"But honestly the camping is nearby to all the action, pets allowed, fun for kids, plenty of room to run free, lots of shade and tables."
"The site was fairly close to a restroom and there was some noise from the air dryers and the door opening and closing throughout the night."
$30 / night
"Great location to enjoy the east side of Grand Canyon NP. There is a fantastic trail right from the campground for unbelievable views and no crowds. Trail is unmarked but easy to find and follow. "
"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."
$100 / night
"Nice pull thru soot for my 38 foot fifth wheel, great pet area, awesome modern hook ups and a great staff"
"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."
$20 - $175 / night
"I arrived Sunday around 5pm and the place was about 70% full. It was less than half full Monday night. I was in one of the spots furthest from the highway and there was very little highway noise."
"Just outside of the entrance to the Grand Canyon National Park, Ten-X is tops. This place is undergoing significant expansion with new infrastructure."
GuideBrought our motorcycle for day trip to Sedona. Conveniently located for the gorgeous drive. Camped in site 6, small trailer site. Came in after office hours. Paperwork, including park map, ready for us next to office. It was dark, so not super easy to find site, but little street signs helped. All dirt, so glad it wasn't muddy. All sites show wheelchair accessible, but don't see how. Charcoal grills and picnic benches scattered everywhere. Community grill area, laundry, clean bathrooms, dog park and newer playground. They are currently improving campground, so lots of tractor noise. We chose an electric and water only site. Dump station next to dog park/laundry/bathroom area. Didn't go to General Store, but they advertise a coffee and wine bar, and breakfast sandwiches. Right on Hwy 66, so a bit of traffic, and we could hear the train, but it wasn't bad. We will definitely be back and look forward to seeing the planned improvements.
TravelerThis is one of those parks that mostly have RV camping & a few tent sites. There wasn't any availability at other spots since we are floating around in our little RV... the spots aren't too close together, there is shade from pine trees, bathrooms with showers & flushing toilets. Road noise & train noise (we don't mind trains). It's convenient to exploring Flagstaff. Easy hiking trail within park & small dog park.
GuideAngie greeted us warmly by email, phone, and then in person upon check-in. If I understand correctly, her father or grandfather started this resort. The spaces are approximately nice distance apart with trees and picnic tables. Very nice to have the dump caps close to the ground; we've contended with a few others that required lifters and additional manipulation! There are bathrooms, showers, laundry, restful patios, a pet run, and even a pet washing station. Wish we had more time to stay here.
TravelerTLDR: Yet another over-hyped dust pit that wants to over-charge for basics. Vanners and those who don’t need hookups for their obnoxious rigs, SKIP THIS PLACE.
I just needed a place to get my senior dog out of the heat for a few days, so I called to ask specifically if the site would be shady. “Yes, all the sites are shady because we keep so many trees.” Riiiight. I’m stuck in a spot with MORNING shade (pretty useless when it’s in the 60s) for the next four nights. I also get to watch people walking through the site and smell the wafting odor of the toilets, which are feet away. I spent all afternoon on the day of arrival buying MORE things to make the next few days bearable for my dog. The “dog park” is like an oversized hamster cage full of wood chips and immediately next to the dump station. No escaping the sh*t, it seems!
When I asked before arriving if there would be any refund in case we needed to leave early, the answer—of course—was no. They don’t give refunds for any reason after the day of arrival. And the mandatory waiver, which specifies we have essentially no recourse or rights once here, would have made me cancel plans to stay. But again, that only came after they had already charged my card for the full stay.
Particularly annoying/laughable are the signs EVERYWHERE telling us all the things not to do—however, management is quick to sell you “add-ons” that are overpriced priced and basic.
Got us caught in an extractive, ugly tourist trap—won’t happen ever again. Just hope I can keep my cool the next few days 😈
Two stars only because it’s in Flag, which is beautiful and fun on its own.
TravelerWe were pleased to get our family's RV & tent sites adjacent under the pines. Got to set up our new Napier Sportz SUV tent & our Subaru Forester. Wonderful clean bathrooms and warm showers. Pet friendly & warm welcome at check-in.
ScoutCampground was a decent size. Did not feel over crowded for it being filled. Lots of grass areas and hiking trails for families and pets to roam. The creek near by was a huge plus and a cute and fun little bridge to play on with kids.
RangerI would say that this review may be different from most. We arrived March 21 and departed on ‘March 24. We were able to call and get reservations last minute, probably due to the fact that most people did their research and knew there was a snowstorm coming. I knew we were supposed to get bad weather, but the day after we arrived, we woke up to about 4” of snow. The south rim and visitors center were closed. We made the best of our day and went out that afternoon during a break in the storm and we’re able to get to a viewpoint from El Tovar. I was very excited to see the canyon for my first time. Nope - Denied! The canyon itself was socked in with either a cloud or fog. The next day it snowed off and on, and the Grand Canyon remained closed. We drove over to Mather Point and were able to see some views! I really wish we could have seen the whole south rim, but we will have to come back. As far as the campground - we had full hook ups, which was very nice considering the weather. Water, Sewer, 50 Amp. No dog park, you just walk the dog and pick up after them. We had enough cell service that we could watch YouTube. ATT. No Wi-Fi, which is to be expected. My suspicions are that during good weather, you would have a very difficult time getting a spot at this campground as it is very convenient to the park. I think I would have loved it here if I was able to get out and enjoy it more, but we were basically stuck in the fifth wheel. We are a 40’ fifth wheel and the space was 50’ and easy to pull into. Also easy to get out of. I would recommend this park.
LegendThe views here are epic as we all know. But honestly the camping is nearby to all the action, pets allowed, fun for kids, plenty of room to run free, lots of shade and tables.
GuideNice pull thru soot for my 38 foot fifth wheel, great pet area, awesome modern hook ups and a great staff
