Grand Canyon camp grounds

Depends a bit on the size of your RV. There is a privately (Vendor) operated campground WITHIN the Park itself. but they state "nothing over XX Feet" and they are NOT kidding. I took my car through that campground. NOT my 38' Class A.. and some of the places were tight for the CAR.

There are several CG's outside the park as well.

I'm sure that was Trailer Village - they are the only Vendor operated RV park within the National Park. They run the lodge and the RV park, kind of like Lake Powell.

Trailer village we stayed there 3 weeks ago. As close as you can get .

O.K. I'll try again.... :)

I just don't want people with 40' RVs think that they can't fit in Trailer Village RV in Grand Canyon Nat'l Park.

Here is an excellent blogger, by the way, and with their 40' motorhome they stayed there. Here is her campground review as she does on all their stays. Check them out...she does a fabulous review with pictures.

The blog is worth reading, too, especially if you enjoy staying in public parks or boondocking with a big rig.

From the pics, it doesn't look like much has changed, - lots of overgrown trees that extend out into the drives. What we had trouble with was the turns at the end of the drives. I had trouble with a 30' travel trailer when I was there. I don't think I could fit through the drive in the second picture with what I have now unless I really didn't care about paint.

I'm just saying - like I said I haven't been there for a while. As with any park, plan your entry and exit.

Here are some photos of Trailer Village RV in Grand Canyon Nat'l Park South. Many big rigs 40+ go there including HDTs and big 5th wheels:

AS mentioned earlier, some turns in these parks are tight. Is that still the situation, drive a 45 foot motorhome?

Thanks for the replies. Trailer village didn't have any sites for our dates. Ended up with reservations at Grand Canyon Camper Village. Per reviews, it's a little run down, but it has full hookups and didn't require a deposit.

We had some Elk come into the CG in the evening looking for handouts. Pretty cool, have fun.

Last time I was in Trailer Village, it had some tight turns with trees in the campground. That was quite a few years ago, maybe it is better now.
