2. Tuweep Campground — Grand Canyon National Park
Supai, Arizona5 Reviews•19 Photos•48 SavesTuweep Campground is an extremely primitive campground located 3,000 feet below the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. As with all backcountry areas in Grand Canyon National Park, advance reservations are required. You must obtain a backcountry permit through Recreation.gov to camp overnight. Access is limited to seasonal 4x4 trails which require high clearance and can be adversely affected by wet weather. Be sure to bring full spares and repair equipment as a tow from this area can cost over $1000.
The attraction of Tuweep is its proximity to the unique and stunning Toroweap Canyon. Visitors to this area will appreciate views unlike those of any other overlook in the park. Volcanic activity has left this deep side canyon full of black lava flows and scattered cinder cone formations. Tuckup Trail and Saddlehorse Loop Trail both leave from the campground. These are short (less than 5k) trails that offer even more expansive vistas, overlooking both the canyon and the largest rapids on the Colorado River. Neither trail has shade or water. The trails were first established through this inhospitable area by prospectors, and an antique road grader, Adam’s Leaning Wheel Grader is visible along the approach, abandoned in 1921.
There are nine sites in Tuweep Campground with picnic tables and composting toilets. No fires or charcoal grills are allowed, but fossil fuels stoves can be used. There is no water at the campground, so bring at least 1 gallon/person/day if you plan to stay here. Be sure to pack out all trash and store food in your vehicle. No pets or stock animals are allowed due to the sensitive nature of the desert terrain. Please stay on paths and avoid walking through the dark cryptobiotic crust which is an essential part of the ecosystem.

4. Havasu Falls
Supai, Arizona1 Review•6 Photos•388 SavesArguably, one of the most stunning natural sights in the American Southwest is spectacular Havasu Falls, which tumbles over a redrock cliff and into a vivid turquoise pool. The brilliant colors and contrast of the scene make it appear surreal and otherworldly. But this is no roadside attraction. The only way to enjoy this sight is to work for it—namely, by making the 10-mile hike down into Havasu Canyon, a tributary of the Grand Canyon. But before you can make the hike, you have to obtain a permit from the Havasupai Tribe (not the national park). Due to the sensitive nature of the canyon, and the limited space in the canyon to accommodate visitors, permits are very, very limited—and dayhiking into the canyon is not permitted. Permit reservations become available on Feb. 1, with camping available from Feb. 1 through Nov. 30. Permits are $100–$125/night; all reservations are for three nights.
If you’re fortunate enough to obtain a coveted Havasu Canyon permit, the journey starts with an 8-mile trek from Hualapai Hilltop down to Havasupai Village. The route is waterless and mostly shadeless, where summer temps can soar above 100 degrees. The village has a lodge, cafe and small store. From the village, the “campground” in Havasu Canyon is another 2 miles down the canyon, and is not a traditional campground. Instead of designated campsites, the camp area is a mile-long stretch along the banks of Havasu Creek where you can pitch your tents wherever you like—however, you should choose sites away from the creek, and that don’t damage vegetation or nearby cliffs. There are picnic tables and vault toilets located in the camp area, and water can be obtained from a nearby spring; this should be treated (boiled or filtered) before drinking. Campfires are not permitted, but contained camp stoves are allowed.
Campers in Havasu Canyon are invited to explore at will, but be courteous of their tribal hosts, and respect the land. Swimming in the brilliant blue pool beneath Havasu Falls is a must-do, especially on sweltering summer days. From the campground, you can hike 0.5 mile down the canyon to Mooney Falls, another spectacular waterfall in a sheer-walled amphitheater of red rock. Adventurers can continue down a series of ladders, steps and steep trail to follow the creek up to 8 miles down the canyon, where it empties into the Colorado River. This trail is strenuous and not recommended for children.

9. Crazy Jug
Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona2 Reviews•5 Photos•83 SavesGreat views from both points of Crazy Jug Canyon, Tapeats Amphitheater, Steamboat Mountain and Great Thumb Mesa. Forest Road (FR) 425 is a sparsely traveled, primitive road through a valley of oak, aspen and Ponderosa stands. Interspersed among those stands area number of sunny, upland meadows and several excellent campsites. This is an excellent place to see deer, eagles, and coyotes as well as all of those smaller but just as interesting critters that frequent these habitats. Near Big Saddle point there is a large stock corral and FR 292 heads south to Crazy Jug point. The ride here is uphill and washboarded, but the view will make you forget the effort. A number of loop rides are possible off the main route using different combinations of roads Forest Road’s 425, 214, 272, 272A and 292.

Fantastic spot
Fantastic spot for camping. We went in late November so pretty cold but nothing a camp fire can’t fix. Great open space. Easy access for my 4Runner. Would recommend this camping spot.

Coconino Rim Road, Fire Road 310 Kaibab Forest
Great location
You turn off for this site in the Grand Canyon national park. The road then takes you just off the national park onto national forest land - make sure you go through the gates and see the forest signs. Room in the trees for a few vehicles, it was just us for the night and silently quiet.

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!

Kaibab Rd 302
Quiet close to Grand Canyon
Spent two nights here. 10/10 spot. Close to Grand Canyon south rim and town. I would get groceries and gas before coming here as it was quite expensive at 4.99/gal for diesel on 11/2
Julie M.GuideCoconino Rim Road Dispersed Camping
Great spot so close to the Grand Canyon
I was uncertain if this was a legitimate site or not, as we seemed to be on National Park land, but once you turn off onto Coconino Rim road, and pass the cattle grid you are on Forest land. So all good! Lots of space on flat land.

Kaibab Paiute RV Park
Great location. Friendly folks.
New campground with clean private showers and restrooms. And at $30 a night a real bargain.
Pull through sites with full hookups and a friendly staff makes this place a winner.
ron R.RangerKaibab Rd 302
Great little place out of the way among many great places around here
I stayed at the top of the first Hill on the left near the information station. T-Mobile cell service is decent. You're far enough away from the road to not hear traffic noise however the helicopters go by from 8:00 a.m. until about 8:00 p.m.. they come by about every half hour. Being that it's the beginning of the road 302 you do get a little bit of cars driving for further spots. All in all great little place.

Jacob Lake Campground - Kaibab National Forest
Terrific spot
We stayed here four nights while visiting Grand Canyon National Park. The site was spacious, well separated from other sites, level, and directly adjacent to a network of easy hiking trails that we took our dog on every day. Water nearby, clean vault toilets, and a very short hop across the highway for gas, food, and essentials. Hosts were very friendly.

Trailer Village RV Park — Grand Canyon National Park
Nice Visit
Located inside the NP and close to the south rim made for place to spend 5 days. Checking in was ok, the guy checking us in appeared to be a bit stressed when 4 RV's wanted to check in at once. He did a great job of getting our group of three together. Utilities were well placed and trash cans we close by. Rode our bikes from the park to the various places on the south rims. I would put this on the list of the places I would come back to.

DeMotte National Forest Campground
Close to GC North Rim and very wooded
Demotte 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.- TThe E.Scout

Long Jim Loop Campground
Great Location
Super close to the Grand Canyon. Easy access. There are some rough patches in the road but even large rvs can still come and go easy as long as they slow down.
The location can be busy especially during tourist season. I went during the off time so it wasn’t too bad but it still had quite a few people.
The cell coverage was good enough for phone calls no problems but internet was really hit and miss. Mostly miss.

Old Grand Canyon Airport Forest Road - Dispersed Camping
Lots of privacy
Very easy to find. The gravel road you go down to get there is extremely well kept and there are lots of sites to choose from.
If you are in a big rv I would definitely suggest stopping at one of the first few sites that are wide open field type. You won’t fit in any farther down the road.
The size of the sites vary and some are have narrow paths to get to but overall I think pretty much anyone could find a site that suits them. I really liked being able to get further into the woods so I had lots of privacy and could not see the road.
The cell signal fluctuated a lot but overall it was pretty good. The farther down the road you go the worse the cell signal gets.

Forest Service #225 Road Dispersed Camping
Easy on, easy off, big open sites
The site was really easy to get to, right off the road. We ended up taking the first available campsite and it’s really nice big wide open area with an established fire pit. You can hear some road traffic but it’s sporadic. Two other vehicles passed us looking for campsites one was a bigger RV and the other was an SUV. Neither one came back down so they must’ve found a spot.

Needs TLC
Surprisingly the gravel site was level but over grown by weeds. 294 sites plus tent area and only a quarter occupied. Small old restroom. Pay for your showers. Has laundry room. Has picnic tables. Great location to grand canyon. Close to a great general store and restaurants. This would be an awesome place with some TLC. Way over priced .

Nicely spaced sites and very clean vault toilets , better than many full hookup RV sites This is what camping should be at all campgrounds, not the crowded fit in as many as possible to make
