Within walking distance of the south rim, Mather boasts 317 campsites, a shower and laundry facility as well as a general store, restaurants, gift shops and a nice visitors center. With 4.5 million people visiting the Grand Canyon, reservations are almost a must and can be made five months in advance. Reservations during the winter months (December - March) are not taken and the campground is on a first-come, first-served basis. There is a maximum of two vehicles, six people, three tents are allowed per site. Also, any vehicle towing another vehicle such as a pop-up tent trailer or a motorhome towing a car is considered two vehicles.
