Grand Canyon without a toad?
How necessary is it to have a car when visiting the Grand Canyon from the south side? Thanks-- Mick

The Grand Canyon South Rim has an RV Park, in the center of the park, called Trailer Village and books thru Xanterra. It's often full, even during the off season. If you can get in there...great. The shuttle system operates right from the campground.
If you can't get a spot there, just outside the south gate, about a 1/2 mile, is a place called Camper Village. It's not the most beautiful, but it's clean and they always have spots. It's located in the small town at the South entrance called Tusayan. From Camper Village, you can walk to the front of the campground (100 yards) and get on a free Grand Canyon shuttle. The shuttle is there to serve the town.
The problem with staying in Wiliams is that it's a 65 mile drive to the park entrance. The train is neat, but expensive as stated, and doesn't leave you much time in the park.
Lastly, if you have a small to medium RV, you can park inside the park if you get in early, probably around 7am - 8am. I wouldn't chance finding a spot for a DP.
