Grand Canyon Dome (The Launch Pad)
Great spot, know your destination
Wonderful Hipcamp location. Very peaceful and well-appointed. The shower and toilet are better than you might imagine. Very clean and safe stop if you are coming through or need a spot to launch your Grand Canyon adventures without being surrounded by crowds in the public campgrounds. We arrived at night and the turn off was a little hard to see. Additionally, road to the spot is bumpy and should be fine for most cars, but be prepared to take it slow. Lastly, if arriving at night like we did, get a good look at the location on Google maps images from above. In the dark of night we stopped first at a nearby dome just across from the correct destination.

A blanket of stars ❤️
Awesome communication! Stars were AMAZING! Dome was clean and easy to access to unlock. Little chilly but the propane heater heats things up quickly. Lots of hand held light devices with extra batteries. The road going in it not paved and a little rough but if you take ur time you will be fine, we did it in a Tesla lol

Overall, we had a good experience staying in the Dome! It was our first “glamping” experience, and it was a little bit more rustic than expected but I thought that it was good for the price. The nights got very cold in the dome so the extra sleeping bags and the propane heater were essential!
The shower and bathroom are a bit rustic (outdoor shack), so if you plan to shower, be sure to get there during the day.
The dome is pretty remote minus two RVs 50 yards away and an airstream just next door. The long dirt roads to get to the dome are a bit bumpy with lots of potholes so a high clearance vehicle is definitely recommended!
Flying in from out of state, it was a bit hard to bring everything that we would have needed. Pack for a camping trip and you should be good to go!

This little dome was the perfect spot for a weekend at the Grand Canyon! The space was clean, the host was communicative, and we loved being off the grid for a bit!

We had a great time at Christophers place! We only stood for 1 night, but will definitely be back to star gaze some more.

Grand Canyon Dome (The Launch Pad)
The best part was definitely the night sky. We could clearly see the milky way and even some shooting stars. The dome is simple, but had everything that we needed. Christopher left extra blankets for us which we also used. Be prepared for it to get cold at night!
There was a clean outdoor toilet and a nice open air shower. After 3 people took a brief shower there wasn't any water left though.
At night the other guest who stayed in the trailer on the same property made a fire and we all enjoyed it together. There is also a simple grill that you can use.
All in all, it was a good experience. I would definitely visit again!
