Grand Canyon Campgrounds
South Rim, Grand Canyon Village, AZ

There are actually two campgrounds located within Grand Canyon Village on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. Mather Campground is for both tent and RV’er but there are no hook ups, it runs $15 per night. Adjacent to Mather Campground is Trailer Village. Trailer Village does have hook-ups and runs about $30 per night. We made our reservations well in advance but were told that it wasn’t near as crowded in early spring as it is in the summer months. If you are going to visit in the summer months you need to make reservations (there is a fee) about 6 months ahead.
Grand Canyon Village has a nice
store where you can buy souvenirs and groceries. There is also a gas station but of course the fuel is much higher than you will find outside the park.
Both Trailer Village and Mather Campgrounds are only about 1/2 mile from the south rim. The RV sites are pull through and many of them have shade trees. Each site has a grill and a picnic table, Trailer Village has electric, cable, water and sewage hook-ups. Nearby there is a shower house and laundry facilities in both campgrounds.
The visitor center inside the village is a great place to visit to get information and history regarding the Grand Canyon. There are some hands-on programs for the kids, we watched a group of children doing crafts with leaves.
