“Overall a good campground and a nice base for visitng the Grand Canyon”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed August 4, 2012

Overall a good campground and a nice base for visitng the Grand Canyon.

Postives

• Free shuttle bus that takes you to canyon view points
• Staff in the campground reception was very helpful and friendly
• Bathrooms as well as public areas of the camground were cleaned regulary


Negatives

• Showers are around a half mile walk from the campground cost $2 and were very busy expect lines during peak periods.
• Camground has the parking lot feel, many units very close together. I would not recommend for those who want to spend a great deal of time at your site or want privacy.
• Bathrooms are aging and in need of an upgrade

“You can't beat the location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed July 19, 2012

The roads are in disrepair, and the sites a tired looking, but hey you're right in the heart of the grand canyon south rim! No wifi but they have decent cable tv. Would stay here again!

“Compared to private RV sites this one is disappointing”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed July 17, 2012

The sites are not level and you feel like you've been put out of eyesight for other visitors. The restaurants are dated and could do with a freshening up, the food is pretty avenge too. No showers here either. The shuttle buses are excellent and get you to all other areas in the park easily. Best part was when an Elk just strolled up to our site, antlers the whole bit, very cool. Oh yeah no pool ere either.

“Disappointing RV facilities for a National Park”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed July 10, 2012

I was once again more than underwhelmed by the quality of the RV facilities at our National Parks. Although not tightly configured "parking-lot style" like Yellowstone, the RV sites were adequately long and provided basic electric, water, sewer, and cable, but many (including ours) were unlevel side-to-side as well as front-to-back. Unfortunately the bathhouses did not include showers and lacked even simple shelves and/or hooks necessary to hold your shave kit. I imagined some bureaucrat in Washington declaring, "Let them use their RVs." when I asked the host where the showers were. I was told to follow a paved path for a short 5-7 minute walk to the nearby Mather Campground. They tell it to you this way so they don't have to say it's nearly a mile round trip (I measured it at 4/10 of a mile each way from the RV village entrance. If you're in the back of the village you'll walk least a mile. Luckily they do have parking if you can drive and avoid having to take a shower after walking back from your shower). Did I mention they are coin operated? Two dollars for eight minutes. This is long enough for most folks but you can't incrementally add additional quarters so if you have long hair enjoy the extra minutes of hot water to "get your money's worth." Forget wi-fi or cell coverage at this facility. We were consistently frustrated when the local market wi-fi was down for over two days (the "IT professional was out sick" we were told). I just can't help from feeling RV'ers are second class citizens at these National Parks and that the RV facilities are just an afterthought. Unfortunately they are the only game in town so if you want to stay at the park you'll put up with mediocre quality and lack of amenities. I would consider the RV park in Tusayan if I returned. Tusayan is just 7 miles South of GC Village just outside the park.

“Great location, right in the park!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed July 3, 2012

This was an awesome park for r.v.'s. The best about it, it's right in the park. And if you don't want to drive around to see the sites, there is a FREE shuttle that stops right at the campground. Perfect! The only downside..no showers here. But full hook-ups make up for that. Will definitely go back.
