Frommer's Grand Canyon National Park
Chapter One
Camping with a Car in
the Grand Canyon Area
This chapter focuses on camping with a car-that is, camping done
in or near RVs and automobiles. Most car campgrounds have individual
pullouts for parking, grassy spots for tents, picnic tables, fire
rings or grills, toilets, and drinking water. A few so-called "primitive"
campgrounds lack running water. Located in remote areas,
these often consist of little more than open space and a pit toilet. In
addition to car campgrounds, the Grand Canyon area is home to a
handful of RV parks-places where recreational vehicles can tap
into water and electricity during overnight stays.
Numerous car campgrounds and RV parks can be found in and
near the developed areas of Grand Canyon National Park (as well as
one primitive car campground near the western canyon). In addition
to the campgrounds listed in this chapter, you'll find many
other car campgrounds and RV parks farther from the canyon, in
the gateway communities of Flagstaff, Williams, and Kanab.
For more information, see "Backcountry Campgrounds," in
chapter 4.
