Overview
Overview
Grand Canyon Camper Village is a well-established destination located in Tusayan, Arizona, just one mile from the entrance to Grand Canyon National Park. It serves as an essential home base for travelers looking to balance the rugged beauty of the canyon with the comforts of a developed RV park. The facility operates as a practical, high-traffic hub that prioritizes access, offering a classic campground feel that caters to the high volume of visitors exploring the South Rim throughout the year.
Location & Surroundings
Positioned in the heart of Tusayan, the park is surrounded by the tall Ponderosa pines of the Kaibab National Forest. This location is ideal for those who prefer being close to the action, as it sits conveniently near the park shuttle bus route. The surroundings are predominantly forested, providing a distinct mountain atmosphere. Being strategically located near the South Rim entrance allows for quick transitions between your campsite and the iconic vistas that define this world-famous national monument.
Amenities & Park Features
The park provides a variety of site types, ranging from simple tent pads to full hookup sites capable of accommodating diverse vehicle lengths. Guests have access to essential laundry facilities and clean restrooms, which are highly valued after long days of hiking. While the park maintains a straightforward, functional aesthetic, it provides the necessary infrastructure for comfort, including reliable water, sewer, and electrical connections. The layout is designed for efficient movement, helping visitors navigate the grounds easily during peak tourism seasons.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do

Beyond the canyon rim, the immediate area in Tusayan offers unique opportunities, including the IMAX theater, which provides an immersive look at the region’s history.

Local dining and supply shops are also within walking distance, making it a very convenient stop.

We just stayed here for a week and couldn’t have loved it more. The reviews had us skeptical but we took the chance. It’s about 5 minutes from the Grand Canyon park so we went every day. There is a nice trail to walk or bike ride where we saw horses. The prices inside the office are unbeatable! We got postcards, jewelry, tshirts for gifts. The staff was remarkable and location is unbeatable. We were shocked it wasn’t more packed during the summer months.

HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! My van broke down outside of Tusayan and I was able to have it towed to a location near this amazing place. I had no place to sleep and my friend and I needed showers and laundry, we chose to stay here... What a GREAT CHOICE!! The staff here are absolutely wonderful people! Kind compassionate caring and giving. They brought us wood, a tarp and sleeping bags and other necessities we were in great need of!! Go meet Gina and Joe and if you get the opportunity to meet a man named Scott, he was out saving angel for the 3 days we stayed!! There were other maintenance guys that were very nice and helpful for all our needs!! Thank you so much to all of the amazing staff here!!!

Don't have high expectations of this RV park. Spots are not level and just a few have full hookups. The vast majority are water and electric. Tent camping is separated. Bathrooms and showers are quite old and require tokens. Numerous old campers and modulars on perimeter.

Tent camped here with family over spring break while visiting Grand Canyon and loved it. The location is perfect, just minutes from the park and walking distance to grocery store and restaurants. Very reasonable pricing. Joanna and Jack are incredibly friendly and helpful. There is lots of outdoor sports/game equipment available. The bathrooms, showers, and laundry facilities are very clean. There is even a family of elk that frequents the property.

I was in Tusayan, AZ and stopped by Grand Canyon Camper Village. I inquired on using their washing and dryer since I was camping on state land nearby. "Eric" was working the front desk and was most helpful and accommodating. The property was spacious and clean!! Highly recommend RV travelers to stay here if you're visiting the Grand Canyon or just passing thru.....
