Thanks for watching and for your kind comment.

I will say, I do miss how affordable camping is. Especially in the parks. Great information, GC! You do such a wonderful job at informing everyone about the Grand Canyon.

Room rates at the rim hotels have tripled in recent years, and despite the challenges, I am thinking about going back to camping as I did when I was younger. However, there is also the appeal of a hot bath after a hard hike. . . Thanks so much for watching.

$6 a night, count me in. I am all for saving money. It sounds like fun and adventurous. I didn’t know how cheap Grand Canyon campsites can be. Good job.

The $6 sites do not appear in the reservations section, so I assume they are the walk-up sites which are available at both Mather and North Rim. With all the cost of getting to the Canyon, it makes sense to me to spring for the $18 reserved site, but that is just my opinion.

It is always fun to revisit memorable places from your past! I first visited Grand Canyon in 1970, and look where it has got me now! Thanks for your comment.

Great information for anyone planning to visit the Grand Canyon. Some prices pleasantly surprised me, I thought it was more expensive. You took the time and effort to explain everything in detail. Excellent video.

Yes, considering the facilities, I think the prices are reasonable, but it is government owned, so profit is not a motive.

Sounds like a great way to save money while seeing one of nature's 7 wonders.

It is the most affordable accomodation in the park.

You are such a wealth of information about the Grand Canyon. I had no idea there were so many camping options and amenities for campers.

Yes, it is suprising that there are so many alternatives, thanks for your comment and thanks for watching!

I am very glad to have watched your video before my family book a hotel at Grand Canyon for a little over $450 per night. After I watched your video, my family has decided to book couple nights at Mather campsite. It was easy and cheap to book them. I can't thank you enough for sharing this video with us. You have saved us tons of money and I just want to say thank you so much. Excellent video and great work.

Wow, it sounds like a perfect place for me to go to Grand Canyon. I didn't know that you can get as low as $6 a night at Grand Canyon. It is intriguing and exciting way to see the canyon without spending too much money there. I like how you presented this video with pros and cons. Thanks for letting us know about it. I really appreciate your video and thank you for sharing.

The $6 sites are apparently very limited. I would plan on paying $18, which allows you to choose your site and get an advance reservation. Best of luck on your upcoming trip!

A useful and comprehensive review of the options. This is useful as I plan to camp there in september. Thank you for the information.

@@HikeNC13 Good luck. End of October, the facilities on North Rim will be closed, (but road and campground open) but I assume you have made shuttle or personal reservations to get back! (but road and I believe campground are open)

Do you have a video about how to get to the GC without driving a car? In other words, how can I get there by bus from the nearest airport? I'd love to spend a few nights there stargazing!

@RationalTalk

There is a train that runs up from Williams Arizona, but it is more a novelty train trip, and you would have to drive to get to Williams. There is a small airport a few miles away in Tusayan, that is served by the Grand Canyon Taxi for a reasonable fee, $20, I think. There are commercial shuttles that run from Flagstaff, which has a small airport, which might be an option. There are commercial tours from Las Vegas that are popular, and likely could accomdate a few nights on the rim. Once you are at the Canyon, a car is not needed, but in truth, driving to Grand Canyon is probably the least expensive and most flexible way to get there. I hope you are able to make the trip!

What is the most pet friendly rim campground? I was thinking of hiking down to the canyon and up again. In which case I would need to board my dog. Has anyone out there done that?

@RationalTalk

I have been to both North Rim and Mather when I had a dog, and I found Mather was better, as dogs are allowed on all South Rim trails above the rim, but not on Bright Angel Point on the North Rim. There is a kennel near Maswik Lodge, I have never visited there. They also rent pet-friendly rooms at Yavapai, so an air-conditioned one might work for your dog, depending on his or her tolerance for staying alone for the day. I did not hike below the rim when I was there with my dog, so we were able to stay together the whole time. Please post how it goes so other dog owners can learn your strategies.
