It was great. Elk, trees, and good weather. Had fun on our bicycle. Only negative was showers were closed when I was there.
Good

Flushing toilets are great! And bathrooms and campground were very clean.

Great campground. Saw a lot of elk.

Great campground for a busy place. Included amenities that make it easier for families including flush toilets, sinks for washing dishes, showers and laundry. Camp hosts were kind and transported our firewood to the site. Sites were large and afforded privacy. I've recommended it to campers and the camping shy already.
Excellent

This was a lovely campground. Elk walked through the camp sites and were not bothered by people. The flush toilets were a great luxury to have. The camp ground was very clean and quiet. Would highly recommend staying here.

Beautiful campground in the forest of the Grand Canyon Nationalpark
@DiandraLA0EEFC · Camped on Nov 23, 2023 at Campsite #227
Great campsite! Minutes from the Grand Canyon (drive or walk), spacious, clean bathrooms, showers, laundromat, and helpful guides at check-in. Available drinking water (at spigots and a drinking fountain in the shower/laundromat room) was a huge plus. Note: sinks for washing dishes by the bathrooms are shut off during winter time but the drinking water spigots still work. We will be back!
Excellent

I love this campground, it is truly my favorite place I've camped in the southwest. Have stayed in July and October. The sites are pristine and not too close together, so even with neighbors you feel some privacy. Bathrooms with flush toilet are serviced regularly and very clean. In July, the shower I took was life-changing after a long, hot hike in the canyon. Stayed with my puppy this weekend and had a few unexpected (but very welcome!) visitors wander though camp a few times!
Excellent

My family and I stayed at site 227 over the Thanksgiving holiday. We really enjoyed seeing the elk and deer walking through the area. I especially liked that we could bring our dog. The site was peaceful, quiet, clean and well maintained. My only complaint was that the spot for our tent had a lot of rocks so it was difficult staking down our tent. Other than that, I would highly recommend this location.

First time camping at Mather. Soo, close to Grand Canyon South Rim ! Will come again
@KennethSF5883F · Camped on May 16, 2022 at Campsite #227
Site was clean and not crowded on top of others. Location was convenient to the village market and great loverlooks. My only complaint was that the shower only took quarters and both change machines were out.

Keep an eye out early in the morning and then again at dusk for the elk and deer that move through the campground. This year there was an elk cow grazing right by one of the bathrooms early in the morning.

We had a great time at Mather Campground. It was within walking distance to the Grand Canyon, facilities were clean, and very quiet setting.

When they say expect cold temperatures in Spring, heed the warning. We were prepared, but we woke up to a 17 degree morning with a light dusting of snow and were all a little suprised when the hot chocolate spoon froze to the table. Our capsite was beautiful with big trees and a nice concrete picnic table. The bathrooms were heated and clean. We were visited by Elk and deer daily, which the kids loved. Of note there is NO water spickets available until summer in the camp ground. You can fill water bottles at he visitor centers.

Mather Campgroup was clean, quiet, and beautiful. Many thanks to park staff that maintain great facilities even with so many visitors traveling through.

On my road trip through Utah + Grand Canyon, this was the worst experience I have had as a camper. There was no firewood, which is not that big of the deal. They would not upgrade my pass at the entrance from personal to private vehicle, the office in the entrance told me to go to the lodge and get into internet and try to upgrade it through recreation.gov, which it was not possible, it was clear on my pass that it stated that it only could be upgraded in the park. So I ended up paying my pass twice. Well, the showers and laundry closed at 4pm, I mean FOUR PM! I came back from hiking the Bright Angel Trail around 6pm, like me a ton of other hikers. I could not shower, I ended up staying at a Hotel in Williams. I could not stamp my passport because no one there knew where the stamps were, I was sent to half of the Plaza and I didn't find a place to stamp my passport, I ended up giving up and taking the road to Zion.
Now, the Grand Canyon and the hiking I gotta say was amazing, what a view and experience it was. I would go again, but I will make sure everything is working properly before going.

The campsite was amazing, just wanted to stay a few more nights. I feel that if the campers were not using the tent sites it would have been so much better. The campers can move from site to site, unlike a tent camper.
