Outstanding campground! Free for 14 days, literally within walking distance to Grand Canyon Village. Beautiful sites and you can park off the main road or find a remote spot further in.

We explained that we were 55 feet and needed to verify ahead of time. Once we arrived we saw that the road was closed and we had a back up onto the highway and we were not very happy about it. I’m sure it’s a great place to stay but the Ranger could’ve let us know that it wasn’t an option before we drove in

We arrived at 4:30pm Friday and scored a wonderful spot about 100 yards from the dirt road, about a quarter mile from the north end of Long Jim Loop on the west side. There was a fallen road sign, "605B". The site was flat with a large fire pit. It looks like the site is in a wash as it gently slopes upward west and north behind us. Plenty of trees around to offer shade. It was so roomy, more than enough for our pop-up canopy, our 8-person tent, and our minivan. There were two trees perfectly spaced for our daughter's hammock, and some fun large boulders to put stuff on. Our nearest neighbor was 100 yards (close to the road). It was private and very peaceful although we could hear the din of nearly constant traffic on the 64 in Tusayan beyond the hill to our east. My kids had a blast stomping around the slope behind us and gathering firewood from the fallen trees and branches. (It burned so much better than the overpriced and damp stuff I bought at the General Store in Tusayan.)
When cars go by, a lot of dust gets kicked up so get a spot further away from the road. I counted at least 20 spaces up and down Long Jim. Whereas there were no campsites available inside the NP, it wasn't hard to find a spot and not feel like you would be crowding into someone else's space.
It is only a few miles south of the Grand Canyon NP entrance, but it took as long as a half hour to get in due to traffic during this spring break weekend. Tip: there are two lanes entering the park - take the right lane since it is much faster.
As a T-Mo subscriber, we had LTE roaming service from "Comnet". It was slow - more like 3G speeds, but usable.

We camped at this national forest and it was nice and peaceful. It’s actually right next to the Grand Canyon so it’s perfect if you visit it. The access to the campsites is not the best road but it’s like 30 secs of dirt so not that bad. The night is also very dark and silent.

This little area is perfect for those visiting the Grand Canyon! It’s close to the park and there are plenty of spots. Each spot had a fire pit which was a great plus.

Very quiet, we came here on a Monday at around 3pm. Plenty of spots available. Shaded, easy leveling. We rode our bikes to the rim on a paved bike path for 7 miles, perfect. I definitely will stay here again. Dry camping though.

Needed a place for the night so we could visit the Grand Canyon in the morning. This was it!
Road in was well maintained (no rain or snow in October) and there were plenty of spots. Arrived around 6pm and many were taken but we still scored a good one. I would arrive earlier if possible.
Dump station inside the park is free so that was an added bonus.
Would definitely stay again.
Our spot had a makeshift fire ring with some trash from the last guests which we took with us on the way out.

Great location off highway 64 near the South Entrance of the Grand Canyon. Got here in a Monday about 10 AM, multiple available sites. We stayed at the first spot on the left (approximately 2 tenths of a mile from the highway). Road noise not a factor for us. Someone did share the site with us for part of the time. Able to level easily. Some shade trees, but able to get solar. Extremely dusty site, but still enjoyed it. There is a mostly paved bike path (a few short road crossings weren’t paved) that takes you right into GCNP. Good Verizon signal. We were able to make/receive calls and texts along with stream videos. Would definitely stay here again for visit to South Rim of the Grand Canyon.
