We came at peak season- and so we were in the overhaul section of the campground. It was a good place to rest our heads and super close to the south rim entrance. We were two steps away from our neighbors who were luckally really awesome and fun people who we actually became friends with and chatted until 4 am over smores and a fire! If you have the right attitude this place is great- but I can see where the crowds would get tiring.
