About

Located just 4 miles south of Grand Canyon National Park's south entrance and 2 miles south of Tusayan, Tusayan-Montane Campground (formerly Ten-X Campground) offers a serene base camp for exploring the Grand Canyon. The campground underwent a major expansion and was rededicated in 2024 as part of the Baaj Nwaavjo I'tah Kukveni – Ancestral Footprints of the Grand Canyon National Monument. Set in a pleasant ponderosa pine and Gambel oak forest on the Colorado Plateau at 6,600 feet elevation, the campground now features 160 individual/family sites across five loops named for local wildlife: Raven, Black Bear, Elk, Pronghorn, and Squirrel. Sites are large and well-spaced, offering more privacy than typical developed campgrounds. Two group sites can accommodate 50-75 people each. About 130 sites are reservable through Recreation.gov, while 30 sites remain first-come, first-served. Summer temperatures range from 50°F at night to 80-90°F during the day. Monsoon thunderstorms are common in July and August. A 3-mile loop trail and shorter nature trails wind through the forest, allowing visitors to observe local flora and fauna. The nearby town of Tusayan offers restaurants, gas, groceries, and tour services. No hookups or dump station are available, but these services can be found in Grand Canyon National Park.
