Indian Garden Campground

Havasupai Gardens is a campground nestled in the heart of the Grand Canyon between the South Rim and the Colorado River. The 15 campsites sit among tall cottonwood trees, creating a green oasis within the desert canyon.

The area once served as farmland when the Havasupai people irrigated fields using natural springs here. Over time, it evolved into a camping destination while retaining the vegetation that made agriculture possible.

The site honors the heritage of the Havasupai people, renamed Havasupai Gardens in 2022 to recognize their connection to this place. Visitors can sense this indigenous presence while walking through the vegetated landscape shaded by mature trees.

The site provides restrooms, drinking water, emergency phones, and covered picnic tables essential for hikers on the Bright Angel Trail. Visitors should know the area remains remote and water remains a scarce resource.

Deer and other wildlife regularly roam through the camping area, especially during early morning and late evening hours. These encounters remind visitors that they are guests in a natural animal habitat.
