Nice campground in the trees. Great ranger at check in, very helpful and nice. Grateful for the park being open during the shutdown. Thanks to the park system for all their work, we are extremely appreciative.

Very enjoyable experience at campground. Lots of other campers also for this early in the season. Cool weather but sunshine the following day gave us great views of the canyon.

The campsite was organized, clean, and the rangers were very helpful. We couldnt have asked for a better experience staying there.
Excellent

We had a wonderful time. It was nice and quiet at night, we actually slept more than 7 hours in our tent and then hiked the Bright Angel trail part way down. One learning experience for us: we should have walked across the street kitty-corner to the bus stop to catch the bus going in the opposite direction (to the left not to the right) and then we would have arrived to the Bright Angel trail in about 5 minutes. As it was it took the bus about an hour to make it all the way around to the Bright Angel trailhead stop - including an extended stop for the driver to take a break at the visitors center where he left the bus for a while and then came back!

Awesome camp at Mather in November. Rest room was very clean. Big size for RV. Laundry and shower at the entrance, very convenient. I would definitely come back

Nice campground with clean restrooms. However, the showers which are run by a concessionaire are less than satisfactory. Good size sites with trees though parking even a small trailer can be a challenge. Easy walk to the bus stop and a grocery. While in the park, leave your car and take the bus. The bus routes transport you to most areas of the park and into the town at the south entrance. Service begins at 4:45 am and ends an hour after sunset. There is only one dump station for a fairly large campground. There is only one hose to fill your freshwater tank and it also has to be used by those cleaning their sewer tanks since the the dump station water line is broken. You will need patience. I would stay in this campground again.

Did not expect the heated bathrooms! And since it snowed and rained throughout my stay, this was a welcome perk. The pull-through parking was an added bonus since older folks like me always worry about fitting into our spaces. Beautiful surroundings, quiet and respectful campers, welcoming staff. The Lodge staff were wonderful. Thanks for a great experience.

This place was great! Love all the trees and enjoyed the fire pit. We had a generator and they where on top of it to make sure it was not on pass the cut off time. More in the morning and not so much in the evening but we get it

Nice campground,

Sadly it was too cold for us to camp, 22 degrees, to make it comfortable. But I drove through the CG and I loved all the trees and more spacious sites than often seen in a NP. Unfortunate that there isn't a shower building in each loop, everyone has to walk or drive to get to it.

The campground was beautiful! It was quiet and not too crowded. The biking trails were awesome too. It’s really close to the south rim. We took the shuttle and rode our bikes. It was perfect. I’ve waited 50 years to see the Grand Canyon and it was spectacular

We loved this campsite and area very much. It was clean, and the site was right next to the bathrooms and spigots for water. We had a great time and the staff were super awesome and helpful. Will come again!!

Campground was excellent. Everything was clean and well kept. All the staff very polite and accommodating. Shower and laundry facility was great when we used them. Elk were always walking through the campground.

The facilities were clean. The campground was full, but other campers were reasonably quiet.

Beautiful campground within walking distance of the rim, the Marketplace and biking trails. Short generator hours.
