Trailer Village RV Park — Grand Canyon National Park

The camp ground was not very well Maintained but check in was easy. All AMPs are 50 so they give you a converter if you have a 30 amp RV. If you do you end up having a converter the circuit may trip. You would still need to pay the entrance fee into Grand Canyon National Park. Our site was 62 and we were close to the bus stop for the free shuttle bus around the park. If your RV does not have a shower when you check in they will provide you shower tokens which is about 1/4 mile away from the site. The weather is cold and can be as low as 20 degrees at night.

General: It is disappointing when the National Park Service outsources its campgrounds to an “authorized concessioner” who, in turn, puts profits over maintenance as is the case with this campground. However, if you want to camp within the Grand Canyon, this is one of two choices. This one is primarily for large RVs but for anyone who wants FHU sites. 

Site Quality: Sites on one side have the advantage of paved streets/camper pads while the ones on the other side are mostly dirt. As would be expected in an RV park, sites are close together with zero privacy between them. Although the sites appear level, they are not completely so. 

Bath/shower house: Only two bathhouses, each with three stalls and two sinks for the entire 123-site campground. If you want a shower, you have to go to Camper Services (drive or a 10-minute walk). The bathrooms were last cleaned two days before we arrived and when we left after four nights, they still had not been cleaned. No ADA access or stall, surprising in a National Park. 

Amenities: The only “amenity” would be the shuttle service to take you to various points in the Grand Canyon, but this is offered by the park service, not the concessioner. 

We chose this “campground” because we were meeting friends who needed the hookups. We don’t mind paying for a nice RV park when needed but $75 was a hell of lot to pay just for hookups and no amenities generally offered by other RV parks. IMO, two stars is a generous rating for this campground, but you are a captive audience if you want to stay within the park with hookups and they know it!

You 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
