Wanting to go to Grand Canyon in October
I was wondering if anyone had a favorite Campgrounds by the Grand Canyon. We will be driving a 34ft Class A, dingy towing a jeep Cherokee. We would like full hook ups if possible, but not necessary....

We have been several times in October. Yes we have seen snow, rain and sun. The weather never kept us from doing what we were going to do. The snow at least for us has been short events a couple inches tops that melted quickly (not that it couldnt be more I guess. Last year we were there no snow it was sunny. The rim was nice low-mid 60's but hiking down into the Canyon at Skeleton Point down the South Kaibab trail it was 90 according to the thermometer they had down there.
Seeing the canyon with a mantle of snow is just a different view as are the rain and clouds and fog that settle into the canyon. We were also there in June last year and it was only upper 50's with rain certainly abnormal for that time of year but nonetheless it was and we stilled enjoyed it.
In addition to the trailer village in the park there is another one right outside the park in Tusayan. It is less than a mile to the park and perhaps 5 miles to the GC Village on the rim. It is called Grand Canyon Camper Village it does have FHU's and is an ok park. We have stayed there a couple times because I waited to long to make reservations in the park.
