    Mather Campground — Grand Canyon National Park

    Mather's Grand Canyon

    Everything close by, buses to Grand Canyon ( perfect for hikers) campsites a little close to each other , but I understand they are trying to accommodate many travelers . General store has everything . Will stay again on my next hiking adventure of Grand Canyon

    Mather Campground — Grand Canyon National Park

    I’ve camped here at least 25 times

    If you want to camp relatively close to the rim of the Grand Canyon, this is the spot. For “car camping” these are very spacious sites, all close proximity to a nearby restroom with flushing toilets, and also drinking water. Near the main entrance to the campground is a shower and laundry facility, should you need them. And a roughly 15-20 min walk to the rim. Or catch one of the frequent free shuttles. Also frequent elk wander the area and often pass right through your site.

    Mather Campground — Grand Canyon National Park

    Being close to the Grand Canyon is what gets it 3 stars

    Both sites I stayed at were very open. Bathrooms and spigots seemed really far away. The only positive I give the sites is that they are exactly outside of the Grand Canyon which made it easier to beat the crowds

    Trailer Village RV Park — Grand Canyon National Park

    Great spot. Close to Grand Canyon

    The whole area is beautiful, clean and right at the Grand Canyon.  Hook ups were all great.  Great market nearby.  Everything walking or biking distance.

    Pretty cool!

    Great camping spot. Lots of spaces. Coin operated showers and laundry. This campground is literally within walking distance from the Grand Canyon Village which was very nice. Beautiful place.

    Saddle Mountain (Kaibab NF)

    Worth it.

    It was late November when I drove out here. If google maps wants you to go anyway besides the main road 67 to the turn off DON’T do it. The road seasonal can close and even though it was open Google put my 4WD to the test. 3 hours and 30 miles of horse trails and snow banks still did not reduce the beauty of this site. It started snowing soon after I arrived so I didn’t stay long though hikers I met said there was good camping from a trail that goes down into the Grand Canyon from here.

    Saddle Mountain (Kaibab NF)

    Can you give 10 stars?!

    One of the most unforgettable campsites ever. Stunning views of the Grand Canyon as you camp just feet away from the edge. Dirt road was easy (2W will have zero issues), fires were not allowed for us but there are fire pits, and tons of space between campsites. Gets a little windy at night but no bugs. If you are staying near the North Rim, you would be a fool not to camp here. Big love

    Mather Campground — Grand Canyon National Park

    Location Plus

    This campground is very close to the south rim of the Grand Canyon which is great!  Camping here is dry, no hook ups at all, which was disappointing.  There is potable water to fill your tank and a dump at exit.  Our site was unlevel on asphalt  and tight to squeeze into.  There was a fire ring and picnic table provided as well as vault toilets.

    Mather Campground — Grand Canyon National Park

    A Perfect Stay at Grand Canyon National Park,great experience

     recently visited Mather Campground at Grand Canyon National Park, and I had an amazing experience! This campground is the perfect place to stay if you're looking to explore the Grand Canyon. It’s very close to the South Rim, so getting to the viewpoints and trails is super easy. The campground itself is spacious and surrounded by beautiful trees, which gives it a peaceful and relaxing vibe. There are picnic tables at each site, and I loved having a fire ring to enjoy a cozy campfire in the evenings. The restrooms were clean, and there’s fresh water available, which made things very convenient. I also appreciated how easy it was to make a reservation ahead of time. Since Mather Campground can get busy, especially during peak seasons, booking early is a great idea. It was nice knowing I had a spot waiting for me when I arrived. Although it can get a little crowded during the busy months, the atmosphere was still calm, and I met some friendly fellow campers. I would definitely recommend Mather Campground to anyone visiting the Grand Canyon. It’s a great place to stay, and the location couldn’t be better for accessing the park’s attractions. I'll definitely return on my next trip!
