Grand Caynon Camping South Rim-Mathers Question

how true to size are the campsites at Mathers camp ground? they have quite a few 27 ft pull throughs, we have a 35 ft MH and have fit into smaller pull throughts in Glacier and Yellowstone but knew in advance that those sites where bigger than listed, we are not sure about Mathers? Anyone? help needed
  • We camped there 3 years ago with a 29 BHS (33 1/2' hitch to bumper) with no problem. Loved the campground. I would try calling the station and ask, we did that when we went to Yellowstone last year...we were concerned about our length...we called, they said no problem in a lot of their sites, even though the web-site said otherwise.
  • I park my 33 foot TT (65 feet over all) at Site # 185 without any problem. While it was a few years ago, I think there are a number of sites that will take big rigs. The location is "ideal" a short walk to the bus stop to ride free to see all the park.
  • OP: It would be unwise to try to get your 35' into Mather campground.
    Use Trailer Villlage instead.

    Golden HVAC: A correction needs to be made on your post.

    Trailer Village is inside the park near the Rim. It has full hookups and is a great convenient place to stay for touring the canyon.

    Camper Village is just outside the park in Tusayan and that's where the I-Max is.
  • If you don't get any good answers, one solution is to stay at the Trailer Village near the park entrance, and then explore the area in a car, and check out the campgrounds for yourself. It also has the side benefit of allowing you a close place to get water and dump before entering the park.

    Across the road from Trailer Village is a large screen I-Max theater. It has wonderful pictures of several National Parks.
