First off I want to say it was one of the better campgrounds I have been too. Yes, everything is really spread out but the park tries to make it more convient by adding shuttles and such. The reservation box was a nightmare and took a good thirty minutes not to mention 5 minutes circling the 20 parking spots just... more

Mather campground is massive and set out very well. All sites appear to be level and the facilities are very good, all be it pay for use. Stock up on quarters and remember to have everything ready when you put the quarters in the slot for the shower as it starts your time from the moment they are inserted so... more

We spent 4 nights at Mather Campground, with no complaints at all. It is a 10 minute walk from the south rim, has a post office, cafe, general store and bank all within a 5 minute walk. Each site is nicely secluded within the trees, although a very large campsite and gets very busy, noise was not a problem at... more

OK, I have read the other reviews and will admit that this campground has a lot going for it. Most of the sites are spacious & shady, the forest is pretty, you have showers, laundry, a store, and restaurants nearby, and of course all the other attractions in the village area. The area is worth a look. But what are... more

We stayed at Mather during our first trip to the Grand Canyon with our 2 kids (ages 5 & 11). The campground has something for everyone--if you like "roughing it", you can ignore the (super clean) showers and laundry facilities and pitch your tent. If you like camping but still enjoy some comfort, Mather is perfect. There are several very... more

A number of people have emailed asking what pitch we had in the campsite. We camped at 101. From the main reception it is less than a 5 minute walk and it's the 4th turn-off on the right - less than a minutes walk from the road and toilets. We loved it here - it was quiet, sheltered and easy... more

This is just a basic campground for those who want to stay in a tent instead of booking a cabin. It has a few shower, laundry and bathroom facilities that are kept clean and equipped. Conveniently located to all the hiking trails, food court and a nice souvenir shop that sells, besides anything else, post stemps. more

The campground was clean and well manicured. Bugs weren't a problem either. They really packed people in, but noise wasn't an issue. There are many bathrooms and one shower building for the whole ground ($2 for 8mins in quarters). It was convenient to all areas of the Grand Canyon - the rim walk, convenience store, restaurant, and tram stop. I... more

Overall nice campgound. Centrally located to everything. Though you do not have a view of the canyon at any campsite. I thought I heard the other campground in the East entrance does.Campground is very rocky so tent campers make sure you have lots of cushion for the floor of your tent. We would stay there again. more
