Grand Canyon National Park Campgrounds

LOCATION: (Grand Canyon, Arizona)

A powerful and inspiring landscape, the Grand Canyon overwhelms our senses through its immense size; 277 river miles long, up to 18 miles wide, and a mile deep.

Campground reservations can be made for two of the campgrounds within Grand Canyon National Park: (one on each rim) 

• The Mather Campground on the South Rim (in Grand Canyon village)
• and the North Rim Campground.

How Do I Decide Which Rim to Visit ?

Most people visit Grand Canyon National Park’s South Rim
The South Rim of the Grand Canyon is open all year and is located on the “Arizona” side of the Canyon. The South Rim is closer to Interstate 40 and to the transportation centers of Williams, Flagstaff and Phoenix, Arizona. The South Rim also has a local airport and rail service. Since it is easier to get to, the South Rim is very busy, and during the summer season, campgrounds hustle and bustle and are often filled to capacity. Reservations are strongly recommended.

The North Rim is harder to get to and is more wild and secluded
Because of it’s 8,000 ft/ 2438m elevation, the North Rim of the park is only open from May through October. The North Rim is located on the “Utah” side of the Canyon. The nearest towns to the park’s North Rim village are Fredonia, Arizona, and Kanab, Utah. There is no airport or rail service to the park. (that means that the North Rim village may only be reached by road) Because the North Rim has a shorter season, Campground Reservations are strongly Recommended.

Cunningham Campground

LOCATION: (Stafford, Arizona)

Located high in the Pinaleño Mountains in an open, grassy stand of aspen and fir, this campground was constructed to provide a more primitive camping experience than most forest campgrounds. Campsites include a parking area and a fire grill. A public corral is available for riding and pack stock. Nearby there are plenty of foot and equestrian trails. The Grant Creek Trail starts at the campground edge and follows a scenic route down canyon to the site of old Fort Grant, once an important outpost in the days of warring between the Apaches and the U.S. Army. Today, the fort is an Arizona State Prison Facility. Also conveniently close by the campground is the Cunningham and Grant Hill Loop, a system of old logging roads and trails developed for mountain biking and hiking. Access to these trails is located across the Swift Trail (AZ 366) from the campground. [Visit Site]

Beaver Creek Campground: Coconino National Forest

LOCATION: (Coconino National Forest, Arizona)

This campground is sheltered by a stand of cottonwoods and Arizona sycamores clustered on the banks of Wet Beaver Creek. The cool, clear waters of nearby Wet Beaver Creek provide an excellent place to fish, hike, swim, wade, and bird watch, all within a few steps of your campsite. A trailhead within easy driving distance provides access to hiking trails into the Beaver Creek Wilderness. The road that leads to the campground is one of the Coconino National Forest’s scenic drives. There is a free picnic area across FR 618 from the campground.

The area beyond the oasis nurtured by the stream is upper Sonoran Desert. Its characteristic rock gardens of prickly pear cactus and banana yucca provide a sharp contrast to the lush riparian zone along the creek. Wet Beaver Campground is located just three miles of paved road from I-17. [Visit Site]
