Desert View

East entrance hotspot

The Watchtower vista encompasses the canyon with clear views of the river and distant desert.

At the nearby Desert View Campground, sleep under the stars and escape the crowds 26 miles from South Rim Village traffic. The campground has 50 sites sized for tents and small RVs (30-foot max), no utilities, water faucets nearby, flush bathrooms, no reservations. Get basic supplies from the General Store, Indian crafts from the Trading Post, grub at the snack bar, and fill up at the service station.

Explore Tusayan Museum and 900-year-old ruins (3 miles away). The nearby roadside viewpoints dazzle with panoramic vistas of the full length of the canyon.
