Very nice group camp facility

This site has a day use picnic in front and then two group areas with a closed gate behind. Group A and Group B. Very nice facility with large shade feature over the tables, nice fire pit bench areas and clean vault toilets and pressurized water. The day use picnic area is $5 per car, the group areas are reserved on recreation.gov and price is noted as $103 per nite plus taxes and fee. This site is very close to the jct of hwy 89 A and hey to Grand Canyon and the Kaibab Inn and gas station, so hwy noise may be a factor.
