Whether you are hiking down the South Kaibab, the North Kaibab or the Bright Angel trails your goal is the green delta created by the Bright Angel Creek as it enters the Colorado.
Tucked away in the back is the Phantom Ranch. Spread out along the creekside is the campground. You must have and display a permit to camp here, but otherwise chosing a site is first come first served. Each spot had a flat area for a tent and a table with brush separating them and giving some privacy. Water and toilets were located centrally.
I really don't know much else. I had just arrived, had a chance to clean up and the dinner bell rang. We had signed up for dinner at the Ranch and headed over there for the most delicious stew dinner. Had a great talk with other people, after dinner went to the campfire program with a ranger who scared us about scorpions and cougars. And then it was time to sleep. Since it was going to be hot we were up before dawn and on the trail at first light. So my experience there was brief but very welcome.
