Main Havasupai Rangers Office — Hotel in Four Corners States

HAVASUPAI IS AMAZING! That said, I'll keep this review specifically about the campgrounds.

Campsites: First, the campsites aren't numbered or mapped out like most places, but it seems to work just fine here. Find a spot that suits your needs & set up camp. Campsites start just past the ranger station & go all the way down to the cliffs above Mooney Falls. The creek runs throughout the campgrounds & splits off into sometimes 2 or 3 veins with little islands of land in between. Most sites have the creek running right by you, so you can play, relax & cool off in the water. It also makes great "white noise" to drown out the sounds of other campers.

Temperatures: I can only speak to the time of year that I visited, which was late June. The campgrounds sit in an area full of trees & feels very tropical. We were here for 4 days & the day temps peaked between 99° - 112°. The trees give relief from the sun beating down on you, but the air temps will have you sweating. Nighttime temps stayed between 68° - 78°. One interesting phenomena was that every night when the sun would go down (approximately 8pm) there would start to be a strong hot breeze that would blow through the canyon for several hours. This breeze was hotter than the temps before 8pm. I think it has something to do with the air flows bringing all the heat from the canyon walls down into the canyon. I recommend bringing a hammock to sleep in, instead of a tent unless your tent has lots of ventilation. You may also just want a tent for privacy & changing clothes.

Water: There's only 1 source of drinking water in the campgrounds. That source is a natural spring that locals have attached a pipe to. I think they could do a better job of making it easier to find and fix up the little area around it. Even so, it was very delicious water & once you knew where it was, you were good to go for all your water needs. I recommend bringing large 3.0 liter water hydration bladders when you come here, because the temperature is hot and the hikes can be long and tough. I also recommend additional means of water storage for the campsite so that you don't have to constantly run back & forth to the spring & wait in line.

Toilets: Considering how remote this place is & the fact that there's no roads, I was very pleasantly surprised that throughout the campgrounds they have composting toilets. The toilets were well maintained, well stocked & didn't smell too bad. We hiked in several rolls of toilet paper, but never needed it because there was always plenty.

Bugs: Plenty of bugs, but surprisingly they weren't too much of a bother. Of all the bugs, flies were more of a nuisance than anything else. there were some mosquitoes, but we really didn't have any issues with them. To avoid fly problems, keep your trash inside a bag in an area away from where you sleep or eat. At night it's the moths & small flies that will bug the hell out of you if you keep a light on. The flies are very small and were able to get through the mesh of my tent. I learned the hard way when I decided to read a book at night using a headlamp. Just something to keep in mind.

Critters: You'll be happy to hear that none of us saw any snakes, tarantulas, scorpions or anything else dangerous. What we did see is lots of lizards, birds, small fish, squirrels & bats (only at dusk, & probably why there's so few mosquitoes.). The squirrels were the biggest problem. They will chew through tents, rucksacks & bags to get to your food. When you arrive at the campgrounds, you'll see lots of orange buckets with lids. Grab enough to put all your food in. This is the best way to avoid losing your food & avoid a torn tent or rucksack.

I know this is a long review, but I also wanted it to be as informative as possible. I highly recommend coming to camp here, but remember that proper preparation and knowledge will make it all that much...

I don't understand the 1 star reviews for unfriendly locals and pack animals. The pack animals are only allowed to carry 64 lbs and are owned and contracted by private residents. I saw several skinny horses out of the hundreds down there. We have taken 99% of Indian land, so if one does not say high to you it's not a reason for a bad review. Rich white people expecting to be waited on or be welcomed with a party should not go. If you pass a local just say hi and keep walking. They are not valets or works for the campground and they owe you nothing and are just living their life so leave them alone and hike to the falls. Mind your business and enjoy nature, that's what you are there to do. Be grateful they let you on their land. You don't stop shopping because of a crappy store, so don't cut a culture down because some guy did not take care of his animals. As far as beauty 100+ stars The people are the same as everywhere, some nice others keep to themselves. 99% of my interactions with local Indians were friendly. Just remember it's a town, not a event for you. There is somebody at the campground to answer all your questions. Just because you see an Indian does not mean they are...

One of my favorite Hikes for the rest of my life!!!

I LOVE THIS PLACE! It's so magical! The water is a blue that you figure must be tropical in nature and figure you must be in the Caribbean rather than Arizona!

So what you need to know about this hike. To get to the camp ground is actually closer to 11 miles. 8 miles from the parking lot to the village. Then Supai village is around a mile long and then from there its another 2 miles to the camp ground. So keep this in mind.

The first falls you will reach are Havasupai falls and the camping spots are in-between Havasupai falls and beaver falls which is around a mile and a half. There are 3 bathrooms I believe which are pretty nice actually.

Beyond this the village has a grocery store, public restrooms and a restaurant that has been epic food. Truly the food is pretty darn good. I had the cheese burger and was not disappointed.

Enjoy the beautiful places!! I can't wait...
