Truck Camping Grand Canyon South Rim for FREE

This weekend we check out the Grand Canyon South Rim and camp out on some BLM land within the Park! Starting off with a 4 hour drive from Las Vegas, we arrived at the park around noon where it was about mid 80s, along the way we drove through Williams, Grand Canyon Junction and Tusayan. On the way there were a few Forest Service Roads that were our back up camp spots in case our first choice off Coconino road was full! Links/coordinates to all campsites below!

To enter the park, there is a $35 park fee unless you have the America the Beautiful pass which will get you into the park for FREE!

The first place we went to was Mather Point which had the BEST views in the park, easy, paved trail to walk and close to the parking lot. Dogs are allowed they just have to be leashed! Note – there are multiple view points around Mather Point so walk around and find your own private little slice of the area to enjoy and soak up all the amazing scenery! There were also ample facilities in the area from bathrooms to picnic areas and drinking water refill stations.
