Man you still haven't gotten an answer for this?
OK
There are 2 campgrounds within the S.Rim side of GCNP and 1 CG outside
The one outside is a US Forest Service CG called Ten- X that is basically located across the street from the Airport >It's cheap and primitive (ish )
Inside the Park is the famous or infamous Mather CG which is located in the Village Area ,is expensive ,gets, crowded and absolutely requires reservations
Out on the end of E.Rim Drive /SR 64 is the CG @Desert View
No reservations required and an absolutely beautiful place to be .If you want to see an awesome sunrise >drive out of the Park downhill towards Cameron and as soon as you clear the trees pull over and watch the sun come up of the tortured red landscapes of the Navajo & Hopi Reservations
I don't know where you're coming into the Park from But if you use the Cameron/Desert View routing [hint ] make sure that you top off your tank in Cameron
Enjoy the Canyon

Camping gear rental around Grand Canyon?
alfred929
My friend and I are going camping in Grand Canyon (south rim). We don't want to haul our own camping gears as we will be flying into Arizona. Are camping gears (such as tent) available for rent?
Thanks!
Answer
I have heard that the Canyon Village Marketplace (the general store at Grand Canyon Village in the park) rents some camping equipment, but I am not positive and don't know the prices. I would definitely call first and verify (see number below).
If you are flying into Phoenix, than the REI store in Tempe (not far from the airport) rents camping equipment including tents, backpacks and sleeping bags.
Also, in the town of Flagstaff (halfway between Phoenix and the canyon) is a great outdoors equipment store called Peace Surplus (the name is because it started as a military surplus store long ago, but it is now a fairly high-end outdoors and sporting goods shop).
I have had friends rent gear from REI and it was fine (although obviously not new or high-end). I have never rented from Peace Surplus, but they have been there for a long time and I have purchased things from them on many occasions.
When selecting your clothing and gear, remember that the rim of the canyon is at 7,000 feet elevation and is starting to get quite cool (especially in the evenings) - the bottom of the canyon will still be warm more Phoenix-like temps.
Have fun!
