Tusayan - Montane
Hosted by USDA Forest Service
New listing
Perhaps the biggest draw to Tusayan-Montane Campground in northern Arizona is its proximity to the South Rim of Grand Canyon National Park. Located just 4 miles south of the park entrance in beautiful Kaibab National Forest, Tusayan-Montane is a quiet, peaceful campground that generally has open camping sites, and it can accommodate individual and family visitors as well as large groups of up to 75 people. Commercial tour groups are not allowed: commercial operators must obtain a special use permit to operate on National Forest System lands, and due to high public demand the Kaibab National Forest is not issuing permits for this campground until further notice. The campground has 142 single campsites across 5 loops, each accommodating up to eight people, plus 18 double campsites that can accommodate up to 14. Thirty sites are first-come, first-served; all others are reservable. Sites include picnic tables, fire pits and grills, and vehicle parking, with access to nearby pit toilets. There are also two group sites — Group Site A accommodates up to 75 people and Group Site B up to 50, both with picnic shelters, tables and tent pads — and groups larger than 75 can reserve both. Due to limited water supply, there is no water available to fill RV tanks. The campground has trail connectivity to the town of Tusayan and the Arizona National Scenic Trail. The Tusayan-Montane Loop Trails offer up to 9 miles of non-motorized trails open to equestrian, hiking and biking use, including e-bikes, though equestrian use is not allowed within the campground. Two of the trail system's five access points are in the campground; the other three are on Forest Road 302. A shorter loop trail within the campground lets visitors observe local flora and fauna. Tusayan-Montane is situated in a pleasant Ponderosa pine and Gambel oak forest at an elevation of 6,600 feet, nestled on the Colorado Plateau, an area of land uplifted by geologic processes. Summer temperatures range from 50 degrees at night to 80-90 degrees during the day. Summer thunderstorms, known as the monsoon, can build up quickly, especially during July and August, and snow is common from December through March. The adjacent town of Tusayan has a wide array of amenities, such as a gas station, restaurants, a small grocery store, banks, hotels, internet access, mountain biking trails and many different tours, including horseback riding and helicopter rides.
