Be traveling mid September to mid October. Do you believe we will need reservations along the way and at the Grand Canyon. Willing to stay in public or private parks.
Forum Discussion
At the Grand Canyon, are you considering the South Rim, the North Rim, or both?
Was there last year in the same time frame. Went to the North Rim first, the last week of full operation for the CG inside the park, near the lodge. Highly recommended. Reservations suggested, there were only a small number of sites that were not occupied. As an alternative, there's a USFS CG outside the entrance to the North Rim.
For the South Rim, the best experience will be to stay at Trailer Village inside the park. Strongly recommend reservations there. Lots of site there, but they do fill up quickly. There's a shuttle service throughout the South Rim Village area, and there's a stop right at the entrance to Trailer Village. 3 major shuttle loops, easy to change from one to another and see the majority of the South Rim via shuttle, no need to drive anywhere.
