Excellent campsite with picnic table, fire pit, ample space between site and a nice and professional camp host.

We had a blast!!! It's very well located, away from all the chaos but close enough to get to all the hot spots. The weather was gorgeous despite the random snow storm the last day (we were prepared). Just remember, it's q canyon and you have to be prepared for ALL weather! The host is sooo nice! Great guy! It was a fun experience and we'll definitely go back

Campsites are a bit tight.

Many uneven sites. Camp hosts were unwelcoming and unhelpful. Campsite #5 incorrectly setup campfire is on the backside of the door which makes no sense Campsite #1 damaged

We loved being able to get into the South Rim of the Grand Canyon and go check out the area from the village and then travel east to the campsite. We stopped every pull out along the way, did a little hike and watched the sunset from Lipan point-which was breathtaking!! The campsite itself had super clean facilities, spacious sites between each other and a quick walk to the fire tower lookout. Overall, we can't wait to visit again and will definitely stay at this campground again!

Site 5 was great for a small camper. Evening ranger talk at the tower amphitheater was ver good.

Didn't get to stay. Problem with rental car caused us to change plans.

Being so close to the Rim of the Canyon and the tower was unbelievable. It was the perfect location
