Mather Campground

Location is close to the rim, visitors center, showers and bathrooms, and the market. Bus system is excellent, but walking/biking paths are not well marked and can be confusing. Lots of pull through sites and a non generator loop! Not suitable for big rigs over 30 feet. Trailer village is available for bigger vehicles and offer f... more

Campground in the Grand Canyon park that is clean, quiet and very convenient. Walking trails are easy to follow to shuttles or other areas of the park. We were lucky to score an open site, but suggest making an advance reservation.

We had been traveling for weeks with our dogs and horses. First off we boondocked on FR 302 in Tusayin, but the noise from the Grand Canyon Airport was horrendous. The next day inspite of it being Spring Break, we were lucky enough to land one of the two sites with corrals at Mather Campground in the group area. We had a great ... more

I'm sad to report that NPS camping continues to be a dissapointment for us, with few exceptions (such as Fruita or Watchman). Check-in staff unfriendly, campground roads tight and crumbling with encroaching tree branches to scratch your precious aluminum. Camp neighbors loud through the night, and seemingly nobody around to enforce rul... more

Great place to stay in the winter campsites in Pine loop. Some aren’t very big, just enough to park our 25 ft RV in a few places. Showers and laundry are located about 5 min walk away but toilets were close by. Lots of rubbish bins around. Good place for a quick drive to catch sunrise at the rim 🌅

Stayed for 3 nights at this site and really enjoyed it. Quiet 2 of 3 nights. Elk hanging out just near our site 3 of 4 days. Walking distance to the shuttle service (awesome). Less than 5 minutes to the General Store which has a deli (pizza, hot sandwiches), gift shop, firewood (Buy it here, don't bring it from out of state) and ne... more

We stayed three nights in our tent. I highly recommend booking your spot well in advance. We got lucky and found nights available about a month in advance, but our dates were very flexible as well. You do have to pay $30 to get into the Grand Canyon and we paid $54 ($18 a night) for 3 nights online. All other campgrounds in the area ar... more

We spent three nights tent camping in Mather Campground. Booking is best accomplished well ahead of time and online at rec.gov. When we visited in May there were no vacancies and people were being turned away. The location is perfect and there's a shuttle stop at the entrance to the campground. You can actually walk to many of the ... more

We were here last week of April. Great space between sites and really quiet. We had a little path close by to the bathrooms. The walk to Camper services was pretty easy. The walk to the rim wasnt too far and paths were easy to follow. Bathrooms were moderately clean and the showers were a bit dated but clean enough Cell cover... more

The sites at Mather campground are well spread out. There are no hookups though it does have one centrally located dump station. While it is a large campground, you are not camping on top of your neighbors. Each site has an asphalt pad and some fine tuning with leveling blocks was necessary. Bathrooms have running water and are wel... more
