This campground is inside Grand Canyon National Park. Long full-service paved/gravel sites with 30 or 50 amp electrical and cable TV. Great water pressure, BBQ grill, picnic tables and recycling. Quite a trek to the bath house though. Spotty cell service throughout the park. Don't leave your sewer connection attached outside or the birds will peck holes in the hose (so said the ranger). Reservations always recommended.
