There is plenty of campgrounds in the North and South Rims of Grand Canyon National Park, all one has to do is decide which rim they want to visit and make reservations accordingly.
I have camped at both rims. The North Rim is five hours away from the South Rim, which means fewer crowds.
Most recently, I camped at the South Rim's Trailer Village, which is the only campground with full hook-ups available.
Travel + Leisure has an article on everything one needs to know about camping in Grand Canyon National Park.
They begin with:
The Grand Canyon is one of those places you have to see for yourself to truly appreciate. At a mile deep and up to 18 miles wide, the canyon slices through the earth for 277 miles, carrying within it the roaring Colorado River. Each year, between five and six million people visit the national park, which is split into two sections: the accessible South Rim, with its year-round access, airport, and train system, and the noticeably more remote (and less crowded) North Rim.
While you could visit the Grand Canyon for a day trip (or book a night in one of the lodges), nothing beats finding a perfect tent site with stunning views and watching the colorful canyon walls come to life in the morning light. Plus, when you're sleeping in the park, it's easier to beat the crowds to the trails and canyon overlooks.
And it doesn't matter if you're a tent camper or prefer a full RV hookup, as there's something for everyone within the park's 1,904 square miles. To help you plan the ultimate trip, we've outlined everything you need to know for camping near the Grand Canyon.
