Grand Canyon camping is the rest and relaxing after a day of activity whether fishing, hiking, cycling, canoeing, kayaking, whitewater rafting - you get the idea. Outfitters usually provide you with the basics of what you will need such as a sleeping bag & pad, tent, eating utensils etc. All you need to do is provide is your outdoor camping clothes, hat, flashlight, sunscreen, personal gear such as your toothbrush and a good attitude. Outfitters will provide you with a list of what to bring for their trip. A Grand Canyon camping trip is so much more comfortable today with folding chairs, warm campfires, cold drinks and some outfitters even offer wine or beer tasting, live music, geology and naturalist lectures.

The Canyon remained largely unknown (and virtually unexplored) until Civil War veteran John Wesley Powell led a famous boat expedition through the Grand Canyon gorge in 1869. The one-armed Army Major and nine men accomplished this feat in four small wooden boats. Powell's party was probably the first ever to make such a trip. After a second journey in 1871-72, he aptly named it Grand Canyon. You can follow Powell's footsteps and explore this incredible place on your Grand Canyon camping trip.

Remember to bring sun-screen on your next Grand Canyon camping trip!
