Best RV Parks & Resorts near Tuba City, AZ

RV park options near the Grand Canyon include Cameron Trading Post RV Park, Trailer Village RV Park, and Grand Canyon Camper Village. Cameron Trading Post RV Park offers full hookups with 30-amp power but lacks restrooms and showers. Trailer Village RV Park provides pull-through sites with full hookups including 50-amp service, water, sewer, and cable TV. Sites at Trailer Village can accommodate larger motorhomes with adequate spacing, though privacy is limited. Grand Canyon Camper Village features electric hookups with both 50-amp service and water connections on sites with aging picnic tables. "Sites are close together and are relatively pricy, but with such close proximity to Mather Point it is to be expected."

For seasonal planning, most RV parks in the area operate year-round, though Desert View Campground closes from mid-October through mid-April. Reservations are strongly recommended, especially during peak tourist season from May through September. Cell service varies considerably throughout the region, with Trailer Village offering reliable Verizon coverage. RV campers should note that gasoline availability is limited within the park, with the nearest station approximately 15 minutes from Trailer Village RV Park. Many sites provide 50-amp service only, requiring adapters for 30-amp RVs. During winter months, temperatures can drop below freezing, necessitating hose insulation to prevent freezing.

    Mather Campground — Grand Canyon National Park

    Perfect!

    Since 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.

    Trailer Village RV Park — Grand Canyon National Park

    Pleasantly Surprised at Trailer Village

    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! 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.

    Mather Campground — Grand Canyon National Park

    Close to South Rim Visitor Center

    The 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.

    Mather Campground — Grand Canyon National Park

    A must stay in the Grand Canyon

    We 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!

    Grand Canyon Camper Village

    Close to the south rim with few cons

    Absolutely perfect to get in and out of the Grand Canyon south rim. Only one mile from the entrance. Great small town just outside the campground too. Quant shops, Starbucks, IMAX, airport, and restaurants. We got a full hook up pull through. Hook ups were adequate at best. Showers and restrooms were disgusting, but we did not use them. Absolutely no WiFi, cable or reception. They do rent movies for $1.00, but limited old copies. Site 51 needed a lot of leveling, but had a fire ring. Absolutely loved the elk coming most mornings, and mustangs in evenings. The National forest area behind the park, was good hiking. Trailer Park with some sketchy characters walking around was attached to the campground. Overall for four days it was ok, especially given how close it was to the park!

    Trailer Village RV Park — Grand Canyon National Park

    Great for larger RV’s

    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. There is also a bus stop at the entrance to this campground that will take you all around the canyon to see all of the sites. All of the spots are pull through and have water electricity sewer and cable. The cell service is ok depending on where you are at. There are a lot of people from other countries that stay at this campground so you meet a lot of nice people. The campground is very close to the rim and many amenities. There is also elk that will come through and graze. We stayed for seven days in August during the rainy season very pleasant.

    Coconino Rim Road, Fire Road 310 Kaibab Forest

    Awesome forest land Just drive slowly

    Drive down road. No camping in Grand Canyon National Park, but about half a mile down the road you cross a cattle grid. You’re now in Kaibab Forest and can camp here. We drive 2WD F250 with 30ft fifth wheel

    Two ways in. We came thru Grand Canyon Village, so only 0.7 mile on dirt road - but you need to pay for GCNP access ( or use America the Beautiful)

    T-Mobile, Verizon and Visible and Cricket all excellent in this area-so good that I don’t see the need to unpack Starlink. But between here and the village we had no cell coverage

    Filled water bladder at Mather campground. Looks like I can use their dump station also


Guide to Tuba City

RV camping near the Grand Canyon offers varying accessibility depending on season and location. The eastern South Rim entrance provides access to dispersed camping options on National Forest land, while several established campgrounds operate within park boundaries. Most sites sit at elevations between 6,000-8,000 feet, making summer temperatures milder than surrounding desert areas but creating freezing conditions in winter months. Cell service varies significantly based on proximity to developed areas and campground location.

What to do

Hike rim trails year-round: North Rim Campground provides access to hiking along the rim. "There is a nice trail that you can take from the campground along the rim to the visitors center (about 1.5 miles). Be sure to fill up on water before you go hiking because then you can drink water that's piped up from Roaring Springs, inside the canyon," shares Annie C. from North Rim Campground.

Wildlife viewing: Elk frequently visit campsites throughout the area. At Trailer Village RV Park, "Elk visit my site due to water being here," notes Sarah M. Another camper at the same location observed, "Female elk roamed all around the campsites, and one even wandered up while we cooked dinner to snack on the bush next to our truck."

Stargazing from dispersed sites: Free camping on Forest Service roads provides exceptional night sky viewing away from light pollution. "We were just a few feet from the canyon and were able to see it from our truck. It's 14 miles in on a forest road but the road is very well maintained. The road was also lined with spruce trees and was a very beautiful drive," reports Brittany K. from Saddle Mountain.

What campers like

Less crowded eastern rim access: Desert View Campground offers a quieter alternative to main visitor areas. "The fact that it's not in Grand Canyon Village means it won't be so crowded, which is usually what campers are looking for. The terrain is also totally different from the Village, much more desert-y and so offers a different experience," explains JESS H. from Desert View Campground.

Free camping with privacy: Dispersed camping on Kaibab National Forest land provides cost-free alternatives with varying levels of privacy. At Long Jim Loop, "This is a nice campground with good cell service. Campsites are grouped fairly close together but still dispersed, not bad on weekdays but quite busy on the weekends. Road gets quite busy in the evenings with people looking for spots," notes Laura R.

Full hookup convenience: RV campers appreciate the full service options close to park entrances. "This the only full hookup campground in the Grand Canyon NP. Spots are good size and pull through. Wildlife walks through regularly and for the most part it is nice and quiet," shares Nick J. about Trailer Village RV Park.

What you should know

Limited facilities at dispersed sites: Free camping requires self-sufficiency. At Coconino Rim Road, "Free camping along the road, we passed about 10 people before coming to a spot from GCNP. Camped next to the watch tower. Our spot was close to road so lacked toilet privacy, but the other spots were farther off the road," says Brady.

Road conditions vary: Forest roads range from well-maintained to rough. "I've been in some pretty bad roads for dispersed camping but this one takes the cake. These are by far the worst roads and not well marked spots for camping," warns a visitor to Kaibab Forest Dispersed FR 682.

Limited stay duration: Most dispersed camping areas have 14-day stay limits. Check current fire restrictions before arrival, as these change seasonally. "We stayed at a place with only water + picnic table ($30), instead of a place with everything ($79-89)," explains Robert-Jan A. about camping options at Trailer Village.

Tips for camping with families

Book early for established campgrounds: Mather Campground fills quickly during peak season. "This 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," reports Lauren R. from Mather Campground.

Prepare for weather extremes: Temperatures fluctuate dramatically between day and night. "We camped during Thanksgiving. It got below freezing so packed for colder weather," shares Jimmy M. about Trailer Village RV Park.

Choose sites with amenities: When traveling with children, access to water and restrooms simplifies camping. "Host is friendly. $6.00 a night with Senior pass. No soap so take some with you. Somewhat quiet but people (including us) wake up early to see the sunrise along the rim within walking distance," notes Sheila W. about Desert View Campground.

Tips from RVers

Campground selection for RV size: Not all campgrounds accommodate larger rigs. At Grand Canyon Camper Village, "So if you are looking for a Full Hookup RV parking/camping spot with no thrills other than being 10 minutes from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, this camping spot is for you. But be advised, it's expensive ($70 per night) and they really jam you in tight with other campers."

Elevation affects temperatures: RV campgrounds near Tuba City, Arizona experience freezing temperatures in winter. "It was pretty cold during the day and super cold at night. Along the trails there was still some snow in the shade," notes Taylor W. about Grand Canyon Camper Village.

Watch for dispersed camping road conditions: Many free camping areas require careful navigation. At Coconino Rim Road, "The trees here are very thin so you can see quite far. Many spots down this road so you can have your pick but you can see everyone. From our spot you can see 5 cars, and we are hundreds of yards apart."
