Wonderful Stay at Grand Canyon RV Camper Village!I had an amazing experience staying at the Grand Canyon RV Camper Village. The facilities were clean, well-maintained, and very accommodating. The location is fantastic — close enough to the park to enjoy stunning views and quick access, but also peaceful and relaxing.The staff was friendly, helpful, and attentive, making check-in and check-out smooth and enjoyable. I appreciated the amenities offered, including the hookups, clean restrooms, and laundry facilities, which made my stay comfortable and convenient.Whether you're an avid adventurer or simply looking to relax and take in the breathtaking scenery, I highly recommend the Grand Canyon RV Camper Village. It truly enhanced my trip and I would definitely return!Would you like a more personalized review? Feel free to tell me about your experience!

This campground is best choice if you want the shops and the Canyon rim in walking distance. Nice trail in the shadow of trees to the rim.The full hook up site was very good and our RV was in the shadows of a tree. The sanitary facilities were under construction so we did not use them. Site Reservation is a must.

Clean bathroom and shower area. Easy after hrs checkin. First night was loud with a group that came in. But nice and quiet after they left. Had some cute visitors to the campground.

We enjoyed our stay here, Just outside the park..Only about 15 minutes to Grand Canyon, I thought the park was a bit crowded other than that a very decent park, seen some elk in the morning and was close to general store and a few restaurants

Great place to park an RV, sprinter, or tent camping. All spots were flat, had fire pits, and picnic tables. Bathrooms on site were fine but old, most likely from the 60's. While it was amazing to have a token run shower, the pressure (women's BR) was awfully light.
