Site was horrible. Picnic table unusable, slanted propped on rocks. Restroom was filthy. Campers next to me were vaping. I tried to switch sites but this system doesnt allow for that once you check in. I left and dispersed camp in the forest. Wasted 36.00 in fees.

Very good location that is at equal distance of 3 different restrooms but far enough to not be bothered by noises.

We spent two nights at Mather camp ground in May 2024, taking a tent site with our car. The sites are as described and advanced reservations are highly recommended. The toilet blocks are plentiful and well maintained. The shower block was a short walk away and welcome to have a hot shower at a small additional cost ($2.5 for 5 mins, change machine provided). pedestrian and cycle trails allow you to keep your car at the campground to explore the Grand Canyon park on foot or use the shuttle. Bring extra layers in shoulder seasons, with the altitude the nights can become quite cold in May, it was -1C/30F on both nights we were there.

Best place to stay in the Grand Canyon (besides, of course, camping at the bottom ;-) )We never got to try out the showers, but the bathrooms are clean, and the sites are great.

I've camped at Mather at least 20 times now and it's always a fantastic experience given it's "car camping." Nearly every site is excellent. I prefer to not be adjacent to a restroom or dumpster so keep that mind if you're a light sleeper or just don't want that amount of activity nearby. Can't wait to go back!

Quiet clean campground. Not a lot of privacy per say, but you do feel like you have your own space. The picnic tables at the site were very sturdy and clean. Bathrooms were clean. Nice spot!

Check in was smooth, campground and restrooms very clean and well stocked. I will be back.

Fellow campers were respectful and quiet and the experience was delightful. I enjoyed leaving the car at the campsite and taking the shuttle to trailheads and the Grand Canyon Village. I was pleased that everyone respectfully wore masks on the shuttles and in indoor spaces.

Spaced out campsite with all the amenities if that’s your thing. Grocery store, deli, coffee shop, shuttle stop, laundry, showers. Spotty cell service however so download offline maps.

The campground itself was great! Clean sites and bathrooms with running water, which was such a treat! Watch out for ravens, if you leave anything unattended at your campsite expect them to get into it.

Ear plugs are a must. The campgrounds are large with lots of people, car alarms in the middle of the night and people being noisy were encountered both nights I stayed here.

Well your website nor did my reservation emails from your team ever say the showers were going to be closed. I pretty much paid to park my van to sleep in. It was worthless to pay that much for nothing. Please update your website to reflect the status of the showers.
