You could be referring to several campgrounds. As described on these three pages...http://www.andybaird.com/travels/first/first04.htm> http://www.andybaird.com/travels/first/first05.htm> http://www.andybaird.com/travels/first/first06.htm> ... I stayed at Canyon Gateway RV Park in Williams, then drove to the south rim of the Grand Canyon and stayed in the Mather campground, a beautiful, tree-shaded dry camping site in or near Canyon Village. I chose NOT to stay in Trailer Village, a commercial campground also near Canyon Village, because it was an "RV slum with hookups"--row after row of bare cement pads with no trees to speak of. Ugh!Andy Baird http://www.andybaird.com/travels/

Ugh! Not only that, but since it's a concessionaire-run RV park, it does not honor either the Senior Pass or the Access Pass (the old Golden Age Passport or Golden Access Passport) for half-price camping.Linda Hylton http://map.datastormusers.com/user1.cfm?user=1167 http://earl-linda.blogspot.com/

Ugh!" Andy, it may be ugly -well, I guess it's REALLY ugly, but housing is at a premium there and folks take whatever they can get if they want to live there. Trailer Village was very safe when we lived there. We had a decent home because the school had enough housing for all employees. The bank, grocery store, gift shops etc. were on their own. Karen - oh so grounded in NJ. We've even talked about selling Ladybug rather than have her sit for a year!
