Camping at the Grand Canyon means watching the sunrise paint layers of red rock and falling asleep under a sky full of stars. Most campers stay on the South Rim, which is open all year and has campgrounds, an RV park with hookups and the gateway town of Tusayan nearby. The higher, quieter North Rim is open only in the warmer months. Spring and fall are the most pleasant seasons.
Reserve park campgrounds as early as possible, especially for spring, summer and fall. Nearby, the Kaibab National Forest offers dispersed camping. At around 7,000 feet, the South Rim has cold nights and snow in winter, while it gets extremely hot down in the canyon in summer. After a wildfire in 2025, services on the North Rim are limited, so check its current status before you go.
Facilities, fees and opening times come from OpenStreetMap and can be out of date. Check with the site before you go. Campsite data: © OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL 1.0 · Updated October 3, 2026

FAQs
Which rim of the Grand Canyon is better for camping?
The South Rim is open all year, has more campgrounds and services and is easier to reach. The North Rim is higher, cooler and much quieter, but open only in the warmer months, and services there are limited after the 2025 wildfire. Driving between the two rims takes several hours, so most campers pick one.
