Recreation The campground has a short nature hike that allows visitors to view local flora and fauna. Elsewhere, the nearby town of Tusayan offers horseback riding, helicopter rides and other tours.

Awesome “off-grid” campground! Beautiful forest with great trails. Lots of wildlife to see. Great location. Close to the Grand Canyon south rim entrance. The campground offers clean, composting toilets but no water or sewer connections.
This place is amazing if you want a large, quiet, uncrowded campsite with plenty of space between sites. No hookups but I'm ok with that. The cleanest park restrooms I've ever seen and only a few miles from the south rim entrance to the Grand Canyon.
Wonderful campground, very spacious sites and beautiful. Campground host very nice. Now the bad. Not sure where the other people who recently commented stayed but this bathroom was worst I have ever seen. Thank goodness for our toilet in our pop up. It was so disgusting. It needs to be dumped and cleaned. There are hundreds of flies in there due to the overfull toilets. The camp host said they are trying to get someone out here to dump. Unacceptable. Maybe the other ones around here aren't so bad but these are beyond repulsive.
Very clean! Squirrel loop was nice, had the most shade and very nice camp host. The yellow jackets at the faucets and flies in the bathroom were annoying but tolerable. Love the lighted path to the bathroom at night. Elk came thru the campground as well. We didn't see the coyote but heard him a few nights.

Just like most campers at Ten-X, we were forced to camp here due to the campgrounds on the South Rim not being available due to the high demand.. in MID-OCTOBER.
Clean outhouses (toilets), however there is no light anywhere on this CG and there’s no sink either, so bring a flashlight.
Very quiet location, not many other campers (on a Saturday). Fireplace available. $20 for a regular site, has to be paid with the yellow envelope when entering the park; you’ll have to go all the way back to pay because the ranger doesn’t come around often. QR-code to pay only works during the season, so in our case they already deactivated the QR-codes since they only extended it for a month 1/2. No cash = no way to pay.
