This is the only campground at the Colorado River on the corridor trail. To stay the night, you have to get a permit from the Backcountry Office at Grand Canyon National Park, which can be obtained four months before your stay. Bright Angel Campground is close to Phantom Ranch and has toilets as well as potable water. The sites are close to Bright Angel Creek and equipped with picnic tables and metal boxes.

A beautiful campsite in the Grand Canyon. The sites are well-maintained and offer enough space even for a larger tent. My two-man tent had no problems. Each site is equipped with a seating area and a hook for hanging backpacks. There's also a box for food to keep it safe from rodents.

Phantom Ranch is just a few minutes away, and you can get homemade lemonade and a cold beer there.

The prices are high, but that's not surprising considering that everything has to be brought down from the rim on mules.
