"We only stayed in this campground 1 night and it was the only one with RV hookups in the area from which you could commute to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon easily. "
"Sites are fairly level and dirt/gravel. Hosts are very helpful. Laundry is clean. It is about 40 miles from the north rim of the Grand Canyon. Supplies are available. FHU sites as well as dry sites."
$25 - $75 / night
"Had a pull through site, 50 Amp service with water. Dump station near the entrance."
"The sites are pull throughs and some back in. Only about 40 sites. There is a general store and a restaurant on the premises. "
"We stayed two nights in Trailer Village RV Park at the Grand Canyon. We made reservations for our site four months ahead. That was necessary as the campground was full when we arrived!"
"This is a great campground in the Grand Canyon National Park it is close to the village, you can bike and hike fom this location."
$6 - $50 / night
"North Rim Grand Canyon: Lodge area is spectacular. Greatest views from there. Drive the scenic drive! (71 yr olds in 17’ trailer.)"
"Campsites came with picnic tables, fire pit, water nearby, and toilets. Shower and laundry near the camp store/ restaurant."
"We couldn't believe how empty it was, super close to the park and met some great people. Our water heater and furnace broke down and few people were willing to help."
"When I booked my stay the only available sites were non full hookups. Upon arrival I asked if any full hookup sites were available, and there were not for my entire stay."
"* Great boondocking campground 5 miles from the entrance of Grand Canyon National Park!"
"Great free dispersed camping immediately outside the Grand Canyon! There are an abundance of sites here, we spent about 45 minutes just picking and choosing our favorite."
"Stunning views of the Grand Canyon as you camp just feet away from the edge."
"I went here in December and it was super quiet. I saw one other couple camping here. Cell signal on VZ is poor but manageable if that's a concern."
$20 - $175 / night
"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."
"Some pull through sites and some just off the edge of the roadway. Pit toilets are clean. No hand sanitizers available and did not see any sanitizing going on for cleaning, as well."
"The dirt entrance road is well maintained. We are in a 40-foot motorhome, pulling a 24-foot trailer and found multiple spots big enough for us. Online reviews of this area say it's rarely used."
"Because it is so close to town, and easily averting to large vehicles, this site will attract lots of RVs. I have a minivan so I'm limited in privacy but it still worked."
$30 / night
"Dennis is super-friendly and helpful, and it’s a comfortable, well-attended site super close to the North Rim without the big expenses."
"Demotte was heavily wooded with fairly private sites. A variety of camping situations and equipment coexisted easily."
LegendSince there are so many reviews for this place I’ll keep it brief!
-$18/night, no hookups
-There’s a dump station with threaded and non threaded potable water as well as non potable water near the entrance, free for campers.
-There are also water spigots throughout the campground.
-No hookups here at this campground but there’s an RV park up the road with full hookups
-Generator hours are limited to 2 hours in the morning and 2 hours in the evening.
-The shuttle system is wonderful and is the reason we stayed here for so many nights. We were able to explore the whole park easily. (Being in a motorhome with no tow vehicle and only our feet and bikes to get around really limits our radius of exploration).
-The grocery store is close by and it’s great! It’s got a ton of souvenirs and any supplies you might need, and the groceries are decently priced and there are a lot of vegan products and a great beer selection!
-Laundry on site Showers are $2.50/5 min
-Their waste bins are single stream- trash and recycling all go in the same bin. Per sign at visitor center they recycle glass, plastic, and aluminum.
-Verizon had 5G signal, ATT had LTE, and TMobile as always lagged behind with roaming service.
Traveler$22. Dennis is super-friendly and helpful, and it’s a comfortable, well-attended site super close to the North Rim without the big expenses. The sites come with picnic tables, fire pits, have clean bathrooms nearby, and dumpsters for disposal. If you’re planning on a long stay at the North Rim, try to get here for a couple of nights.
LegendWe stayed two nights in Trailer Village RV Park at the Grand Canyon. We made reservations for our site four months ahead. That was necessary as the campground was full when we arrived! The sites were a good distance apart and there was green space between the RVs. Our site was on the end of a row, and there was a large grassy buffer between the site and the road. We even had plenty of room to put up a tent. Picnic tables, charcoal grills, and full hookups were all provided, including, to our surprise, cable TV! There was no WiFi and our Verizon cell signal was 1-3 bars throughout our stay. No video streaming, but text and email were fine. We have a 17' travel trailer and that plus two vehicles fit well into the parking garage area. There is also an overflow parking lot and you can pick up the Blue Line bus right at the Campground entrance station,which we did! Public bathrooms were clean and stocked, although we did not use the showers so cannot comment on those. Trash and recycle were available close to each loop.
LegendDesert View in Grand Canyon NP: This area is much less busy than the South Rim. Pretty views, but no trails down into the canyon. Ask the host for information for the short Sunrise Tr. It is only a short walk to the Tower. (71 yr olds in 17’ trailer.)

GuideThe sites are well spaced in the woods with picnic tables and fire rings. The bathrooms are spread out and have flush toilets (not vault). There are pay showers near the registration desk. There are no electric hookups or water hookups but there are water sources and an RV dump station. Get up early and have access to the Rim trail with few people around. By noon the trail is packed. If you get a chance stop at Desert View as well.
GuideDemotte was heavily wooded with fairly private sites. A variety of camping situations and equipment coexisted easily. The 15 min drive into Grand Canyon park was great (psssst cheaper gas inside of GC park than outside of it).
Pit toilets, potable water, and picnic table and fire ring were all appreciated. No showers and no Verizon cell service at all. I’d stay there again! Just wish there were more amenities.
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!
