So the South Rim is the most popular destination at the Grand Canyon National Park. Our intent as to hike and tour the heights and sights of the Grand Canyon staying only there for 3 days and 2 nights. We got a 6 Berth RV from
Motorhome Rental - RV Hire USA, we parked our RV at the Trailer Village because it has hookups, a reservation is needed if you do not want to worry, your pets are welcome too BUT they should be leased at all times and never allowed below the canyon rim. Trailer Village like I said has hook-ups and is adjacent to the Mather Campground that is perfect for your tents because of the trees to trim the heat. The Mather Campground is walking distance from the general store so that’s one convenient thing plus laundry and shower are available and free. However this campground has no hookups. Mather Campground is open all year round but you should make a reservation when coming there between March - November (1-877-444-6777). The Desert View Campground is another no hook ups to park your Rv but you should make a reservation to check their availabilities, they have a few sites to accommodate large RVs but they have a lot for campsites although it is first come first served basis (no reservation is accepted for campsites) and observe a seven-day camping minimum. Good place for your pets too BUT still must be leashed at all times. There are other campgrounds and campsites outside the park camping but would be more distant.

There are a lot of viewpoints at the South Rim and three days for us wouldn’t be enough. Few of the viewpoints require hiking but the best view probably I get to was the Yavapai Point which was just a wow. It is an point to reach from the west of mather point and requires an easy walk. It has an observation station where you can buy books and see information about the Grand Canyon particularly about geology and history. The Yavapai point is close to the Colorado river. Next point to the West is the Grandeur point and this point youd see the Bright Angel Trail which offers you to see the whole legnth of it. Views here are good too and close to wow. Continuing to the West is the Maricopa point which was just fine and as good as the others.

There is a wide range of sights and destinations that awaits your RV (campervan,motorhome) in US. With its array of diverse National Parks especially the Grand Canyon, the wilderness, the vibrant cities and the crystal like seas. United States has certainly something for everyone. Whether you spend a holiday with your friends or family it will always be something that will bring the bond closer and gives you something you don’t expect to see or experience. How can you call it dull when you wake up with the sound of the breeze, eat lunch beside the trees, or dine in a different atmosphere everyday. Our vehicle from Campertravel was something that we needed, perfect for six people with power steering and cruise control making it easier to cruise the road. There are other vehicles to choose at
RV hire usa. It wasn’t that expensive as I thought, I told Dad that he could have paid more for taking us to the hotels and would have been inconvenient to pack and unpack our luggages. Which was certainly something that was obvious.

So we rented out a cool vehicle with toilet and shower. AM/FM radio and CD was a good thing but I was thankful that I brought my ipod so I get rid of my Dad’s oldies. It was great that we can eat outside the vehicle with soothing air but our dinette table inside the vehicle was great we can see green views outside while sitting on a comfortable seat and enjoying our meals from the grill. So of course the Grand Canyon was simply amazing especially at the South Rim that expresses different attitudes. If you could catch up early you should see a good sunrise from Desert View still on the south rim.
