    The campsite

    Absolutely beautiful. Loved that there was a fireplace and table at each campsite, bathrooms near by and a cute local grocery store less than 10 min away. South Rim of the Grand Canyon is only about 20 min away from campground which was super convenient and made for a fun day trip.

    I've made it a point on this 10 Day Rd. trip to staying at public lands instead of hotels. The BLM, USFS, and The National Parks service do a great job maintaining our public places and should receive more support from congress as well as more funds. #nationalpark #nationalforest #conservation #getoutside #wildliferoadtrip #BlissfulSleep #CampingUnderTheStars #StateParks #Parks #Nature #Camping #Wildlife #America #Freedom #Recreation #LiveLifeToTheFullest #AmericanMarvels#Landmarks #HistoricalLandmarks #Wide-OpenSpaces #CloudPorn #PublicLands #BLM #USForests #UseItOrLoseIt#CruiseAmerica #TourAmerica#WildernessHotspots#YelpTheOutdoors

    Ten - X campground is outside the park, but a much nicer campground. The sights are larger, and more private. There are huge trees, and native grasses in your site. There are no hookups, but they do have nice, clean vault toilets. This area is much greener, and quieter, and I enjoyed the reflective heat fire pits. They have no showers, but you can drive into the park and use the pay showers at Camper Services, just like all the in park campers do. They now reserve a few sites in advance, but are still mostly walk in. My Bestie had her wedding reception out here, in one of the group sites, and it was fantastic! The campground hosts were helpful with only letting guests into the area. She used one group site for the reception, and the other for her guests to camp at/ not get DUI's. If you were to do the same, only let your guests use the toilet at the next door group camping site, not at the reception site. No amount of potpourri will cover the odor by the end of the night. When should you camp here? ~you like huge trees ~you enjoy green, grass-like plant life ~you hate crowds ~you want more privacy ~you enjoy camping ~you have reliable transportation ~you want a good nights sleep ~you don't mind helicopter traffic from the airport during the day When should you opt out and camp in the park or elsewhere? ~ you have no reliable transportation/need the shuttle system ~you are on life support and need to run your generator all night ~you need hook ups ~you are afraid to be alone ~you want to scream and party all night ***Note: the closest places with hook ups are: Trailer Village (in park, run by Xanterra) Camper Village (in Tusayan)

    We really enjoyed our stay here! It was a very short drive to the south rim of the Grand Canyon. Staff was helpful when it came to our pay station and any rules the Campground had. It was a private and quiet place to camp with my family. Very clean. The only thing I had an issue with were the restrooms. I could not stand going inside any of them so instead we drove to town to use it when the kids needed to go. Definitely think they need to up their staff to maintain the cleanliness of the restrooms. Other than that I'd recommend this Campground due to the convenience of the location.

    See all

    Staff was very nice and there is lots of room per camping site. They don't sell any fire wood but a gas station does down the street.

    ten x campground - Elk on the property

    (4 reviews)

    This spot is perfect for camping near the Grand Canyon. It's only 4 miles, and was a quick drive…read morethere. The camping area included a grill and a fire pit that also had a grill to cook on with it. The camping areas were spacious, and you didn't have neighbors right on top of you, which for me is the point of camping. The campground was set in a beautiful forest. There are elk all around the campground, and waking up to that was quite the treat for sure. Be mindful of leaving any kind of food out, as you'll be waking up at 4am to ravens cawing as they eat your things. We found this out the hard way. The campground does allow dogs, but they have to be leashes at all times or else you will be removed from the campground. There is a nice hiking trail on the campground you can take them to. The issues I had was the bathroom not being clean. The toilet was not flushable and it didn't seem like anyone hosed it down or emptied it the time we were there. There was a spout for water, which was away from the bathroom. It would have been nice for it to be near the bathrooms, or just some way to wash your hands after going in there. The drinking water did taste good though. All in all, it's a beautiful campsite for not much money. I definitely wouldn't mind coming back here and recommend it.

It is…read morefirst come/first served and has several dozen sites just minutes from the entrance of the Grand Canyon Park. We arrived around 6:30 on a Sunday and got a spot. It was self serve - drive around, find a spot, put your marker there and go back and deposit $. Camping sites have fire pits with a grill attachment. There were elk hoof prints on our site but we didn't see any elk that night. We did here a pack of coyotes on the distance which was amazing. Clean pit bathrooms are around the campground We got up at 6am and drove to the canyon. We weren't sure they'd let us in that early but no problem. Hardly anyone was about in the village and we hiked down the Angel Trail. By time we got back Up the villlage was so crowded with people And it was obvious how many stayed there. If you are interested in camping and hiking but don't have time or supplies to rough camp at the bottom of the canyon, it is a great option. We drove to most the overlooks heading out down 64 and they were not nearly as crowded as the village overlooks

    South Kaibab Trail - Mules

    South Kaibab Trail

    (90 reviews)

    If you really want to understand the Grand Canyon, you don't stand at the rim. You step off it…read more South Kaibab Trail is not subtle about what it is. There's no easing into it, no gentle introduction. Within minutes, you're descending through tight switchbacks, the rim already pulling away behind you, and that comfortable "overlook" perspective is gone. You're in it now. What makes this trail different is the exposure. It rides out along a ridge, not tucked away or hidden, so the views are constant. There's no point where it closes in or gives you a break. Every step opens something new. Layers of rock stacked like pages, colors shifting depending on where the sun hits, distances that feel close until you realize they're anything but. Early on, you hit that first real vantage point where everything just drops away in front of you. It's the kind of moment that interrupts whatever you were thinking about. You stop, not because you planned to, but because you don't really have a choice. And then you keep going. The trail pulls you downward at a steady, unapologetic grade. It's not technical, but it demands attention. Your footing matters. Your pacing matters. Knees start to take notice on the way down, and somewhere in the back of your mind, you're already aware that every step you're taking is one you'll have to reverse later. There's almost no shade. That's not an exaggeration. Once the sun is up, it owns this trail. That's why going early isn't just a good idea, it's the difference between a great hike and a brutal one. In the early hours, the light cuts across the canyon at an angle, pulling out depth and contrast you just don't get later. Shadows stretch, colors deepen, and the entire landscape feels more alive. By midday, it flattens out and the heat starts pressing down in a way that changes the tone completely. As you descend, the canyon shifts around you. The rock underfoot changes color and texture, walls rise and fall, and the sense of scale keeps slipping just out of reach. You try to make sense of distance, but it doesn't behave the way you expect. What looks like a short stretch can take far longer than it should. Landmarks move. Perspectives lie. There's a point where the noise fades out. Fewer people, more space, just the sound of your own steps and the occasional wind moving through the canyon. It's quiet in a way that feels earned. Not empty, just stripped down to what matters. And then there's the reality check. Going down is the easy part. It always is. The climb back up is where this trail makes its case. The grade doesn't soften. The exposure doesn't change. It's you, the incline, and however well you managed your energy on the way down. It's not impossible, not even close, but it demands respect. You feel it in your legs, your lungs, your pace slowing whether you like it or not. But that's also where something shifts. You're not just looking at the canyon anymore. You're moving through it, working against it, understanding it in a physical way that no overlook can give you. The scale stops being abstract. It becomes something you measure in effort, in time, in breath. By the time you reach the top again, you've earned a completely different perspective than the one you started with. This trail doesn't offer comfort. It offers clarity. It strips things down to effort, environment, and awareness. And in return, it gives you one of the most direct, honest ways to experience the Grand Canyon. Five stars, no hesitation.

    I have done Bright Angle Trial a couple of times in the past to the bottom of the Grand Canyon…read more South Kaibab is the other big trail into the Canyon. Over the summer, we camped at the rim and decided to hike South Kaibab a little ways early in the morning before it got too hot. We ended up hiking all the way to Skeleton Point and back. As it approached afternoon, it started to get a little warm. I ended drinking all the water in my CamelBak just before I got to the top. The temperature was climbing fast and I had to use my cooling towel to stay cool. I got to say that I really gained a lot of respect for this Canyon during this short summer hike that I did. The South Kaibab Trail is a 7 mile hiking trail in Grand Canyon National Park that leads to the Colorado River. I like this trail because you get 360-degree views of the canyon after you pass Skeleton Point. The trail is mostly shaded until you reach Ooh Aah Point. Then you are out in the open. Up next is Cedar Ridge at 1.5 miles and then Skeleton Point at 3 miles. After that is the Tipoff and Black Suspension Bridge as you are descending into the Canyon. There is no water on the trail until you get to the bottom of the canyon at Bright Angel Campground and Phantom Ranch. So bring plenty of it along with snacks, sunscreen, etc. The hike is 15 miles (24 km) roundtrip to Phantom Ranch and will take at least 2 days to complete. If you get to the beginning of the trail early enough, you can probably find parking in the parking lot or on the side of the road. But it fills up quick. Another option is to take the free shuttle to the trailhead from the South Rim Visitor's Center. Both water and restrooms are located at the beginning of the trail. The hike is usually a little busy with people to start off with, but many turn around after reaching Ooh Aah Point. It is also fairly steep with lots of switchbacks, so bring poles if you need them for assistance. Be prepared for a climb on the way back to the parking lot during that last mile. Also keep an eye out for Mules as they use this trail regularly. My recent hike was in June and I saw many people with little or no water. I also saw people with footwear that should not be worn on this trail. It blew me away how uneducated and naive people are about doing these hikes into the canyon. I understand lots of tourists come here, but people need to be a little more careful when hiking the Grand Canyon. Many of the deaths that occur every year in this Canyon can be avoided. On the day that I visited and hiked this trail, they reported several heat related incidents that evening and one death. South Kaibab Trail is a great hike. Enjoy, make a plan and be responsible.

This was a while ago, but having been back recently, and having hiked the North Kaibab Trail again, it's given me some perspective on how amazing this trail truly is. Leaving not far from the campground, it takes you in the same direction as any other Grand Canyon Trail: down. They say that going down is optional but coming up is not, so you really need to assess your hiking skills and your physical condition before heading down. You might think to yourself, hey, I will just pop down to the springs and then pop back up. You might look at that mileage and say hey, I have all day, I can do 10 miles (some places say Roaring Springs is an 11-mile trip... my tracking calls it 10 but always overestimate). That's a big day no matter what, but remember that you're headed straight down and you have to come straight back up. That's like 3500' in elevation. And that's just to Roaring Springs. It never lets up, so just know before you go. If you're out here to flex for your Rim-To-Rim patch, good on you and you obvs should have done a lot to prepare. This is where you'll launch of you're SOBO, and this is where you'll weep with relief if you went NOBO. Despite multiple trips, I've only hiked two separate sections. I've hiked the aforementioned trip to Roaring Springs which is absolutely mindblowing. It's dry, it's steep, and after you pass that last water spigot, you buckle up. Then, out of seemingly nowhere you're at this huge waterfall and there's green everywhere. Our July trip had dragonflies landing all around; it was a wild and unexpected find, even though it's written about and on the map. You don't really expect it to be what it is, even though you know you're going to a spring. On the other end, I've hiked up the trail from Phantom to Ribbon Falls. this portion is still uphill, but less steep. The elevation is lower, so it's warmer there. Remember that the trailhead is above 8K and the bottom is in the 2400' range, so weather will vary drastically. Rim-to-rimmers have to plan for two climates, and that multiplies when you factor in day versus night. This bottom section is really lovely though, and Ribbon Falls is a wispy dream. The trail is very well maintained, and though it's highly trafficked, it's not nearly as packed as the South Kaibab Trail or the Bright Angel Trail. Indeed, the North Rim really has my heart. It was my first visit to see the big ol' hole in the earth and I really love the rustic cabins, the big windows on the lodge, and the huge pine trees and more laid back feel.

There is water right at the trailhead, so no excuse to start out without water! We started at the North Kaibab Trail from the North Canyon at 4:10am. We took the shuttle from the lodge-- if you're staying there, it's complimentary, but you have to request at the front desk to be put on a list. For decent hikers, this is the best time to start if you're headed to Phantom Ranch for the night. If you're attempting all 24 miles in one day, begin earlier! The first mile or so were in the dark for us, but I won't forget the awful sand we walked through-- got all in my hiking boots. It's from the constant trudging of the mules taking people up and down to the Supai Tunnel (which is the most beautiful lookout, by the way!). Luckily, the sun was giving us enough visibility at this point and it was awesome. You don't need mules to at least go this far. It's just so beautiful!! WALK IT. Even if you don't intend to do the whole trail, get to the Supai tunnel. You won't regret it. We were just so amazed with the first few miles of this. It was majestic and so unique because of the elevation and plant life. You should be fine with the water on the trail and the bathrooms provided. We never had to collect from the streams or use the bathroom on the ground. There was plentiful if you plan right. I highly recommend visiting the Ribbon Falls. I cannot express just how beautiful this is. I soaked my shoes because when we went, the bridge was broken, but I recommend going further than the bridge and pass on the "Creek" side. I think the creek is less deep (no wet feet!). The Ribbon Falls were just SO beautiful. Most beautiful waterfall ever. We took the time to soak all our clothes before heading into the "box" before hitting Phantom Ranch. You don't want to get stuck in that during the day heat. We got to Phantom at 10:30 and didn't experience full sun in the box or any heat exhaustion. Very well marked and beat the crap out of our feet from all the DOWN DOWN DOWN in elevation. Didn't raise the heart rate much going down, but those feet sure were ready for a soak when we got to Phantom Ranch!

The South Rim of the Grand Canyon is just flat out magnificent. Magical. Massive in a way that makes you feel small, but in a good, soul-reset kind of way. You walk up to the edge and your brain almost can't compute what it's seeing. It just keeps going. And going. And going. Like someone forgot to hit "stop" on the landscape. We hiked the Golden Angel Trail down to the lower tunnel and it was nothing short of breathtaking. And yes, maybe some of that was the 7,000+ feet of elevation reminding me I am not 25 anymore. But still. Every turn opened up to another insane vista. Layers of red rock stacked like nature was showing off. The canyon stretches out so far it feels eternal. You don't just look at it. You feel it. There's this quiet energy out there. Not touristy chaos. Not noise. Just wind, sky, and this ancient, carved-by-time masterpiece surrounding you. It makes whatever you've been stressed about feel very, very small. Five stars because infinite stars isn't an option. If you haven't stood on that rim and just taken it in, put it on your list. And maybe bring water. And humility.
