Huge USFS Campground with level tent pads and super easy access to GCNP. Many first come sites held back for use and finding those couldn’t have been easier. The host was so pleasant and friendly, vault toilets were clean, and of course the setting was outstanding. Will definitely use again if visiting South Rim!

This was an excellent campground for visiting Grand Canyon. A quick 10 minutes outside the main entrance to the park. This campground and restrooms were impeccably clean and offered sites that were nicely separated from one another. The camp hosts were friendly and helpful. There’s a section of about 14 campsites that are first come first serve so if you’re in the area and you don’t have a reservation try and get here early, and see if you can snatch one.

Great place to access the Grand Canyon at a lower rate than most accommodations. The camp host Brealen was very nice and has been there every summer for 10 years. Although it’s 142 spots it doesn’t feel crowded, it’s laid out well and there’s plenty of empty space. We found someone’s lost dog and reunited him with his owners. Heard an elk cry in the distance, too.

For $10 it's a great place to stay to see the grand canyon. Only downside is the traffic getting into the park. Found water spigot in day use but it didn't work. No trash cans, all dumpsters are in day use. There are unmarked and unmaintained trails thru and around the campground. There are several loops including a group loop, only Elk loop was open. No camp hosts. No one ever came by to check if we had paid. Very unsafe, no police presence or enforcement rangers. Vault toilets only. Snowed when we were here but we are self contained in our trailer so it didn't bother us.
