Camping near Grand Canyon National Park, AZ

Pretty Great

Stayed for 3 nights, right in the first spot. I chose this because I have Starlink and needed a view of the sky.

My Starlink worked well but it would reboot, which got annoying.

But cell signal works great, quiet (even if it was close to the highway), no one bothered me.

Got here in the dark was big enough to turn 16’ trailer around and was quite

Kids loved it, great halfway point to the Grand Canyon to spend the day, bed rock city and raptor tour was great, even Fred’s diner has good quality food.

Open sites. Fire rings. Outside of GC NP.

We reached around 7pm after visiting Grand Canyon, as it was already passed business hours, the gift shop had already closed and we had to wait till the next day to get tokens for showers. Check-in was convenient as they already sent us the email for the WIFI and bathroom passcode since we arrived after business hours. Staff was friendly when we asked for the token the next day. The place is kinda empty and spacious, but there’s a gift shop which also sells food, more than enough for us.

Campsite is clean, has electricity and water hookups, there’s a dump station that we have to drive to. Toilets are clean and showers are limited to 7 minutes per person only.

✅ Great Location– Just a short drive or shuttle ride to the canyon's main viewpoints.✅ Spacious Sites– Well-maintained campsites with picnic tables, fire rings, and plenty of space for tents.✅ Clean Facilities– Restrooms with flush toilets and potable water available throughout the campground.✅ Wildlife& Nature– Expect to see elk wandering around and enjoy the peaceful forest setting.✅ Affordable– A budget-friendly option compared to lodges while still being close to all major attractions.

More normal than late check in good. Everything you need for a full hookup is available.

You can be at the Rim in 15 minutes by car. Nice reception.

Can recommend it to others.

The road leading in is narrow and can be bumpy at times. Great places to pull in and camp.

This the only full hookup campground in the Grand Canyon NP. Spots are good size and pull through. Wildlife walks through regularly and for the most part it is nice and quiet.

The only downside is if you need showers or laundry services. Both close at 4pm each day so plan accordingly.

Good spot for your visit to the Grand Canyon. Unfortunately there is not water located at the sites for washing dishes, etc.

It's a big RV and tent park close to the South Rim and quit neat. Recommended to book beforehand. We stayed at a place with only water + picnic table ($30), instead of a place with everything ($79-89).

Really big campground with alot of bathrooms throughout. Make sure to read site descriptions as some spots are very short. Showers and laundry is available at camper services. Showers cost $2.50 for 5 mins.

Translation: Almost nothing to say. It's just a shame that the showers and washing machines are a 10 minute walk or 2 minute drive from the Rv Park

Presque rien à dire. C’est juste dommage que les douches et les machines à laver soient à 10 minutes de marche ou 2 min de voiture du Rv Park

During my recent stay at Mather Campground in Grand Canyon National Park, I was impressed by the spacious campsites and well-maintained facilities. Each site is equipped with a picnic table and fire ring, providing a comfortable setting for meals and evening gatherings. The restrooms were clean and conveniently located, and the availability of drinking water stations throughout the campground was a notable convenience. The presence of elk wandering through the area added a unique and memorable touch to the experience. The campground's proximity to shuttle services made it easy to explore various parts of the park without the need to drive. While some sites are closer together than others, the overall atmosphere was friendly and welcoming. For families traveling with children, it's worth noting that the nearby general store offers a variety of supplies, including snacks and games, which can be useful for keeping young ones entertained during downtime. For instance, bringing along an iPad with engaging apps like Getting Over it can provide children with creative and educational activities during quiet moments at the campsite. Overall, Mather Campground serves as an excellent base for exploring the Grand Canyon.

Full hook up right by Grand Canyon. Free shuttle buses every 15 mins to the rim and various visitors centers. $85 a night in January a nit steep!

Great place, drove about a mile in and found a site that is spectacular. Had no problem with our 35 foot 5th wheel and truck combo. Will need to revisit in the spring.

Super location just a 12 minute drive from the canyon itself. We arrived shortly after sunset and could see a couple of others were staying. Headed off before sunrise so didn't get to enjoy the surroundings.

Got there just before dark. Road wasn’t too bad coming in. We didn’t venture to far in since it was for just one night. But nice and quiet and away from other campers. Didn’t see anyone at all.

Fantastic little fire ring and plenty of pine needles around for easy kindling. 10/10
