"If you want to camp relatively close to the rim of the Grand Canyon, this is the spot."
"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!"
$30 / night
"Our spot was directed next to the camp host and close to the restrooms. There was plenty of space between us and the neighbors with some privacy."
"Busy but quiet campground, just a 5-minute walk from the rim of the Grand Canyon and a 10-minute walk to the Desert View Watchtower."
$35 / night
"The RV park at Cameron Trading Post is nothing exceptional. No showers, wi-fi or bathrooms. You are literally right off of Hwy 89A south. However, just across the highway is Cameron Trading Post."
"I drove in deeper than the spot listed and found a little place tucked into trees at (35.9710940, -111.8073700). Rutted dirt road, but manageable with most cars."
"Plenty of spots and location outside of east entrance is ideal. We spent sunset at GC and rolled in about 730. Drove back in promaster van about 1/2 mile easily to find a flat spot."
"Could only get one night at the Mather CG in Grand Canyon, so we went boondocking just outside of the National Park in Kaibab NF. "
"The sites are pretty big and private, I recommend tucking yourself as far back as possible to stay away from the dust kicked up by passing cars."
"The spots are quite large and we were lucky enough to get one with a large treed area next to it. Full hookups and all."
"Walking distance to some amazing lookouts and to the dining hall.
Drove to Keys Point lookout tower and left the park by that exit as we headed toward Lake Powell."
$100 / night
"Nice campground near highway. Nice pleasant staff. Bathrooms were clean. Beautiful setting with mountain right behind the campground. Short walking trails within campground."
"There is access to some great trails right behind the park. Sites are descent size but definitely not level but that is an easy fix."
"We are in a lifted GX460 with a small pull behind camper and made it through going slowly. Beautiful forest all around. So happy to find this spot! Saw elk!"
"Camped next to the watch tower. Our spot was close to road so lacked toilet privacy, but the other spots were farther off the road. Perfect spot to camp and drive 5 minutes into GCNP."
"Almost zero road noise and close proximity to Grand Canyon South Rim Entrance made for a great stay! "
"It was easy to find and the drive in was fairly smooth.
We went in after dark but did some exploring in the morning before leaving. We found lots more sites available, some large, some small."
"If coming from Utah and taking 64 out of Cameron, you will be going through the park. Just a heads up."
"You can walk to the canyon rim or walk to shuttles that will take you anywhere in the park. Grocery store also within walking distance (10 min?). Wildlife wander through camp grounds."
ScoutWe are traveling from GA to Utah. This place looked nice in pictures. The pictures do it NO JUSTICE!! Village Camp met all of our expectations and all of our wants! The pizza at the bistro was GREAT! The bar was a fun environment, and everyone was super nice! The bathrooms and showers were very spacious and clean!
RangerReally amazing. Sites are huge so you don’t feel like you are right on top of each other. We were warned about the elk rut. Elk were everywhere in the park. A bull bugled throughout the late afternoon into the evening. Hearing that sound in nature was on my bucket list. Amazing. We are going to try the shuttle system. Loving it.
GuideContrary to the last review, access to Sunset Crater National monument is not possible via the back entrance. The road to this site states that at the beginning and we verified (by driving around) that the fence on the side of s Sunset Crater is closed. Not a through road. We ended up camping not here, but at the far side of Sunset Crater along the O'Leary peak loop (not listed, and app doesn't allow me to add it). That is a beautiful spot!
TravelerI first came here to campsit for a friend and I ended up staying a few days. I can't speak to solar as it rained every day, but when it was sunny, it was limited to this specific area for a couple of hours. We were close to Lava Cave, so there were lava rocks everywhere and I was really limited in finding a good place to park within the site. IF YOU DECIDE TO GO HERE: Do not take 245 of 180. It is a nightmare of washboard roads-- really the worst I've seen. Take 222 off 180, and let Google Maps guide you from there.
TravelerGreat spot, but there is some active logging in the area. I thought painted trees were marked for chopping, but it seems those are the ones they intend to keep. For now, it's beautiful. I'm camped with a group of 6 campervans, but there's space for individual privacy while allowing proximity. I don't have great cell service, but that's true for me of Arizona in general. Others in my group have a nice signal. As for solar, we've all found a spot where we're able to charge.
ScoutWe stayed two nights in the weekend, so of course it got busy and a little noisy at times, but this will be much better on weekdays. Despite what the description says, they even have showers. But they have limited opening times and are blocked for long cleaning shifts several times a day. We didn’t have a tent but there were plenty so the ground seems alright for that. Easy to get to all Grand Canyon sites via shuttle.
TravelerA great location with shuttle bus every 15mins to surrounding sites. So much wildlife around. Laundry and showers are not located within the amenities blocks which is a little disappointing, they are a bit of a hike away. Very handy picnic table at each site. Wonderful spot.
ScoutMe and my boyfriend took a weekend trip to see whatever for his birthday we used this spot before driving into the Grand Canyon and it was so easy to get to an not scary at all
TravelerAmazing views of the prairie and mountain behind. Easy dirt road to follow. Different places available on a Friday night in September.
