Lees Ferry Campground

Grand Canyon Region


On a small hill, Lees Ferry Campground has 54 river-view sites along with drinking water and toilets, but no hookups. With views of towering red rocks and the river, it's a strikingly pretty spot to camp. Public coin showers and a laundry are available at Marble Canyon Lodge. All sites are first-come, first-serve.
