Grand Canyon Trailer Village RV Park Good Sam Verified Campground

The daily rate is the highest I have ever paid at a commercial campground but the facilities were marginal. For $65/night, I expected better and will look at alternatives for my next visit. I chose the Trailer Village over the Mather Campground (no hookups, 1/3 the price) because I wanted electric hookup to run the air conditioning in my RV during my August stay. The restrooms in the east section (where my space was) were permanently closed. Restrooms in the west section were old but clean. The... Read More

The daily rate is the highest I have ever paid at a commercial campground but the facilities were marginal. For $65/night, I expected better and will look at alternatives for my next visit. I chose the Trailer Village over the Mather Campground (no hookups, 1/3 the price) because I wanted electric hookup to run the air conditioning in my RV during my August stay. The restrooms in the east section (where my space was) were permanently closed. Restrooms in the west section were old but clean. The showers were 3/4 mile away, at camper services by the Mather campground. My space was flat but not level, in either direction. I needed to level my RV not only side to side but also front to back. There was no shade and the picnic table needed a coat of varnish. Unlike every other commercial campground I've been to, there was no dog park. It could be said that the whole rim is a dog exercise area, but there's no place where they can be offleash. Even though we did 6-mile walks morning and evening, my high-energy dog needed offleash time to run around. Since dogs are not allowed on the shuttles, we needed to walk everywhere. That's part of the idea of visiting a national park anyway. The trail from the east side of the campground to Mather Point was nice and we walked it daily.

The most appealing part of the park is that it has full hook-ups and you are within Grand Canyon National Park, with easy access to anywhere in the Park via the Park's free bus service that picks up at the front entrance to this RV park. There are two sections to the RV park. Thankfully we were in the nicer section with a reasonably new asphalt pad, and full hook-ups. There is another section for RV camping that has poor, gravel streets, with plenty of pot holes, and a pretty undesirable set... Read More

The most appealing part of the park is that it has full hook-ups and you are within Grand Canyon National Park, with easy access to anywhere in the Park via the Park's free bus service that picks up at the front entrance to this RV park. There are two sections to the RV park. Thankfully we were in the nicer section with a reasonably new asphalt pad, and full hook-ups. There is another section for RV camping that has poor, gravel streets, with plenty of pot holes, and a pretty undesirable set up, and views. They charge a high price for what you get, but you are paying for the location to be inside the park with full hook ups, so it was worth it to us. Bathrooms are old, and in fair condition as far as being clean. They were usable, but not too desirable. While there is no camp store, you are very close to Market Village where you have a large selection of goods, a Starbucks, a post office, and a bank. We had visits from mule deer almost everyday wandering through the parking lot, so that was interesting. So while I can't highly recommend the RV park for it's maintenance or amenities, it is a good place to stay for the convenience of being right inside the park.

I don't seem to be in the same Grand Canyon Trailer Village as other reviewers here. Because where I am staying is a mess. From the moment I arrived, it was obvious that something is not right. The guest arriving before me is charging out of the kiosk with an unhappy look. He ran to his rig and pulled it forward 100 feet. When I walk in, the clerk rudely announced that I had to move my rig "to avoid a traffic jam". With no other traffic in site, and no signs apparent about where to park, I was... Read More

I don't seem to be in the same Grand Canyon Trailer Village as other reviewers here. Because where I am staying is a mess. From the moment I arrived, it was obvious that something is not right. The guest arriving before me is charging out of the kiosk with an unhappy look. He ran to his rig and pulled it forward 100 feet. When I walk in, the clerk rudely announced that I had to move my rig "to avoid a traffic jam". With no other traffic in site, and no signs apparent about where to park, I was confused, so I pulled behind the first guy. When I returned to the office the second time that I saw the small typed 8x11 sheet taped to the door telling everyone not to park at the kiosk. Then the surly clerk announced that I needed not only my confirmation number and credit card, but my driver's license, so back to the truck I go, again. I am given a map and site number, but have to ask for directions. At this point the clerk sighs and circles the site. The driveway is gravel and potholed, our site is too... We've discovered that half the roads and sites in this campground are potholed gravel. The other half are paved. Guess where we are. Ask to be put in a paved site, and if there aren't any you should ask why you are getting charged as much for paved. There are also smashed up concrete 6 inch high curbs around our area. They got that way because they have to be driven on to park. But the site is level. Hookups are a mess. I need 20 feet of sewer hose. The power pole (damaged) has only 50 and 20 amp service, but the office will offer you a converter (when they have them). You will have to sign for it and will get charged $$$ (when) it's stolen. It's obvious that there used to be cable TV, but in our section the connections have been smashed off. When I first turn on the power it doesn't come on... I open and closed the breaker three times before it comes on. There are breakers for 20, 30 and 50 amps, but the 30 amp breaker handle is somehow screwed or glued(?) to the 50 amp breaker, and of course there is no 30 amp outlet. HUH? Eventually my surge protector tells me that I've got good power. Adding to the degraded flavor: - The several identical, newish, but trashy, Jayco trailers some idiot tried to skirt - The restrooms and portajohns next to our site. What are the Porta-Johns for? Haven't a clue, but the restrooms are looking a mess and we are keeping away. - The staff were driving around at high speed in mini-vans marked "Grand Canyon", who are obviously not Park Rangers. - The idiotic, loud campers with a wood campfire in a NO BURN park and no security or rangers around at night on patrol to tell them to knock it off. This place is not cheap and the RV park is a disgrace. It's poorly maintained and staffed by the rude. While it's not the worst RV park I've been in, it's certainly the worst one that's cost me $65.00 a night. And it's also the worst one I've been in that's owned by our Federal Government. We camped at Trailer Village RV Park in a Travel Trailer.

Been coming here for years but probably won't again for a very long time. Litter, trash, cigarette butts everywhere. Numerous broken tree limbs dangling over sites like a tornado had passed. No care to sites between guests during our week stay. Rocks between sites not raked and full of trash. Site barbecue grills full to top with old briquettes and ash. Litter around bathrooms and perimeter of park worse than in sites. Small, dented metal trash cans in each row full by 9:00 AM and left full most... Read More

So sad that a once lovely national park facility has been left to decay- Especially at $61 per night. Your tax dollars not at work here.

It's a state park. Conveniently located. A little tight. 35' class A with toad - had to unhook to fit in site, but that's OK you will be using toad to see park. Hook-ups OK. Did not use facilities. Reasonably quiet. Elk in campground. Sign at entrance makes you feel special that YOU have full hook-ups. )

Choose this park for its proximity to the Grand Canyon. Minimal to no amenities. Pay showers and laundry was $5.50 per load but I expect this is typical for the area. It wasn't busy when we were there so that was nice. The 120 outlets on the power box didn't work. WiFi was weak and hardly useful unless at the office. One morning Elk were inside the campground and this was awesome. Starbucks, resturaunt and grocery store next door. Walking distance to catch the shuttle to the Grand Canyon. Read More

Stayed here for a week. Sites are good size. Facilities are just bathrooms. Location, location, location! No tv, no wifi but you are in the park with shuttles to take you wherever you want to go. Elk walk through your site! A great stay.

We stayed here 2 nights on our way east. It is about an hour off of I-40 from Williams, AZ. Our FHU 30-amp site was great. Office warned us not to leave sewer hoses out as the raves like to peck holes in them. Shuttle runs from office to all points in the national park. First morning, we drove to Williams to take a tour(a pretty boring 1 hour drive). We drove to the Yavapai Lodge to have breakfast the second morning, it was pretty good buffet. Our site was a 29 ft. and up FHU, no issues.

We were unfortunate to be parked right next to the public bathrooms, so there was a LOT of traffic around our RV. The pad we were on leaned every heavy to the driver side of the RV, which required a LOT of lift to level it. The cable RV Hookup did not work. On the good side of things, the area was beautiful and peaceful. it was easily in walking distance to Mathers Point, and was excellent from a hiking point of view.

We have a fifth wheel and have been full-timing for a while. We had a site in Trailer Village. Grand Canyon Park is a self-contained village, with a grocery store, restaurant, shuttle busses, post office. It had laundry and showers in gust services in Mather Campground. No need for typical park amenities like a pool etc because of the wondrous views. Tip: you'll probably have to use blocks under the wheels because of the inclines in many sites.

Great Location if you want to be close to the actual Grand Canyon (inside the park). Deer every am & early eve. Had to walk to the showers & laundry next door. Very outdoorsy & convenient to shops & stores. We had a lot of fun & plan on going back!

Easy to navigate the park and the sites were nice and level where we were. The bathrooms in trailer village are just that, bathrooms. No shower or laundry facilities. The next campground over has a full set up with showers and laundry. 2 minute drive or a free bus ride. The appeal of this site is great! While it is set up as a trailer facility, it doesn't resemble a parking lot that many commercial sites you see along the highways. Plenty of trees and greenspace. We had elk walking around...

We had elk walking around the park during the day. This park is part of the National Park Shuttle system, meaning that you can catch the Blue shuttle from trailer village and it will take you along half of the South Rim facilities of the National Park. From there you can catch both the Orange and Red lines (all free with admission to the park) I will definitely stay here again at some point in my life!

Campground is for fully self contained units. The bathrooms are in Mather campground. The camp sites are large and fully paved. Nothing spectacular, but the buses to everything are convenient. Not a place to go in the summer to enjoy camping. This is a place to camp while you enjoy an awesome natural wonder.
