$6 - $50 / night
"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"
"Bathroom and drinking water is close by and every bathroom has an outdoor sink for washing dishes and animal proof trash cans."
$29 - $39 / night
"On-site host. Reservations were easy to make. This is a great place to set up as home base for a few days while you explore the area."
"Registration cards (after paying online) are at the easy to overlook sign at the entrance.
Non-electric sites are the first ones."
$6 - $50 / night
"WiFi available at the general store, but it’s usually very busy so not as useful as you might like."
"Two trails lead to the lodge and visitors center along the north rim. Beautiful treed campground with quiet hours, generator free hours, bathrooms, showers and laundry. Lovely, just lovely."
$12 - $50 / night
"Great campsite very close to Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park and only 40 minutes away from Zion National Park. Pay station located at the campground so have $5 cash per night to deposit."
"Quiet, only $5, and clean bathrooms. I arrived in the evening and only 8-10 of the sites were occupied. All others were quiet and respectful. Variety of shaded spots."
$25 - $50 / night
"It’s located in the gorgeous little town of Kanab. We purchased a campsite just to park our van after a long day of hiking."
"We arrived after the office was closed-The office left our paperwork on the cork board out in front of the office. Bathrooms are really clean, almost look like they were recently remodeled."
$52 - $253 / night
"There are also small cabins you can rent but we stayed in one of the shared bunk houses with 10 beds, toilet, shower and sink."
"it’s right next to the river so it’s easy go take a dip and cool off. running water in front of the store and the store serves beer and food. can’t beat that when hiking for days."
"Very quiet place to stay near to the entrance of Zion Park. Access to the dispersed Campground is a little bit rough but if you go slowly it’s ok. You can see very beautiful sunset and sunrise."
"So close to Zion this is a great free camping spot. The access road is a bit bumpy as the pavement is potholed but no trouble in our Class C."
GuideSpacious and comfortable, not overly busy. WiFi available at the general store, but it’s usually very busy so not as useful as you might like. Was able to get cell service also at general store, and nearby at the village and on Bright Angel Trail. Showers clean and functional, laundry machines available.
Nearby to stunning views, conveniences, and short drives from amazing overlooks. Well worth the stay.
ScoutPros: 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
TravelerWe stayed at this campground for two nights in September. Checking in was easy, informative and we also got a detailed map of the campground. Bathroom and drinking water is close by and every bathroom has an outdoor sink for washing dishes and animal proof trash cans. Campsites are nice, clean and big, every one of them has a picnic table and designated campfire. There is a campsite host on site 24/7. We had a nice, quet stay at this campground, and if you're lucky you'll see deer/elk early in the morning around your tent eating breakfast :)
GuideWe 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
TravelerWe didn't have a campground reservation, but there were plenty of available spots. Two trails lead to the lodge and visitors center along the north rim. Beautiful treed campground with quiet hours, generator free hours, bathrooms, showers and laundry. Lovely, just lovely.
RangerGrand Canyon is a professional setup. They know how to do things, while this is the most popular park in the US, they are very organized. Yes, we had to make reservations and we were camping in a tent 3 nights and had to change campsites each night. Plenty of bathrooms with running water/flush toilets, showers are in a central location close to the check in site, and showers were $2.00 for 8 minutes. Shuttles arrive frequently to take you where you need to go, or the marketplace is a short walk. We got our water refilled at the marketplace for free. Mather is a tent campground, RVs are at a separate site.
TravelerWent camping during the winter (Jan) in a Tesla Model 3.
First come, first serve campsites. 15$ a night.
Campfire setup ready to go, nearby market to buy supplies. Bench at each campsite, nearby restrooms and water. Trash disposals.
Nearest supercharger in Tusayan, about 10 miles away from the campsite.
TravelerWe stayed in a pull through RV site. Short walking distance to the bathrooms. The site was basic, offered a picnic table and fire pit. The sites are relatively open, not too private but not on top of each other either.
The campground offers do it yourself laundry, a short drive from the sites, and showers. There is a restaurant and small store within the campground a short drive away with ample parking.
This park is absolutely beautiful and when we return we will be staying here!
TravelerThis campground was a great way to start out our journey down into the canyon. There was running water in the bathroom and places to dispose of garbage as well as a place for campfires. Only down side was how crowded the campground got.
