Is good to have bathrooms and a laundry after the long hiking .

It was a great campsite that was totally its own thing, while being just a short walk from the grocery store in the park that has everything you need for a night of camping, including firewood. Then, on a slightly longer walk, you find the rim trail. That first view is breathtaking and has a couple of benches where you can sit and take it all in! I highly recommend this campsite as part of the Grand Canyon experience!

Wonderful stay. They have showers and laundry. Showers are $2.50 (quarters only) for five minutes. They have a change machine but I would make sure you have it, just in case. Spaces are close together but because we went on Thanksgiving, it wasnt too crowded. There was also potable water at the camp site near the bathrooms. Please make sure you throw away your trash, otherwise the ravens will spread it throughout the campground.

Very close to other campsites. Really no privacy, so so close

Site 272 Pine Loop was great. Flat, good table, not too close nor too far from the restroom. Maybe 10 minute walk to the grocery store and 20 minute walk to the rim. Very easy to catch the blue shuttle.

Sites are spaced well, bathrooms are clean and there is ample shade for tents.

Was warned of ravens getting into things but they were a non-issue, the songbirds in the morning were lovely, and the shuttle stop was close by and great for the hike in the morning!

Drinking water pump was not working, reported to the rangers at checkin kiosk, but they didnt nt event know about the issue. Shower was closed at 6:00pm and we arrived campground at 5:45pm.

We loved pine loop campground, it was nice and dark. Everyday when we woke up, we saw elk and and deer walking through the camp sites. It was so awesome to see them wandering by. We stayed for 5 days and 4 nights and had enough time to see all the major sites: the desert tower, hermit’s rest, the geology museum, Mather point. We were very close to the village to buy ice and firewood or a bite to eat. The free shuttle rides were beneficial as well. We also enjoyed the ranger talks in the morning and evening. They all also have shower and laundry facilities if you need them. The Grand Canyon pine loop camp ground is the campground for tent camping and we loved it.

It’s a beautiful place to camp. Restrooms are close by and they have water location. Elk are always roaming around camp.

Beautiful campground with very spacious sites. I was amazed how far back off of the road we were able to camp. The sites were beautiful with plenty of shade, elk meandering through and curious raven sentries that seemed to enjoy talking back.

Nice Shade and Fire Pits. Clean. Spaces are fairly close together but you are in a National Park. Can't beat that.
@HopeR585 · Camped on Apr 10, 2021 at Campsite #272
Nice campground with super clean bathrooms! The sink for dishes behind the bathroom was not running, unfortunately. And laundry and shower facilities were still "closed for the season." But otherwise I was very pleased. Bright Angel trail was a dream, especially between Indian Gardens and Plateau Point. Catch a sunset if you can, so worth it!
