Nice and hot

This campsite was so big. This site is very popular so you should check in very very early. It was absolutely cold at night. The temperature dropped to 30 degrees and everyone wanted warm showers. The showers were 2 dollars for 8 minutes. The site was 18 dollars and it was 30 dollars for entering the park. We had a nps annual pass. I recommend getting one if you go to any national Parks really often. You will save a lot of money. This place has a lot of campers so you will receive very little privacy. At night make sure to have a good sleeping bag because it can drop down to 18 degrees at night.

Convenience

Nice and clean campground. You'll need to make sure to book well in advance to reserve a spot here even though there are several hundred campsites in this spot. This is a convenient campground location close to park access and many many amenities! It can seem a bit crowded, but still caught a few glimpses of coyotes in the morning. I'd stay here again!

Best view of the stars at night!

Non electric but we had a great view of the stars, stayed in July hot during the day and cold at night, had trees around our site so we could have our live infinitely hammock! Very cute site

Accommodates many people

Such a beautiful area and you're able to take hikes to get away from the people however in the campgrounds it is slightly crowd if they're not very big camp sites and the campgrounds seem like they fill up pretty quickly definitely worth it to see such a beauty as the Grand Canyon

Beautiful, yet crowded

This was such a beautiful and well kept Campground however we have gone on a weekday and it seems pretty busy definitely not a campground if you are looking to be alone

Mather's Grand Canyon

Everything close by, buses to Grand Canyon ( perfect for hikers) campsites a little close to each other , but I understand they are trying to accommodate many travelers . General store has everything . Will stay again on my next hiking adventure of Grand Canyon

close to the rim, lacks privacy

I feel like this is a park that you give up privacy and a 'back to nature' experience, so you can be in the heart of Grand Canyon National Park. This campground is near the rim of the canyon, hiking, and other convinces. It's a great, close, place to spend the nights at during your park stay.

No water

Water was rationed when I went so little drinking water. The showers didn't work either.. The Grand Canyon was beautiful and the view was worth it but the camp was not in good shape when I went.

Grand Canyon

Conveniently located if you want to get to the park because you are right there but the place was not clean and noisy. Would not return and would recommend going out to TenX for the best experience.

Excellent location, crowded

Campground is in an excellent location, but is crowded year round. Decent sized sites that allow tents and RVs. Little to no seclusion or privacy. Sites are reservable. Firewood is expensive ($8 per bundle) so bring your own if you can. Pay $30 entrance fee + the cost of the site. Bathhouse costs extra $.

Great location, always crowded

The campsite is great. Clean, well maintained, but if you are looking to be out in nature this isn't the place. You are very close to all the other campers. If having facilities is crucial to you, by all means make a reservation (fills up fast). But otherwise I'd suggest camping on forest land down the road

Beautiful and Serene

Definitely a great place to camp in order to get the full outdoor GC experience. The sites are very nice, spacious with fire pits and picnic tables. The campground seemed clean and quiet. Restrooms in a good shape. The nights can get very cold (we camped there in early April and temps went down to 20's), since it's so high up (south rim elevation is about 7,000 feet above the sea level). So do some research before you decide to go camping in Grand Canyon. Tons of elk grazing in the mornings. Super serene place. Just like the rest of GC. We only stayed one night, so I didn't use showers, but I hear there is only cold water... Walking distance to the south rim of GC, makes it for easy sunrise or sunset photo opportunities. Grand Canyon Village has a decent grocery store and few fast food options. Don't speed through town...

Site 145, Mather Campground, Grand Canyon National Park

Located on the South Rim of Grand Canyon NP, Mather campground has all the amenities of a modern camp site, i.e., hot water showers, restrooms with designated sinks to wash dishes, fire rings and picnic tables. Camp site 145 is partly shaded, and a short walk from the restroom. Like all sites at this campground site 145 is also within earshot of neighboring sites so it's easy to make new friends while sharing stories of the day's activities over the campfire.
