We booked our stay at trailer village because we planned to hike Rim to Rim. It was a great experience. The village was clean and nice to set up our 5th wheel. The store and post office were right there. The shuttle comes to the entrance to pick you up so you don’t have to worry about parking your car or truck. A well run facility. We highly recommend.

We stayed for 1 night in mid-October 2024 in a 24 ft motorhome w/6 small dogs. Big points for: a very restful, quiet night; park is clean; employees are welcoming, friendly and helpful; wonderful place for walking dogs; level asphalt pull through sites. They lost points for showers being a 7:00 walk away (from the check in, a lot longer from the rear sites) at the Mather Point (federal) campground); nearest wifi is at the General Store; and the HUGE construction zone (building something very large) right in front of our site. :-( I'm sure everyone in the park could hear when they started work at 6:45 AM and of course there was a lot of noise all day long, and lots of dust. We were not notified of the construction at the time of booking which was only a couple of weeks before our stay and it's very clear that construction has been going on for many months (at least). Grand Canyon camping sites are few and far between in the grand scheme of things so, while I would recommend staying at Mather, this is an option.

Very nice campground. Sites were spacious enough, and the area was quiet. Nice walking trails into the park itself. Great option to stay inside the park and not deal with the entrance lines every morning. We enjoyed our stay.

This is a great location within the park. Has a shuttle stop close by and within walking distance to the general store. Our site was gravel and did not have a 30amp hookup that we needed. It was cool that the elk walk right through the campground.

We absolutely loved staying at Trailer Village June 16-20, 2024. Being right in the middle of the action was wonderful. We used the shuttle system everywhere and it was so easy. We never had to drive our pickup after we checked in until the morning we checked out. The views were so beautiful. The sunsets were awesome and the signs that help you to know which points are good for which views were so helpful. There were elk in the campground every day. So cool!! (Be sure to use a disinfectant wipe on your spigot before hooking up your water hose because the elk drink the drips from the spigots. But we do that at every campground so this one is no different.) Taking walks was fun because we were so close to everything. The shuttle stop was just a few steps from our site. The only bad thing was the power situation. Even though we booked our site 13 months in advance, I didn’t realize we would need to book first thing that morning so I waited till after work. All the sites on the new half were taken so we were in the old part. I didn’t care because it has full hookups and is still pretty. But the day before we checked out of Trailer Village, the voltage kept going too low and our surge protector shut off the power to our RV over and over again. I am not exaggerating when I say 30-40 times. We kept the air conditioner off because we didn’t want the power to come back on with the air conditioners on because that’s hard on the RV. So it was uncomfortably hot during those hours. We called and they sent someone out who didn’t even look in the box. Just told us there was nothing he could do because that side of the park was built in the 50s and there wasn’t enough electrical power and they wouldn’t upgrade it. He left and the power kept shutting off even more. Several people were having the same problem. My husband called because he is an electrician and he said the first guy didn’t even open the box. My husband said someone needed to at least check the connections. This time an electrician was sent who was very nice and actually cleaned the connections and we had fewer problems after that (but still some). They offered to move us to a different site. We said no because we were leaving the next day. But it took several hours of our time staying around the RV waiting on the electrician because so many people were having problems. So my advice is to book 13 months in advance at the very moment reservations open so that you get a site in the newer half. Don’t stay in the older half. Other than the power, our 35th anniversary trip was amazing.

A tad on the expensive side but it's all about the location. We stayed three nights at one of the "classic" (gravel, non-paved) RV sites. All hookups worked perfectly (50A) and the area was clean and quiet. Shuttle bus stop is a three-minute walk from the campsites and this free service takes you to pretty much anywhere in the park you'd want to go; they run every 10-15 minutes. Would definitely stay here again.

Enjoyed my stay. The camp host is an awesome guy! So nice and full of information!

We really enjoyed this park, which is walking distance to the rim of the Grand Canyon - I walked about 15 minutes to Mather Point, one morning at 04:45am, to see the sun rise over the Canyon. The pitches are pull-through and a good size, and the Park is nicely laid out. It is close to everything and cell phones had good phone and data connections. The Canyon shuttle buses, on the blue line, stop at the entrance to the Park. And the elk do hang around the pitches! A good place to stop for visiting the Canyon - which was amazing!

Great campground. Paved and unpaved RV lots. Paved have grills. Some sites have a good amount of shade ... others little to none. I know there are tent sites but we only stayed in the RV side. Some campgrounds have hook up and non hook up sites all together but not here. All paved sites where in one section, all hook up gravel sites in another and tent camping was down the road further. The campground was nice, quiet, and the breezes felt great! We will definitely camp here again. There is a shuttle bus that will take you from the campground to the market (awesome market), the lodge/restaurant, and the rim.

Great stay, easy checkin, pull through gravel site (somewhat unlevel), quiet, free transportation comes to campground, a lot of shady spots, plenty of trash disposal stations, full hookup no problem… would definitely recommend this park inside Grand Canyon National Park…. also had a wonderful dinner at El Tovar…. Highly recommend eating there,

Worth the convenience of easy access to the rest of the park with lots of walking paths and shuttle buses. Close but level RV spaces, big laundry area, regular security patrols.

Great location inside the park. You are walking distance to some trails. Also you can walk to their store which has everything you can possibly need. As we visited Grand Canyon before this was just a relaxing stay. And what better way to relax than to sit at your site with a coffee as Elk roam through!

Great location in the park for camping. Close to lodge and market place. Short drive bright angel and s. Kaibab trails. There are a few trails leading out from the campground. If you have pets the spots closer to the ends of the road are perfect. Lots of Elk wandering through the campground.

Nice pull thru spots, beautiful wildlife (elk) wander right in. Concrete pads, easy leveling only full hookup in the park, big rig friendly.Check out my other videos on Buck's Blog on YouTube !

Showers are off site so be aware they're not in the trailer park where you'll be staying. We didn't even use them once we found that out, and a pickup camper shower isn't the nicest when you had planned on using on-site ones, we survived but advertising was a little off on this. The receptionist in building "A" was very short with us and seemed annoyed, most all the employees that worked at the park as a whole seemed like they disliked their jobs. I believe there's a portion of them are under a work/visa contract, they were much nicer and more accommodating than the local help. Now onto the trailer park. Our spot in trailer village literally had duct tape holding the meter in and the gfci 120v plug didn't work. Luckily they gave us an adapter to borrow from 50a to 30a (like they clearly knew this was an issue). The electrical pedestal also was a safety hazard for people, primarily the curious child that could be pokeinh around. It was missing breakers/covers so you could literally touch exposed bussing. The shuttle system from trailer village was also a joke. Everything you will read says they run every 15min after sunrise. We were waiting one morning (after sunrise) when another group walked up and asked how long we'd been waiting. Maybe 5min at that point. They laughed and said the previous day they waited 30min. Sure enough, 30min later the shuttle finally shows up. Mind you this visit was in April 2024. No snow or ice was present on the roads either. Just kinda a bummer when you're going to a cool place just to have everyone be in a bad mood and the trailer park/ shuttle system in shambles. I hope this review doesn't just fall on deft ears but things could definitely change for the better really easily. If you're having to choose between zion and grand canyon, zion was so much more organized and clean.
