Camper reviews for Grand Canyon National Park
Beautiful spot. Spent 4 days exploring on bikes and hiking trails.
Lots to explore either on bikes or trails. Friendly and clean
Long trip - well worth it
Tent camped here last summer...what a great escape from the Southern Az heat. Temperatures in the 50-75 range. Camp site on the western edge of the campground with plenty of room. 2 minute walk to the edge of the North Rim. Very clean facilities for non-rough campers. General store is well stocked in case you forgot something. Planning to return in the near future thanks to Campnab!
