Campground Overview

About Mather Campground

Towering ponderosa pines cast dappled shadows across Mather Campground, offering a serene retreat within Grand Canyon National Park's bustling South Rim. This expansive campground strikes an ideal balance between natural immersion and convenient access to world-class attractions. Sites nestle among native vegetation, providing a sense of seclusion despite the campground's popularity.

The campground's strategic location places visitors at the heart of Grand Canyon's most iconic experiences. A short walk or shuttle ride delivers campers to awe-inspiring rim viewpoints, trailheads for legendary hikes like Bright Angel and South Kaibab, and the educational exhibits of the Grand Canyon Visitor Center. On-site amenities cater to diverse camping styles, from tent sites to RV-friendly spots, complemented by modern restrooms, potable water, and a nearby general store for provisions.

Situated within Grand Canyon Village, Mather Campground serves as an ideal base for exploring the South Rim's treasures. The campground's proximity to the park's free shuttle system enables car-free adventures, while its position just a mile from the canyon's edge allows for spontaneous sunrise and sunset viewing. Nature enthusiasts will appreciate frequent wildlife sightings, including mule deer and elk, right from their campsites.
