best tent camping grand canyon image
mosquito_d
I'm going to Grand Canyon (and other canyons like Glen Canyon, Antelope Canyon) next week, and I'm planning to sleep in the campsites overnight.
So I need to bring my own tent with me? Do they already have tents set up on the camp sites?
Also temperature goes to around 14F at nights, so do you suggest sleeping in a tent since it gets really cold at nights? Do people do this?
Thank you!
Answer
Tenting is your responsibility, the resort at the bottom of the canyon has yurts available for a fee. You can also arrange with recreational rental agencies and have delivered and set up at your reserved campsite a very nice camping trailer. The tent camping area is also seasonal meaning that currently the campgrounds are closed on the north rim, south rim is open all year

If you don't have reservations you had better get them pronto as they go fast for the popular dates

How much would it cost to spend 2 months camping?
Plus
We're wanting to take June and July off and just go camping through the state of New Mexico and the grand canyon.
We'll have $1,500 a month and $400 a month for food.
Our monthly going out would be $110 for phones, $157 for our truck, $63 for insurance, plus diapers, wipes and dog food, so about $100.
We plan on staying about 5-7 days in each location, and one of those weeks we'll be staying for free at someone's house.
We're considering buying a cab over camper, it'll be slightly easier than tent camping, but I think it'll be more expensive.
We'll be bringing bikes, so when we stop we won't be driving a ton.
Our main ideas are the grand canyon, Carlsbad caverns, white sands, Roswell, etc.
Does this sound possible with our income?
Answer
$1900 per month should do you just fine. People have made that tour on a whole lot less. Assuming your vehicle is in good shape. It's getting hot out there though. Carry lots of water.
I've been to Carlsbad Caverns, it's very wonderful.
Grand Canyon is going to cost you some. I have heard that they don't even allow cars at the South rim any more, gotta park outside and get bused in. Check on that and be prepared.
White Sands and Roswell won't cost much and I assume Roswell has camping.
You should be able to do all that with the resources you have. I wouldn't do the RV thing, it costs a lot to park them and they require lots of maintenance (and fuel). Use tents.
Hope it goes well!! Sounds like a great trip.
