Best Campground at Grand Canyon?

All,

We're thinking of a trip next summer to the Grand Canyon, then a couple of days near Vegas. We'd like to stay as close to the canyon as possible, but want full hook-ups. Any recommendations??
  • Trailer Village. When we were at Grand Canyon did not spend much time in the trailer park. Too much to see of the canyon so did not need any amenities at the trailer park.

    Use the bus service it is great.

    The canyon is best at day break and sunset.
  • Trailer Village is your best bet - full hookups and IN the park. nothing fancy or special about the cg, but you can't beat the location. You can pick up the shuttle bus right in the cg. Like another poster said, get your reservations as early as the system lets you.
  • Are you planning on the South Rim? Or would you consider the North Rim. 95% of all traffic is to the South Rim.
  • There is only Trailer Village in the park that has full hookups. I suggest you make reservations soon, as most are reserved early.
    Just south of the park in Tusayan is Camper Village with full hookups. Reserve as early as possible.
    The next closest parks with full hookups would be in Williams, 57 miles south of the park.

    There are no full hookups in the park on the north rim. The closest would be in Jacob Lake, 42 miles north.
