Grand Canyon National Park is continuing to ease water conservation measures as water supply levels improve.

Water spigots in Mather Campground and Desert View Campground have been turned on. Camper Services, operated by Delaware North, will reopen to the public on Tuesday, April 28.

Fire restrictions on the South Rim have been lifted; however, campfires are only permitted in established campfire rings. Visitors and residents are reminded to use caution and practice responsible fire use at all times.

Water conservation measures remain in place, and visitors and residents are encouraged to continue reducing water use by taking shorter showers, running full loads of laundry and dishes, and turning off water when not in use.

These updates reflect continued progress in restoring visitor services. The park appreciates the cooperation of visitors and the community as recovery efforts continue.
