GRAND CANYON, AZ.— Grand Canyon National Park will implement a fee increase for frontcountry standard campsites at Desert View, North Rim, and Mather Campgrounds starting May 1, 2025. Rates for standard campsites will increase to $30 per night. Group sites will remain $55 per night.

Recreation fees provide essential funding for maintaining and improving facilities and visitor services. Projects supported by these fees include campground repairs and improvements, increasing accessibility, and facility restoration. This fee increase will help ensure the park continues to enhance visitor services.

Park staff gathered public comments on the proposed fee increase in November and December 2024. The last major rate adjustment occurred in 2005. For more information on this rate change, visit ParkPlanning – Campground Fee Increase at Grand Canyon National Park.

Visitors can now make reservations for spring, summer, and fall at Recreation.gov. For details on reservable and first-come, first-served campsites, visit Grand Canyon National Park’s website
