"The South Rim Campground is similar to other national park campground in that it provides convenient access to park activities and trails, but it stands apart due to the fact that the camping fees are"
"Most of the outer sites are tucked into the forest so there is a decent level of privacy. Lots of deer frequent the area, we saw several on each trip."

LegendSome sites you are really close to your neighbors and don't have a lot of privacy. The sites around me had a lot of trees for shade and I was able to hang my hammock in my site. Vault toilets in the campground and they were actually stocked with hand sanitizer!! If you have a large RV or camper, there may not be a lot of sites that work for you, check the photos and use the length filter when looking at sites!
Deer roaming through the campground and one hung out by my site for awhile.
ScoutWe booked camping here as a great way to access the hot springs at Orvis. It’s $50/night per person, and you have access to the hot springs all night! The campground is basically just a gravel lot but has beautiful views of mountains and grazing cattle. There was plenty of space for our 21’ travel trailer and saw bigger rigs as well. Pets allowed in campground area. There is a kitchen available during the day as well as free coffee in the morning. There are multiple ponds to soak in, free showers, free lockers. The stars were beautiful at night and the crowds really cleared out after daytime visitor hours. Our favorite time was early morning- drank our coffee in the south pond (that we had to ourselves!!) and watched the birds.
Scout5/29/25-Rough rd. Not real bad. Great fishing. 1 bar cell, version. No water. Have 17’ trailer.
GuideCampsite had electric, and firefighters, and picnic table. No water is avaliable in the park or campgrounds so be prepared.
TravelerOur truck did fine going up. I would make sure you aren’t too low to the ground. A little rough in spots but go slow and it’s no problem. The campsites are easy to find. We got to be by the stream and back in. Which was great!
TravelerStayed here the end of may and just drove up no reservations needed. Well maintained campground. Laundry room was very nice and clean. Enjoyed our stay
TravelerThere’s a Short dirt road (a mile or less) that was in Great condition to reach the camp area. 5 or 6 other campers but we Found an awesome very secluded spot next to the river. We have a 34ft travel trailer and f-250 and was very easy to access. Drove into silverton for water at the Rv park. They told us to watch for moose.
GuideExisting campsites lots of space
GuideStayed at a small back-in site with 30 amp & electric in our camper van. The site had a fire ring, grill, and picnic table. Loved that they had a store, laundry room, and firewood for sale. The store closes at 5:00 & we arrived at 5:10 but the office lady still checked us in and made sure we had firewood. The campground is well-maintained and clean.
