Bright Angel Camp — The most common destination for Grand Canyon hikers. BA Camp has benches, indoor toilets, and tapwater. Snacks, beer and even full meals (reservations limited) are available to hikers at Phantom Ranch.

Trails — Options to reach the campground are Bright Angel Trail and more direct South Kaibab Trail. Continue north along the creek through a section of very deep granite gorge to Cottonwood Camp and the North Rim.

Routes — See Bright Angel Canyon.

2002 June - My first overnight stay at the campground since my very first hike into Grand Canyon at age 12, passing through many times but not staying.

2003 December - Nights 1 and 6 of the Haunted Cattle Adventure.
