Long Jim Loop Campground
Long Jim Loop Campground, near the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, is a fantastic choice for those looking to immerse themselves in nature while being just a stone's throw from one of the most iconic national parks in the U.S. With a variety of private, shaded sites, this location offers a laid-back atmosphere where you can truly unwind.
The campground is free and allows campfires, making it perfect for cozy evenings under the stars. While there are no amenities like drinking water or restrooms, visitors appreciate the proximity to the Grand Canyon and nearby shops for supplies. One camper noted, “It is so convenient, only 1 mile out from the South Rim entrance of Grand Canyon and was not crowded whatsoever.”
Wildlife sightings are a highlight here, with elk often wandering through the area, adding a touch of excitement to your stay. The beautiful rocky landscape and clear night skies make for stunning views, especially for stargazers. Just be mindful of the occasional broken glass left behind by others, as some campers mentioned the need for better trash management.
If you're planning to visit the Grand Canyon, this campground serves as a great base. It's close enough to grab a bite or connect to Wi-Fi in town, yet far enough to enjoy the peace of nature. Whether you're in a tent or RV, Long Jim Loop Campground offers a unique blend of convenience and wilderness that’s hard to beat.
