would highly recommend traveling to if you can!

Spent a great weekend Camping in the GCNP at Mather Campground while teaching a wilderness medicine course. Campsites were clean and bathrooms also were well kept and stocked! Built a campfire and cooked out with friends. Shuttles to the canyon and trailheads run all day! Patrolled regularly and always felt safe and sound! Some creature ate a hole in the water jugs...but hey...there was water available close by :)

This was a great campground! A solid plot to set up camp and relax for the night before hiking all day. Had nice facilities to go the bathroom as well as a large supply area to get fire wood and any other supplies that you may have forgotten anything.

You're right off the south rim and have easy access to the views and lots of amenities. This crampground will get crowded and if you want to get a spot definitely try making a reservation online before heading over. Although there are hundreds of sites. If you're in a tent try for the pine loop as it is supposed to be generator free.

Lots of restroom, running water and pay showers/laundry. You get your standard fire ring and table and while you are in the desert the tree coverage isn't awful and helps a little...

Could use a little more privacy.

Go! Actually for how big the campground is, it doesnt feel too crowded or crunched.

If you come here at the ends and beginning of the seasons. It is awesome. Hardly anyone here and its the Grand Canyon son!

My mom and I were not campers before we took off on our 3000 mile journey strictly sticking to camp grounds for our accommodations. Therefore we were unaware of the whole idea of campgrounds being booked a year in advance. Fortunately we were able to slip in because of a cancelation- but I would advise reservations!! This was a great spot other than being a bit crowded. We had some awesome camp neighbors within view- so if you're looking for privacy this isn't the place. Having the bus system was a nice asset, along with being among the first to be able to creep out and catch the sunrise in the morning. It's nice to be right in on the action- would definitely suggest this over staying outside the park!

This was my first time to the Grand Canyon and I was lucky enough to snag a last minute camping spot at Mather. Mather is in the park and $18. Using the recreation.gov website to book was easy enough and the actual campsite was pretty good. Lots of dirt and pine needles and rocks so we needed to clear a pretty decent area before we could set up. It gets incredibly dark at night (within 45min of the sunset) but the stars are truly incredible. I'd advise cooking before sunset! Each campsite had a grate covered fire pit. The general store is of course overpriced but literally had everything you could possibly need so don't fret if you forget lighter fluid, firewood, enough beer, etc. Mather was pretty crowded but it was a great first experience at the Grand Canyon. We were there in mid-July (2016) and could sleep very comfortably at night. Will definitely be back!

The Grand Canyon Natonal Park is spectacular! Me and my girlfriend camped at Mather Campground and enjoyed our visit very much! Facilities were above average for most primal sites. And the sites were breathtaking! We will be back for sure!

Beautiful sites but extremely over crowded . Stayed 1 night to begin the rim to rim challenge. Showers and laundry. too many people for me. But that is 1 hike off my list

This campground was a great way to start out our journey down into the canyon. There was running water in the bathroom and places to dispose of garbage as well as a place for campfires. Only down side was how crowded the campground got.

The tent sites are very nice, with lovely trees for shade. This is an amazing park, I can't wait to go back!

This campground seems to me the most popular at the South rim. It is in a great central location. Very close to The Rim Trail, Desert View Dr., Visitors center, and the town of Tusayan where you can find anything you might need, including the Imax Theater and helicopter tours. If you are lucky enough to visit here on a clear night, you can expect to see a spectacular night sky. Don't stay up too late though, you'll want to be up to watch the sun come up over the canyon. Probably the best sunrise I've ever watched.

Mather Campground in withing the Grand Canyon South Village Area and very accessible to all that the park has to offer. With regular shuttle runs not far you can access just about anywhere easily. When we arrived the campground was full (early Sept) but the rangers were just great and told us our options. Showers are available for a fee and you can't beat being at the canyon rim for sunset! Elk and other critters are all around so keep an eye out (especially at night!) Sights are not very large but everyone was very respectful. Great way to just park and play - almost never having to move your vehicle for your whole visit :-)

We camped on the south rim of the Grand Canyon the night before our hike down. Our hiking crew was arriving from a couple of different places, so this was a perfect place to meet up. We had supplies for hiking down into the canyon for a couple of nights, but we ate at one of the cafeteria's in the south rim park just to keep things simple the night before the hike.

We camped there the second week of March during spring break. It was perfect! Cold at night but the facilities were very nice and accommodating. Water, restrooms and showers were all provided, good table and fire rings as well.

The campsite is typical for a national parl..Showers are avaliable using coin machine.

I was here during the government shot down and we had the park all to ourselves which was great.

Be aware of the Elk walking at night

Stayed at site 142. Absolutely wonderful campground - largest in the Grand Canyon NP. When we arrived, the campground was technically full with “No Vacancy” signs posted. We actually pulled in thinking that we could ask them where else to stay for the night, but one of the park admins was kind enough to check for cancellations and told us that there was an administrative site available - wonderful! My dad was able to use his National Park senior citizen pass, so we paid a whopping $9 for the site. Very nice, private gravel tent sites with a great picnic table fire ring - all the standard stuff. Really appreciated the quiet and respectful nature of the campground as well. Right in the park, so obviously very close to everything that you want to do. Amazing!
