South Rim Campground

One of the most breath taking sights I've ever seen, at golden hour overlooking the rim!

The South Rim campground is close to the telescope park (an empty lot near the South Rim Campground) where the star parties are held. Definitely visit during a star party!

We had such a good experience at the South Rim campground. We didn't have a reservation, but were able to grab a great site in loop C. The sites are fairly close together but there are trees and bushes separating all of them, so you feel fairly secluded. If you go, be sure to check out the evening ranger program and look through all of the astronomer's telescopes. We saw Jupiter, Saturn, a binary star and more!

The South Rim has a good amount of first-come, first-serve sites. I had no trouble finding and reserving a spot! Great privacy between sites, and trees are abundant. No sinks or mirrors in bathrooms, but you'll survive. Great site!
