Trailer Village

When we got there it was pouring down rain and had to park away from registration cabin and walk in the rain. Turning down the lane there was a really big tree was not sure if camper was going to make it under tree limbs without scratching top of camper. One big rig could not make it and he had to back up all the way down and come in from wrong direction to make it into the spot. Nice paved spots, easy in and out. Really quiet and clean. Dog area full of cockel burrs so always picking those out of dogs fur. Easy access all areas of the south rim. Power went out a few times for a couple of hours and cable out the entire time there with very limited cell service. They charged us more saying we took the last spot but definitely not the case unless many people where no shows.

The reason to stay here is the location - walking distance to the Visitor's Center, shuttle stops, and the rim. We had reserved a "classic" site, but were given one of the regular sites when we arrived. It was a nice upgrade. FHU, level, pull-through, decent space between sites.

The "classic" sites were gravel and sloped and not as attractive,

It is a pretty short walk to the Visitor's Center. There is a shuttle stop right at the entrance to the campground.

Perfect location for getting on the trails early in the morning.

The park is located right near a lot of points of interest. A free shuttle service comes right to the campground near the check-in desk every 20 minutes or so. Make sure you get a site with sewer so you can shower in your trailor. Otherwise, you have to get a token and drive to another campground to get 5 minutes of water in a not-so-clean shower. Each campsite is allowed one token per person /per day. Each token gives you five minutes of water and the timer starts as soon as you put the token in...so be ready! Those showers were not clean.
This particular site was very close to the bathrooms and they were pretty clean.
With the number of campsites in that area and the fact that it's a national park, there was a lot of traffic in/out both early in the morning and late at night. Quite a few noisy dogs as well, but that has nothing to do with the campground. We saw wild elk walking around the campground every day as well.
We didn't have any cell service in the campground or at the visitor center, where they advertise it. Other visitors voices their frustration with that as well.

Site was roomy though on an incline. Be sure to take levelers if you want the fridge to work. Many Elk around the camp in May so don't leave food out. Plenty of trees and Ravens. Roads to sites are very rough.
No cell, WiFi or TV.

The dump connection at our site was at a higher spot than the RV hookup and it also had no threads or way to hold the hose elbow. Had to use wife to hold it down and it still spilled out everywhere! Not fun. No way to angle hose properly, so it was a struggle.
I would insist on a more level site and hose hookup that works for next time (if that's possible).
Be sure to show your Good Sam card to get discount if website does not take it. They will do retroactive refund of discount for the paid first night.

First off the sign says stop here to check in but don't pull forward and park up the road and walk down to check in or the bus drivers will get angry as they can't turn around and they come every 10-15 minutes. Check in was easy the guy was awesome from Charlotte NC, he gave us tips told me which sites were good etc etc. The bus stop was right next to our camping site. You can also walk to the pub and grocery store from the sites easily on a small walking path.

For a hiker and bicyclist, the location was great. We biked to most places at the park. The bathrooms were not nice. There was not even a playground for the kids. There were elk that roamed thru the campsite which was cool. The bike ride to the visitor’s center at Mather’s Point was the closest place in the park and it was a longish bike ride. I didn’t even enjoy sitting outside, which I usually do. I was surprised at the cable. It was very good. We could not keep our sewer hooked up because we were warned that the ravens would peck thru it. People were getting up at 4:30 slamming doors to catch the sunrise.

Said I had 3bars 3G, but I could only call out sometimes and when I did get a call, it went in and outt. No texting, or internet.

When you pull in, it isn't like your typical national park campground. It's seems sort of old, sad, and frumpy. The weeds are tall, the bathhouses look antiquated, and the sites aren't level. With that said, the grand canyon is within walking distance, which brightens the entire stay. The walking/bike paths wind through the park and you can access them from the campground. The park is an absolute treasure and I am hoping the national park concessioner, Delaware North, will take the time to make the campground a treasure. If it wasn't for the location, it would be a 1.

A lot of pavement and symmetrically angled pull through sites. Everyone gets a table and a fire pit. Things were well maintained. The showers were OK. The laundry room was out-of-this-world. At least 12 washers and dryers. This place is like a little city during the high season. It's a bit of a longer walk to the Canyon itself than I would have thought, but it's do-able. The elk don't seem to mind all the generators and pavement.

Visited in a 32' Class C. No tow car, so appreciated the bus service (runs starting early enough for sunrise and late enough for sunset). Sites kind of close, but plenty of room for chairs and awning and site had an outside grill. We were next to bathroom, which was dated, but clean for being so busy. Loved that Elk walked around the park in the evening. This was a busy RV park, but truly worth it if visiting the grand canyon for a few days.

Being within walking distance, or a quick shuttle ride away from the Grand Canyon makes this RV park a must! While the sites are small and the facilities aren’t anything fancy, the location simply can’t be beat. We rode our bikes to the Grand Canyon for sunrise and sunset and were there in less than 5 minutes. The RV park was also filled with elk which was fun! There’s definitely not a shortage of hikes and other activities to do in this area. However, if you’re just hoping to check the Grand Canyon off your bucket list like us, 2 days was perfect. We can’t wait to go back and be more adventurous though.
