RV rentals provide an unparallelled traveling experience for the experienced traveler. Not only can you get close to the action, but you have the best view of this magnificent and majestic country the United States. We believe campervan hire is the ultimate way to travel.
With miles and miles of RV friendly countryside this corner of the country is ideally suited to a camper rental holiday. We know from experience that RV rental holiday makers are looking for an exceptional and inspiring travel experience. What better place to be inspired than the Grand Canyon.
Tourists are drawn here from far and wide for many different reasons. Almost 4 million people visit every year. It definiately pays to plan ahead. Hopefully we will inspire you to grab an RV rental and take your next holiday at the Grand Canyon.
THINGS TO DO
The Grand Canyon is a truly amazing place to spend time. If you leave the comfort of your RV rental you can go exploring beyond the campsite. You can stroll along one of the rim trails and hiking tracks. Heading west you will find Hermit’s Rest, a 1914 stone building named after a 19th-century French-Canadian prospector. These days, it’s a gift shop and snack bar at which you can stop and rest and plan your next move.
The famous mule rides are not for the faint hearted. The slender animals walk surefootedly along narrow ledges carved into the wall of the canyon. This is like stepping back into time when life was less complicated but a lot more scary. After finishing up with the mule ride it’s safe to say you will not want to see another mule ever again. We recommend retreating to your RV rental vehicle for some well earned rest and relaxation.
Active types can choose from many hiking trails. Less active types choose to explore the area’s cultural history. One such cultural draw card is the amazing Wupatki Pueblo. This is accessible by a self guided trail that starts at the visitor centre and takes approximately 45 minutes to complete. About 800 years ago Wupatki was the largest pueblo around. It was a thriving home base for a variety of local peoples. The remains of 100 rooms can still be found today, including communal areas where daily life would have taken place.
RV FRIENDLY CAMPSITES
There are two developed campsites on the South Rim which allow for overnight RV stays. There is a limit of 7 days imposed upon campers and both campsites have a strict limit of 30 foot maximum on all campervans and RVs.
The Mather Campground requires bookings in advance during peak season. The other site, Desert View Campground operates on a first come first served basis all year round. The campground is usually full by early afternoon during the busy summer months. These are dry sites, meaning no utility, water, or sewer hookups. Showers are only available at the Mather Campground.
Our customers are pleased to learn that many of the modern conveniences we provide in our RV rentals as standard are not provided at the campgrounds. You will appreciate these mod-cons when they are not readily available.
Unfortunately there is only a small range of dining options in the Grand Canyon area. But from the comfort of your very own RV rental this will not present a problem. A decently sized fridge/freezer, air conditioned throughout with convenient cooking equipment, it will seem like you have all the comforts of home.
