We stayed at the campground as it is close to the Grand Canyon's south rim. I had stayed there 2-3 years ago and it was well kept and relatively full at that time. This stay was much different. The campground was un-kept, overgrown weeds, debris blowing around etc. The campground was 75% empty. There was a group of foreign men in there twenties ,approx (6) drinking and having a loud good time, down several spaces and across the street. That was ok until about 8pm when they started to take naked pictures of each other in front of all to see and then, began streaking around the campground, yelling with accents, I'm STREAKING"! I did not have any children with me, but I felt bad for the few other campers who did. I was unable to call the police as the cell phone get no reception there. I informed the exchange student in the office the following morning about the incident. He appeared surprised, but maybe because he didn't make the party..:) We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The park was close in and handy but old and not that well maintained. There is no cellular or Internet service to be had. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I contacted this campground about the poor reviews listed on this website. I was told that ownership had recently transferred and things had improved, but when I asked further follow up questions (including more details), I received no response. Overall, we have to say that it does not look like things have improved much. They do accept credit cards, and the restroom appeared clean when I popped my head into it. Otherwise, our experience here has been fairly poor. Neither of the 2 15A outlets (normal plug outlets) at our site did not work. I had to use my motorhome to plug any normal cords into after hooking the 30A circuit to my RV. The campground is very unscenic with very few shade spots or areas of shade. It was very windy here, making it impossible to BBQ outside or spend any comfortable time outside at all. One huge drawback here is that there is no cellular phone service available for Nextel or Cingular anywhere near this campground. Talking to locals, it doesn't appear that any of the big cellular providers (Verizon, Sprint, etc) work out here. This campground's website states that they provide discounts to some local businesses, but they provided no information to my wife about this at check-in. I ran down to get more info about this before we went out to eat. But, I arrived at 6:02pm, and they were long gone (they close at 6:00pm). So, they will not stay a second over closing time to help guests. Our gravel site was not level, and my hydraulic leveling jacks were unable to get me to level to the degree that I am used to at private campgrounds. For the prices they are charging here, the sites need to be leveled, 50A service needs to be added, and some work needs to be put into improving the ambiance. It is way overpriced for what you are getting. The only benefit to this campground is that there are several places to eat (and a general store) right next door to the campground. The pizza place we tried wasn't excellent, but it was acceptable for a family not wanting to cook after a long drive. I would only consider this campground if you absolutely cannot get a spot inside the park and cannot change your vacation dates. We certainly will not return. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Absolutely the worst value for our dollar I have ever encountered. We arrived at 4:45, after going into the park and finding no space available inside, and the office was closed. Hours posted were 8a-6p, but another camper also at the office door said he had been there 3 nights and the staff was never there until 6pm. Only 2 of the 5 restroom/showers were open and they were in terrible shape-we refused to use them. My wife was very unsettled when she saw the sign in the restroom informing campers not to visit them unattended after dark. If we hadn't had our 90 yr old grandmother with us we would have dry camped ANYWHERE. We saw perhaps a dozen campers enter, check rates and leave. The only previous post I saw that I did not experience was that our only option was cash or check, no credit card option. We will never stay here again, and would NEVER recommend this campground. 37' motorhome with toad. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I cannot believe it. I wished I would have read the reviews on this site because the other posters were not kidding. This place is an absolute dump. For $50 we had water that had very low pressure and electric that was way under voltage. We also looked at the CG info paper left in a box at the office (no one was around) and on the paper it said "Do Not Go to the Showers after Dark Alone". Who would want to? They are filty dirty and they charge you 75 cents for 6 minutes. In the morning, the office still wasn't open and not a soul could be found. We packed up and left and will never return. The State of AZ should be ashamed of themselves for not shutting this place down. For those who are going to be in the area, there are other campgrounds. Do yourself and your family a favor and don't even stop at this place. It is horrible. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I had read the previous reviews and was very concerned since we already had reservations. Staff were international exchange students. When we checked in, they were friendly and helpful. They gave us an escort to open sites and let us choose. They did accept credit cards and gave a discount for AAA. They also suggested we only pay for a few nights in case we wanted to leave because there were no refunds. Sites are only 30 amp, were very narrow, gravel and only a few with trees. We did not use them, but the bathrooms and showers were filthy. There is a sign in both male and female restrooms to travel with a companion at night! Park is in the flight pattern of airplane and helicopter tours, but they don't fly at night. It is within walking distance to merchandise shops, restaurants and a market. There are no fires and old picnic tables. The sites are not well marked. We stayed for six nights. On our last night, the staff parked someone right next to us and they were facing in the opposite direction. There was not a double hook up for the electric, so the office came and asked us to move our power cord. The new folks moved to a more adequate site, but stated they had visited this park for 5 years and the price has gone up but the quality has gone down. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here in 1999 - good campground. We were absolutely shocked at the difference in 2005. It has turned into a real dump. We camped here in a Motorhome.

According to the AAA Campground Book, this campground is supposed to accept all major credit cards. When we arrived this was not the case and were forced to go get cash. The site we had was shaded, though we had to remove the horse waste before we could set up camp. The bathrooms were infested with flies and bugs and had no soap for handwashing. We camped here in a Truck Camper.

Way over priced for what you get. Before I pulled in I expected a really nice place for the price. When I arrived, the place reminded me of a bad "drive-in movie" theater. I would never stay here again. We did find a nice laundramat located behind the Best Western Motel. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Not very well mantained - had trouble with a staff member upon checkin (bad attitude, didn't seem tocare that she had given us a site that was occupied by someone that had no intention of checking out that morning). Problem was quickly resolved when mgr came in. No immediate competition, too bad. Will stay in park next time. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The only choice near Canyon outside the park.(?) Walk to good restaurants and store. All dirt; dusty, no supervision. We only had 20 amp. electric. Overpriced. Stayed 2 nights ONLY because tired after sightseeing. We camped here in a camper.

Great location, larger sites than most National Parks. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Yes, this place sure could use a face-lift but it is kept up very well for the immense amount of use it gets. We would go back again - and have done so a few times. There is no WiFi in the Trailer Village but there is at the library at the Park HQ - and it is free. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Paid $30 plus taxes or $32 and change. Did not see the comment about sewer hoses and ravens. But our less than two year old Rhino hose was cracked when I went to dump. Other than that, this is a great location for seeing the South Rim. We had mule deer walking through the campground, on our last night we saw three bull elk wandering nearby. We spent 4 nights here, 3 is the absolute minimum to take in the sights in this area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is second time to camp here, but will not be our last. We love it here! Close to the store, Yavapai Lodge Cafe where they do have great food, especially the cinnamon rolls during the breakfast hours. There are shuttles buses to take you anywhere in the part, colored coded routes, but we like to walk or hike, so did not take the shuttle this time. Trailer Village is just a short distance (good level trail) to the Canyon Rim Trail, where you can walk a mile or two in either direction and every view point has something different. Did not go down Bright Angel Trail, this time, but all of the other trails were worth every penny spent here. We were in H52 and a little hard to level, but hope to return many times in the future. Oh, you do have to keep your sewer hose put up when not in use due to the Ravens. All sites have full hookups so no showers in this campground. We camped here in a Truck Camper.

No showers available in Trailer Village, go next door to Mather Campground. Restroom smelled, seemed clean though. Close to General Store, Restaurant, Post Office and Bank. Rim is about 3/4 mile from Trailer Village. In totality this is a very nice spot. Shuttle buses to everywhere, no charge. And the views are to be seen to be believed. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Stayed for 2 nights after Thanksgiving and the place was almost empty. Sites are full hookup with cable TV. Easy walk to the village with a well stocked store and food service. A few of the bigger restaurants were closed this time of year, if that is your thing. Good weather for the trip, nice time of the year to visit the Grand Canyon. Made the reservations in Oct for the Nov trip over the phone with Xanterra, very pleasant folks to work with. We will definitely stay here again! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is the full-hookup campground inside Grand Canyon national park. Stayed for 2 nights over thanksgiving and cannot say enough about the convenience of being inside park. Shuttle stop right at campground entrance will take you anywhere you could need to be. Shuttle runs from before sunrise to well after sunset. If you're visiting during a holiday or in summer where traffic and parking is horrific, you'll truly appreciate shuttle. No lighting at sites so view of night sky and stars is AWESOME. No light pollution at all. Our site was an end site, and surprisingly quite level. There is a grill and picnic table at each site. Good selection of cable but no wifi. If you really need to check e-mail, head outside the fark a few miles to Tusayan wher e there is a internet cafe. I found this to be a perfect blend of natural rustic campground, but with services that we've come to depend on. I will mention that showers are NOT in this campground, but rather at Camper Services in Mather (no hookup) Campground. There are restrooms at Trailer Village. the general store, cafe, post office complex was a easy walk, as was the rim behind park headquartes. Another easy walk (about .5 mile) is the expansive visitors center and the mather viewpoint. Again, if walking is not your thing, hop on that shuttle. This campground fills up and reservations are through the xanterra concessionaire. Reservations are accepted a year in advance so if you have your heart set on a date (espeically in summer), make you reservations WELL in advance. We will definitely stay here again! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Lots are gravel, fairly level & is a long enough pull thru for our 37' FW and parking for the dually. Site has shade tree, grill (ugh!) and table. We like the bus transportation the park provides - easy access to most all that you want. Our son had kids to play with. There are showers available about a 10 minute walk away and cost $1.75 for 5 minutes!! We like a National Park that can accomodate big rigs. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Location. Location. Location. That is what Trailer Village has. Six years since our last visit & heavy use of sites shows. Nothing really bad but the place could use a sprucing up. Interior roads could use a repaving & sites leveled again. We arrived mid week in mid. Oct without reservations. The RV park was surprisingly busy however the Grand Canyon as a whole was not. Wonderful to avoid the summer crowds. We toured the eastern half in our own vehicle, used bicycles to tour the close view points & the shuttle to do the western section closed to private vehicles. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This campground is run by a private company within the national park. The sites are all pull through with gravel pads. It is serviced by the national park bus system, which means that you can get virtually everywhere within the park without having to use your own transportation. They have recently added cable tv hookups. The only drawback that we found was that some of the sites were not very level and it was tough to get the rig set up. Once set up, however, the stay was "grand"! We camped here in a Motorhome.

I have stayed in Trailer Village twice and have had a good experience both times. The campground has few trees for shade and the sites aren't very wide. The low cost is a plus for full hook ups. This campground offers a shuttle service to any part of the south rim. You are in walking distance to shopping center with restaurants, market, post office and bank. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The best attribute of this park is that it has full hook up in the middle of the Grand Canyon. With the frequent park shuttles, it was very convenient getting around the park and to reach all the dining and shopping areas. If you choose to camp here, please bring lots of leveling gear (blocks, rocks, shovel). As others have noted, the sites are very rustic with big pot holes where previous jack stands have been. The sites are hilly. We stayed here in our 40' motorhome. We never got the coach to level. Our slide-out got stuck and broke due to being out of level. However, the plus for the park is the South Rim has an excellent garage. The mechanics drove to out site and repaired the broken bolts and got the slide unit back in. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Great experience. Deer right in the park. Great staff and everything is marked. We loved it here and will return!! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The best thing about this campground is how close it is to the bus for getting around the park and the grocery store. Sites are gravel with large shade trees. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Nice campground. We also were in site E-27 as reviewer below and found we had to level the same as everyone around us. Most campgrounds this rustic will not have perfectly level sites so it was not a big deal. While not on the South Rim, a short 10 minute hike through the forest will get you to a lookout point and to the South Rim Trail. Shuttle service is VERY good inside the National Park. People working at Trailer Village are very nice and personable and helpful with any questions we had. A great inexpensive campground for exploring everything the Grand Canyon has to offer! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Very convenient for South Rim visit. Free shuttle stops at entrance and goes all over the park. Short walk to grocery, bank, post office and restaurant. Not all sites have shade but many do. Restrooms were extremely clean. Older park so some of the roads are narrow and turns can be tight getting to site. Deer and elk were right at our site. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Got into and out of campground with a HDT and a 35 foot trailer, but there were some tight areas. I was in site E-27. I was able to park the HDT next to site, but it was the most unlevel side to side site we have ever had in our 2 1/2 years of full-time RVing. Campground is in need of repair on the sites; lots of low hanging branches. We didn't get cell phone service. We did like the shuttle bus service. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

A GREAT place to stay - just a half-mile walk to the edge of the Canyon. There is the free bus service which serves the CG every 20 minutes or so. The large supermarket, post office and bank is just a 5-10 minute walk from the CG, where you can also connect to one of the other bus routes. Pity the CG doesn't have wifi - even chargeable would have been good. We would recommend this CG!!! We camped here in a Motorhome.

We had a level site with a nice tree to shade it. One of the nicest things about this campground is that it has a free shuttle that takes you to the places you want to see at the Grand Canyon. The major negative aspect is that there are no showers or laundry in the campground itself. An added benefit this time of year was deer and elk feeding next to your motor home! We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park has the potential of being excellent once again, but is in pretty bad shape. The sites are small and hard to negotiate. Obviously laid out many years ago for small RV’s. All the roads, sites and hook ups show many many years of hard use and minimal service. It’s truly a shame as this park is so convenient to the Grand Canyon. We loved out stay at the park and would go back again in spite of the shortcomings, but sure wish someone would shut it down for a season and get it back up to standard. I would gladly pay twice or even three times what we paid! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

I can't say enough about this place. We were worried five nights would be too long. We ended up extending our stay. Trailer Village is a bit tight, but not nearly as bad as some other places. There is plenty of green space interspersed with the sites. We parked our Class C here and NEVER MOVED IT. The shuttle bus service and trail system is amazing. Even with two kids under two, we never had to drive anywhere. The shuttle took us to different points on the Rim Trail. We could hike and not worry about getting tired, because every mile or two there was another shuttle stop where we could board. We took the shuttle to a ranger program, too. We also used the Greenway Trail for longer hikes from Trailer Village. The campground is also just about a half mile of easy walking from Market Plaza, where the post office, bank and general store are located. The store was great. We expected it to be overpriced, but were pleasantly surprised. Since many of the park employees live in or near Trailer Village, there was always someone around to answer questions. Deer and elk walked through the campground at dawn and dusk. The only negative things I can think of are: We could have used a little more space to tie the dogs out, and the sites were a bit dusty. Otherwise, we were enamored with the place. We were wishing we had brought along some babysitters so we could have hiked down to the Colorado River and back. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Gets an extra point for location. Full hookups, excellent cable tv, shuttle pickup nearby. We'll definitely stay here again if the opportunity presents itself. Site had room for our 30' motorhome and Jeep. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We made our reservations for the Labor Day weekend 3 weeks in advance. Check in time is noted as 4pm, but we arrived at 2pm and were greeted by a very friendly employee who promptly provided us with our space number – no fuss because we had shown up early. A well stocked general store is approximately ¼ mile away. Most sites do have trees. All utilities worked fine with no problems experienced. Our friend used the bathroom facilities and she was impressed by how clean and nice they are. Deer and Elk are abundant here and have no qualms about coming into your camp to feed on the leaves and grasses – be sure to have your camera ready! We did see laundry facilities open all day and night, but didn’t need to use them. We will definitely stay here again and again! At $22 per day we feel we can’t beat the bargain of being able to camp in our RV so close to the rim of the Grand Canyon. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We used this initially as an overnight and were able to get a second night. Sites are gravel and level for the most part. The shuttle to the rest of the park drops off at the entrance. We will be visiting again. Would give a "10", but no showers in Trailer Village. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park is run by the same company that runs the lodges at Grand Canyon and other NPs ((888) 297-2757) and is very well managed. It is inside the NP and within walking distance to the supermarket, cafeteria, visitor center and free shuttle bus transport throughout the South Rim. Excellent Ranger security. RV spaces were quite wide, pretty level and mostly dirt and gravelly. Amenities were few, but you are surrounded by forest and about a mile from the nearest canyon view. If it was located elsewhere, I'd rate it a 6. Do not confuse with similar sounding Grand Canyon Camper Village, which is a few miles outside the NP entrance. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This campground provides excellent access to views of the Grand Canyon. There is a shuttle within walking distance that is very reliable. The shuttle runs very early in the morning so you can catch a sunrise at a distant viewpoint if you wish. The grocery is within walking distance (apx 5-10 minutes.) The laundry and showers (also 5-10 min. walk) are a bit far if you are carrying a heavy load of clothes or wish to run back and forth to check clothes. The showers are pay showers which I dont mind, but I do wish the timer would stop if you turn off water to shave etc. But it turns out I finished with time to spare anyway. And there is an attendant to provide change. Please note that if you take a non-Grand Canyon shuttle (ie a Taxi, van) outside the park (to see the IMAX for example) bring your paid park admission with you. We almost had to pay to re-enter the park. All in all, for its purpose - I was very happy. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice park, large pull thru sites. Shade trees on some sites. Best part of the park is its location, right in the Grand Canyon National Park just a few minutes away from the edge of the canyon. Canyon shuttle comes right to the entrance of the campground. Great price, too. Will definitely stay here again on our next visit. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

A very pleasant campground. Large level sites with full hookups including 50Amp and cable TV. Shuttle bus stop is right next to office. Staff was friendly and helpful We camped here in a Motorhome.

We arrived after the office closed, so we were able to select a site based on the map attached to the office. This was our first time here and we learned a big lesson - Row L is not as it appears on the map and is a dead end. We had our toad, so we could not back up or turn around with it attached and required us to unhook and manuver the motorhome around the narrow road. We ended up on Row G, in a fairly level site. The NPS had completed its installation of 50 amp electrical service and we did not have any problems with low voltage. The following night we received a 3" snow fall and by 9 AM the next morning, the NPS had all of the roadways cleared, including those in Trailer Village. This is a NPS park, so do not expect everything to be perfect, but it serves its purpose quite well. We enjoyed our stay and would return. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Excellent location within the park on South Rim. Our only problem was that the voltage was very low. It gave our TV set fits. However, they are in the process of upgrading to 50 amp service. I wouldn't hesitate to re-visit this campground. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Basic hook ups, no tv, phone or internet. Tightly packed with little space or foliage, little more then a space, right next to your neighbors on either sides, but we did have the elec. And dump and water. Staff was ok. Excellent shuttle bus service all through the south rim system and one of my favorite places to visit. All in all though, I’d rather be at Mather, wish they had electricity. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Great campground for seeing the canyon, nice and close for the shuttle and at a great price. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The best aspect of this campground is that it is in the National Park and very convenient to everything. Trailer Village is a basic campground with full hookups. Sites are pretty level and not too close to each other. Each site has a BBQ grill and picnic table. The bathrooms were relatively clean, but there are no showers available. We would definitely stay here again when visiting the Grand Canyon. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We checked in with some apprehension after reading the earlier reviews, and were pleasantly surprised. While its true that there aren't many amenities here, where else can you get full hookups for $22 per night within walking distance to the Grand Canyon? All pull throughs with a few trees. Close by the shopping area with a very well appointed grocery/outfitter, souvenier shop, post office, and snack bar. An easy walk to the visitor's center or you can catch the free shuttle at the CG entrance. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We were expecting the worst and were pleasantly surprised. The site size is fine and the shuttle comes to the campground. This is a great place to stay. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Not all that bad, the location and shuttle service make up for the dirt, sort of level parking. I did see an employee picking up loose trash, which impressed me. Still, it is the Grand Canyon, and it could be a lot worse. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Why doesn't the NPS keep this place up? A muddy mess when it rains. This park is the kind of shabby that makes you want to sight-see all day and not go back to the RV till bedtime. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

If you want full hook-ups close to the Grand Canyon South rim, then this park will provide that service. The sites have 30x50 ft parking pads that are packed gravel and dirt. The driveway roads through the park are paved with blacktop. The restrooms were well maintained by park employees. Each site has a bench and pole mounted Bar-B-Q. The hookups are poorly designed, with 30 amp electrical, but servicable. Adjacent to the office is a shuttle bus stop for the free park shuttles. Close by is a park store and park resturant. We camped two nights in a travel trailer in June 2003 We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Slightly rundown. Having shuttle access made up for the lack of beauty. Electric amperage was very low. We camped here in a camper.

This campground is a complete mess! The sites are full of chunks of broken blacktop and holes beside your rv,which fill when it rains and the sites become mud covered. The overall appearance of the park is similar to a weed infested inner-city slum area. The National Park Service should be ashamed to allow this CG to stay open. We camped here in a camper.
