How many tents fit on a campground?
Q. I'm going camping this weekend and the people I'm going with are idiots and aren't planning this out at all. They are the ones paying for camp site and everything but they don't even know how many tents can fit on 1 camp site. What is the average number of tents 1 campground can hold?

A. Not knowing the size of the sight, I can only guess. Tent size matters also. If everyone put their tent as far from center as possible in the shape of a (U) at the end, I would say 8 to 10. This will leave the whole center area for cooking and sitting around the fire. Your bigger problem is where to park all of the cars for all of these people. Cars are big and cannot hide.

What campground is best to camp at, at the Grand Canyon?
Q. My husband and I are taking our 4 little kids (1-7 years old) camping at the Grand Canyon next month in June. I'm just wondering what campground we should stay at? We would like somewhere with running water and flush toilets, and other stuff like that. You know the easy, convenient way to camp. We will be sleeping in a tent and need room for parking a minivan and small utility trailer. We would like someplace not too busy but also want fun activities and to be close to stuff to see. Thanks for any good answers!

A. Here's a couple of recommendations for Grand Canyon South Rim: 1. Kaibab Lake Campground - It's near the juncture of 1-17 & Hwy 64 at Williams going north to the Canyon. It's about 60 miles from the Park gate but the setting is beautiful and you've got a lake. Campsites have all you need. 2. Mather Campground - Just inside the Park gates. Call in advance as it can book quick. Great value. Has bathrooms, running water. It's also near the in-Park supermarket. Bike paths aplenty. Easy access to shuttle buses. That'll get you started.
