"Adjacent to horse site but wasn’t an issue. Bathrooms with toilets were close but showers were very far and pricey at $2.50 for 5 min."
"If you want to camp relatively close to the rim of the Grand Canyon, this is the spot."
"Full hook ups, clean bathrooms (the shower was not open when we visited) Grocery store, deli, and restaurant are also only a few minutes walk away. Elk and deer in the campground in the morning."
"The spots are quite large and we were lucky enough to get one with a large treed area next to it. Full hookups and all."
"Right on the edge of the Canyon, watching the Arizona sunrises every morning. It was truly heaven on earth."
"I can def see where in rain or snow you'd need 4WD and a little offroading capability. We arrived around 4 pm and all but the spots along the rim were gone."
"Parked & Hiked In Very Primitive located next to creek sandy Campsite with Primitive Stone Fire Pit"
"Close to tons of activities, lots of hiking, wildlife, water sports. Campsite itself is nice, similar to many National Park Service and National Forest Service sites I've been to."
GuideWe did group camping at site 6 in the Sage Loop. Site was spacious with great stone picnic tables and plenty of room. Adjacent to horse site but wasn’t an issue. Bathrooms with toilets were close but showers were very far and pricey at $2.50 for 5 min. The campground is very dark which is great for star gazing but tricky for getting around at night.
RangerMost amazing experience we’ve ever had tent camping. Right on the edge of the Canyon, watching the Arizona sunrises every morning. It was truly heaven on earth.
GuideIf 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.
LegendYes, it is a bit pricy at $65 per night, but it is only 20 minutes to the canyon rim ! The sites are a little close together, but there was enough space for everyone and everything. I’ve been to campgrounds that are a lot tighter. Full hook ups, clean bathrooms (the shower was not open when we visited) Grocery store, deli, and restaurant are also only a few minutes walk away. Elk and deer in the campground in the morning. I even saw wild horses one morning on my walk to the canyon.
GuideI consider myself some what ocd when it comes to preparing for camping trips, although on this occasion, of all things to forget, the tent was left behind! That's all part of the adventure though, right? Great location, close to the rim of the canyon, convienent bathrooms although the shower was a bit of a walk from the campsite. How can you complain about having access to a shower though when camping? Overall, great experience.
GuideYou will most likely stay here, but hopefully this will prepare you more for it. It is the only place in the park with hookups, so people are “forced” to stay there because of the location.
It is very expensive, the campground itself is very crowded and you get little privacy. There is a limited amount of toilets. They say there is a shower, but this is a 15-20 min walk from the campground, the same for the laundry. They say there is wifi, but there is no wifi. We were lucky to stay in the B-loop, meaning we were close to the exit, but you might end up on the other side of the camp, and that is quite the walk to the entrance.
We were waken up at 4am by the garbage truck…
We were looking forward to staying here but found ourselves very disappointed
TravelerWe ventured up the mountain for a single night of camping on son's Senior road trip. We made it up pretty easily in a 2019 Ford Expedition. The road was pretty bumpy in areas. I can def see where in rain or snow you'd need 4WD and a little offroading capability. We arrived around 4 pm and all but the spots along the rim were gone. We got the last spot on opposite side of road which was fine for our needs. So if you want the step out tent/van view, get there early. We camped there in mid June and it was still 39 that night with a nice breeze. Stunning sunset and sunrise. Super friendly fellow campers. Everyone just mingled and chatted and then all settled in for the evening. Few people came in close to sunset but peak was full. There are many disperse spots down the mountain so dont freak out if get to top and full...wont have to drive ALL the way back down. One way trip up took us about 45 mins.
GuideThis is an outstanding rv park. We brought our 38ft MH and toad into Grand Canyon for this trip and it was plenty accommodating.
The spots are quite large and we were lucky enough to get one with a large treed area next to it. Full hookups and all.
Great walking distance to the South Rim and easy access to take the toad for a drive to Desert View.
This place is very very popular and fills fast, so always make reservations. Never expect to just pull in and get a spot. Keep an eye on it online...we got our spot for two days due to a cancelation. When we checked to see if we could extend by a day, we were told they were actually overbooked.
GuidePlenty of bathrooms within walking distance. Freshwater available at spigots but check with camp host of it's turned on.
showers and laundry located at campground entrance . You can also purchase ice here during buisness hours.
3 Day trip in October. The temps dropped into the teens so be ready for some cold temps at the rim of the canyon.
5 people - 2 two man and 1 one man tents. Plenty of room but be careful not to camp outside your sites boundry as they're not clearly sectioned between sites.
Loads of elk walking through the campsite!
