Easy access location
Sites are easy access to shuttle bus, and a short walk to visitor center. Bath houses are clean sites are a bit close but shaded and nice.

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.
The only downside is if you need showers or laundry services. Both close at 4pm each day so plan accordingly.
It's a big RV and tent park close to the South Rim and quit neat. Recommended to book beforehand. We stayed at a place with only water + picnic table ($30), instead of a place with everything ($79-89).
Translation: Almost nothing to say. It's just a shame that the showers and washing machines are a 10 minute walk or 2 minute drive from the Rv Park
Presque rien à dire. C’est juste dommage que les douches et les machines à laver soient à 10 minutes de marche ou 2 min de voiture du Rv Park
Full hook up right by Grand Canyon. Free shuttle buses every 15 mins to the rim and various visitors centers. $85 a night in January a nit steep!
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.
The park is wonderful got to see it. The camping spot are worn out in here section I was in some other of the others are real nice
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
Nice place, there are no showers and WIFI in the camp area, only solution is to go to the near campground that is 10 min walk
We needed hook-up and choose the trailer village over the Mather campground. Location is perfect but the campground itself is nothing special.
This National Park is like a small city and does a spectacular job of keeping everything organized, especially the shuttle buses that take you out to all the highlights around the park. Trailer Village camping is the typical close camping with everybody in trailers or coaches, but if you ask for the sites without electric you can Boondock away from others. We are in a skoolie and paid for two nights with full hookups just to be here, but then asked for first-come-first-serve sites without electric but have water and these are way better. You can't reserve them on the website so you have to ask when you arrive. An outstanding place to visit.
I would say that this review may be different from most. We arrived March 21 and departed on ‘March 24. We were able to call and get reservations last minute, probably due to the fact that most people did their research and knew there was a snowstorm coming. I knew we were supposed to get bad weather, but the day after we arrived, we woke up to about 4” of snow. The south rim and visitors center were closed. We made the best of our day and went out that afternoon during a break in the storm and we’re able to get to a viewpoint from El Tovar. I was very excited to see the canyon for my first time. Nope - Denied! The canyon itself was socked in with either a cloud or fog. The next day it snowed off and on, and the Grand Canyon remained closed. We drove over to Mather Point and were able to see some views! I really wish we could have seen the whole south rim, but we will have to come back. As far as the campground - we had full hook ups, which was very nice considering the weather. Water, Sewer, 50 Amp. No dog park, you just walk the dog and pick up after them. We had enough cell service that we could watch YouTube. ATT. No Wi-Fi, which is to be expected. My suspicions are that during good weather, you would have a very difficult time getting a spot at this campground as it is very convenient to the park. I think I would have loved it here if I was able to get out and enjoy it more, but we were basically stuck in the fifth wheel. We are a 40’ fifth wheel and the space was 50’ and easy to pull into. Also easy to get out of. I would recommend this park.
Stayed here right before the big snowstorm that hit Grand Canyon. Walking distance to the market and accommodating staff helping plow us out of 7” of snow!
Overall great stay. Be sure to stock up on propane before getting to the site! There was no propane available in the area and had to drive to an hour down to Williams for a refill.
Nice camp you can walk to the rim or take a shuttle several good spots Highly recommend the drive to Watchtower Don’t believe the good Wi-Fi In description there is NO WI-FI
Overall a decent campground. Can be noisy. Sites are close together. Full hookups. Overall not a bad site or location. Near the market and post office.
Not too spacious but a really nice campground that has some privacy. If you’re lucky enough sometimes the Elk will stay in the campground with you!
Good campground in the Grand Canyon National Park. Great bike trails to get around. Bathrooms could use update but clean. Elk right in the campground… And I mean right in the campground!
This was a good experience for the most part. The women’s bathroom seemed to lack cleaning and toilet paper during most of the 3 days we were there. But being this close to the canyon with full hook ups and lots of trees was awesome.
FHU sites for all, $75/night.
Pro: inside Grand Canyon NP.
Cons:
This campground was great. Right in the middle of the National Park With full hook ups. Not as pretty as Mather Campground next door but we had a great stay with AC for the dog on hot summer days we were there. Had plenty of elk come through our site while there which was really cool. Definitely recommend!
Great location, but run down. Bathrooms are clean, but falling apart. Not enough staff around, but they are helpful and friendly.
Der Platz als solches ist sehr ordentlich und gepflegt. Die Wege sind kurz und man ist in 20 min zu Fuß direkt am South Rim. Es fahren bis 11 Uhr abends kostenlose Shuttle Busse damit man nicht laufen muss im Dunkeln. Leider ist das Personal am Eingang sehr unfreundlich. Zudem sind die meisten Plätze leicht schief man kann also ohne etwas unter zulegen nicht grade stehen.
Beautiful level spot on a solid surface pad. Had room for our 28 ft RV and car plus tow. Bathrooms could use a upgrade. Loved being so close to everything. Zero WiFi.
Clean, get to see elk right outside your window, picnic table, full hookups including sewer.
This 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.
Fairly nice RV park. Sites are close together and are relatively pricy, but with such close proximity to Mather Point it is to be expected. Verizon service was fantastic and the sites were nice and level. And we saw tons of elk right next to our site! Would stay again if hookups are needed during our next visit!
We were excited to have a full hookup in a park like this. Everyone is very nice and it's easy to get around from this location.
Only campground in park open this late in season no hookup water or dump. No problem really. Ruby’s RV not far away with full hookups, dump & water. Plenty of space there for more $$$ . Best to show up mid morning fop park site as it’s first come first serve. Nice 12 mile bike trail all the way to red rock other direction up to best view.
