    Overview

    Mather Campground is located on the South Rim of Grand Canyon National Park in northern Arizona. Grand Canyon is one of the most inspiring landscapes on Earth and draws over five million visitors per year to its spectacular scenery. The campground is large and can accommodate a variety of needs and comfort levels. It is the only campground within Grand Canyon Village. Scenic overlooks, the park's free shuttle bus system, the Visitor Center, the general store and hiking and biking trails are all within a few miles from the facility. The campground is at an elevation of approximately 7,000 ft. Summers are sunny with high temperatures generally in the 80s. Thunderstorms frequently occur in July, August, and early September. Fall and spring are mostly sunny and cool with the occasional snow. Weather is variable; visitors should come prepared.

    Recreation

    From the campground, campers can access the Greenway, a paved walking and biking trail that leads to scenic overlooks and the Visitor Center. The Rim Trail, a paved walking trail, is one mile away and runs for 14 miles along the edge of the canyon. Leashed pets are allowed on both trails, but are not permitted below the rim. Bright Angel and South Kaibab trails descend into the canyon. Their trailheads are a short shuttle bus ride from the campground. The park's concessionaire also offers day and overnight mule riding trips into the canyon and along the rim.

    Natural Features

    Mather Campground lies beneath a mixture of a tall canopy of Ponderosa pine, Pinyon, and Juniper trees, providing most campsites with ample shade. The campground is one mile from the rim of the canyon. A visit to the canyon during sunrise and sunset yields spectacular views of yellow, orange, red and violet hues in the canyon walls. Layers of rock display billions of years of geologic history. Campers can take a short shuttle bus ride from the campground to the Visitors Center. Visitors can also visit Yavapai Geology Museum, where they learn about the forces that formed the canyon. Below, visitors can see the mighty Colorado River, which flows 277 miles through the bottom of the canyon. Wildlife abounds on the South Rim, including elk, mule deer, coyotes, lizards, songbirds and the endangered California condor. Although condors nest below the rim, they can be seen soaring several thousand feet above the canyon in search for carrion.

    Nearby Attractions

    Numerous visitor centers, restaurants, museums and shops are within a shuttle bus ride from the campground. Beyond the village, Desert View provides one of the widest views of Grand Canyon and the Painted Desert. The Desert View Watchtower displays the talent of architect Mary Jane Colter. Tusayan Ruin and Museum provide glimpses into the life of a small Ancestral Puebloan village 800 years ago. Both are within 25 miles from the campground.

Therefore, no commercial tour groups are allowed at Ten-X Campground. All violators will be removed from the campground immediately and given a fine for violating the Code of Federal Regulations.

    Overview

    The North Rim Campground is located on the remote and rustic North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park in northern Arizona, approximately 210 miles (338 km) from Grand Canyon Village, AZ on the South Rim. It is nestled in a thick ponderosa and aspen forest just on the canyon's edge at an elevation of 8,200 feet. This facility is perfect for tent camping and smaller RVs. Due to its heavily forested location, large and/or high-profile RVs cannot be accommodated. The maximum length in each site description is the combined length of both the RV/trailer and tow vehicle. Many sites are not level and have obstacles such as tight curves and narrow passages through trees. Some sites may not accommodate trailer pop-outs or awnings. The maximum vehicle length permitted on the Cape Royal Scenic Road, Widforss Trailhead, and North Kiabab Trailhead is 22 feet; plan accordingly if renting an RV if you wish to explore these other areas of the park.

    Natural Features

    North Rim Campground is shaded by large ponderosa pines interspersed with aspens which turn golden in the autumn as it is situated at over 8,000 feet in elevation; however, it only takes a short walk to peer over the canyon rim to see millions of years of geologic history. The North Rim lies on the Kaibab Plateau, an area that has been uplifted by geologic processes. Many species of wildlife call the Kaibab Plateau home including the tassel-eared Kaibab squirrel which is found nowhere else in the world.

    Best of USFS!

    Eight minutes from GCNP entrance, off the road with beautiful trees and stars. The camp host was so friendly and shared that many sites are reservable ahead of time but also there are always first come first serve sites set aside. Clean roads, easy access sites, level spots for tenting and even easier for RV. Would recommend to anyone wanting quieter setting with park/town convenience!

    An experience in itself!

    RV or tiny homes…this place is AMAZING. We were in the RV side very clean, level elite back in with a concrete patio. Picnic table AND propane fire pit provided. The clubhouse has a bar and grill with a GIANT patio, live music, a store, heated pool and spa, a large game lawn and trails behind. Backs up to a national forest. Bathrooms and laundry clean and convenient. Well organized and friendly staff. Cons: trains in the distance and some interstate noise but that’s to be expected. The camp is NOT right up on the interstate you just can see it from various sections of the camp. We only had one neighbor at our site since it was on the end which was nice. Would DEFINITELY stay again.

    Tried this place on a whim. Lots of people pass by here but it has such a cozy homey feel we ended up loving it and extended our stay from one night to two nights. Lots of forest roads to play on near by as well if you have off-road toys.

    Perfect campground

    We spent two nights back in end of May in our campervan and it was the perfect camping experience. Bathrooms were scattered around the campsite and close by. Showers were hot located at the main office with laundry, all coin operated. Elk were at the water station which was so cool! We had our own fire pit and picnic table. FYI if you travel in May- pack warm clothes for nighttime. It dropped into the 40s at night outside and we were very cold. Also the general store was a couple min drive away, great selection of merch and groceries. The butcher has great quality meat for sale, the burgers were amazing. Starbucks is in the lodge next door for a special treat :) There’s also a free shuttle service from the camp to different lookouts/trails around the Grand Canyon

    Nice alternative to inside NP

    We arrived in the evening without booking and found many opportunities as first comes first serve. The price for the single size RV was 20$ (double size 40$). Toilets are new and clean. Very nice host. As the camping ground is very close to the Grand Canyon NP, I can fully recommend staying there.

    I only stayed one night but could have made an entire vacation in this one location. Close to Winslow and the Grand Canyon, beautiful park setting, excellent park store, and the staff were wonderful. They do have food service, however I did not eat there. Plenty of clean shower and bathroom facilities and options for family entertainment. Two large dog parks with towering pines all around.

    So good.

    LOTS of tree coverage. Can hang a hammock. Sites are big and not on top of each other. Central to everything on the south rim. And friendly to people on big trips that are wandering.. they always seem to have a site for you, the rangers are exceptional. And don’t feed the fat squirrel at the visitor center… he lies, he can find his own food.

    The Fred Flintstone park behind is a fun extra that they don’t charge campers for. And the goats are super cute

    Better choice for Grand Canyon camping

    After spending three nights at Trailer Village, we moved to this campground for the next two nights. It is so much better and affordable so if you don’t need hookups, this is the better choice! (but be aware there is a 30-foot limit).

    Sites are all paved, some are pull-thru and some back-in. Not all are completely level, but we made it work in Site 5. 

    The bathroom was basic but clean and had an ADA-accessible stall. Certainly in better shape than the one in Trailer Village! If you need showers or laundry, both are close by in Camper Services. Didn’t use either during our stay but nice to know they are there. 

    You can catch the shuttle bus to various points in the park at the entrance to the campground. Shout out to Ranger Diego at the check-in window – had a great conversation with him! 

    Wherever you decide to stay in the park, make sure you make reservations in advance– it was completely full on a weekday in early April (and we woke up to snow!).

    Two camps in one!

    Stayed in Mather proper for two nights and Trailer Village for one. Both require reservations well in advance even in late October. Both were full. It was cold (24 degrees in the morning) and lots of campfires were burning. Nice shower and laundry facilities. Centrally located and within easy access to the shuttle buses. Pretty close quarters for my style of camping but tolerable.

    Great park. Within an hour to the south rim of Grand Canyon. We had a 30 amp back in. Site 21 water and electric only. Some sites were FHU. Some sites had hookups on "wrong" side. Sites are small and close together. We enjoyed our stay here. Clean bathrooms, nice laundry room, great pool and hot tub. Camp was very clean and people friendly. About 6 miles to Williams AZ where there are restaurants and grocery.

    Big, Quiet Campground - But DUSTY and NO WATER or DUMP

    This is  a pleasant, out of the way campground. There is water on site, but you are NOT ALLOWED to fill your RV from it, as water has to be trucked in. There is no dump station either. You have to travel a good 10 miles into Grand Canyon National Park to dump your load.

    The sites are gravel, and they have a mix of pull through and back in sites. A good number of them are first-come, first-served. The roads are dirt and are VERY DUSTY. Don't be surprised to see a film of brown dust inside your rig if you leave the windows open.

    The hosts in the Black Bear Loop were very friendly and helpful, but not nosy like some hosts can be.

    I should also mention that, during my September stay at least, the place was absolutely SWARMED with yellow jackets. I never got stung (they aren't very aggressive) but they constantly buzz you and land on you. Gets annoying.

    Overall, this is a decent campground but I would probably not stay here again due to the extreme hassle of having to drive 20 miles to get to water and a dump station.

    Good spot in National Park

    Generally the spots are pretty close together and you can see the road in many places (definitely from our spot!). Bathrooms are nice, including a water spigot and dish area. There’s a shower and laundry spot at the front of the campground and the check-in/out process was easy!

    The no generation loop (juniper) was pretty quiet, and it was surprisingly rainy and cool during our visit. Close to the visitor center, shuttles, market area, and a short drive to the Grand Canyon village

    Great place to stay outside GCNP

    We stayed here because it was very reasonably priced for a cabin when we were visiting the Grand Canyon. After a very hot day seeing the Canyon, it was great to return to the pool. There was also a hot tub (age 14+ only). The cabins didn’t have air conditioning but it got pretty cool at night and there was a fan so we slept great. Everyone was friendly. Nice large and clean bathrooms and showers. Would definitely stay here again if we come back to visit!

    This is a new resort camp ground. There is still construction going on and a few things are not ready. Pool is not done but in progress. We have been here twice in a months time with grand kids. It is a great location to enjoy things to do in Flagstaff, Williams (mountain coaster) and even headed up to the Grand Canyon. The bath houses are great and very clean. It’s been pretty hot this trip but loved the cool evenings. We definitely recommend you make on effort to stay here.

    Horrible place

    This place is a scam! The spots are literally on top of each other. From the front door of your trailer you have 4 feet and then your stepping on someone's sewage line. Then they market all kinds of amenities but they are never even open. The golf carts are only from Thursday at 3 through Sunday. The Cafe is only open Friday through Sunday. The horses... they have a few and there is only 1 ride a day, if you can get a reservation. They have the INDOOR pool closed for the"weather"... it was sunny outside. Not that it is that great anyway. It is so small that you can barely walk around the pool much less sit down. The deck around it is also dirty disgusting. If your looking for somewhere quiet to relax and camp, DON'T go here. It's like grand central station and all you hear at night is the highway. If I was prepared to dry camp, I would have left the second I got there and camped in the woods. Don't let the website fool you like it did me. It was a waste of my vacation.

    Mather Campground — Grand Canyon National Park

    Pros & Cons (rooftop tenters)

    Pros: bathrooms with flushing toilets are pretty close to all sites and always had soap and TP; washing sink for dishes right outside the bathrooms to cut down on disposable product waste; drinking water stations at multiple locations; had showers & laundry available; check in was easy and staff was incredibly friendly & helpful with finding us a level campground for our rooftop tent; plenty of trees for hammocks and hanging shower bags if you have one; campsite located within the park and you can get multiple good views of the canyon from under an hour away. they also had a free shuttle; campfire rings with grates to cook food and SMORES!!

    Cons: campsites pretty close together; showers cost $2.50 for 5 mins run time (quarters only, change machine on site); only ~20 showers (10 mens room, 10 womens room) in 1 location (could be 1+ mile round trip to walk to them depending on site location) for the whole park, we didn't have any problems but it could be; showers weren't as clean as other facilities considering they're paid for; showers also not 24/7 which sucks for night owls like my husband and I who prefer to shower right before bed

    North Rim Campground — Grand Canyon National Park

    Quiet wooded campground

    The north rim may be less “grand” than the south rim, but it’s way quieter with less tourist. Our site (19), was pull thru, no hookups. Not very level & you may have trouble getting a bigger rig into this campground. Very nice camp store. Lots of trail heads w/in walking distance. Bath rooms were just OK. Books up fast of course, be ready 6 months(to the minute) to reserve a site.

    Grand Canyon-Williams KOA

    Perfectly fine for first time campers

    The campground is exactly what a person would expect from the KOA brand. If you are traveling with a family and it’s your first time tent camping, this will make your experience enjoyable. There is a KOA store but it has business hours. Luckily there is a gas station that is walking distance. Pool and spa were nice. Bathrooms were clean.

    The only downside is the noise from the highway. Oh, cell service is not good. You’ll have to rely on their Wi-Fi.

    Flagstaff KOA

    Standard KOA experience

    Great site if you need a quick stop in flagstaff. Camp is clean, great staff, AC and water available at most sites.

    The camp had lots of available spots when I stayed in early June. But it looks like the place is super packed in high season. Don’t expect a quiet remote experience.

    Camp is close to the highway. Mild but constant car noise.
