Like everything else these days, the cost to camp in a national park is going up.

The latest is Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona. For the first time in 20 years, camping fees are going up.

AZCentral reported:

Grand Canyon National Park is raising fees at its campgrounds for the first time in 20 years.

Fees will increase for standard campsites at the Desert View and Mather campgrounds at the South Rim and at the North Rim Campground.

Prices will be going up for tent and RV sites. It's the first time Grand Canyon has increased these fees since 2005.

How much does it cost to camp at the Grand Canyon?

Starting May 1, 2025, standard campground fees at Grand Canyon will be $30 per night.

Certain national park passholders — seniors with the Senior pass and disabled visitors with the Access pass — receive a 50% discount on camping fees. Under the new rate, they'll pay $15 per night.
