Havasupai Indian Reservation

Havasu Canyon remains closed to visitation through June 2022

• All Havasupai tourism remains suspended. It is not currently known when tourism will resume.
  For updates please visit: https://www.havasupaireservations.com/
• With the increases in transmission seen nationwide, the Havasupai Chairman Tommy Siyuja and the council made the decision to continue the closure of Havasu Canyon to visitors. People with bookings dated after May 31st, 2022 are not impacted by the suspension of tourism for now, according to a statement from the tribe. No new reservations will be available for purchase while tourism is suspended, and the Havasupai Tribe look forward to welcoming tourists back when it is safe to do so.
• The National Park Service (NPS) is requesting all river trips, both commercial and non-commercial, to voluntarily bypass Havasu Canyon on the Colorado river, located at river mile 157.
• This request is an effort to minimize the spread of the COVID-19 virus and to further safeguard the Havasupai people and their traditional lands. River guides and boaters are encouraged to honor this request out of respect and safety for the Havasupai people. Camping at the confluence is always prohibited.
• The Tribe and Grand Canyon National Park collectively request that all river operators and permit holders respect the unique public health threat to the Havasupai Tribe and respect the sovereignty of the Tribe to enforce the emergency closure. (Updated: January 11, 2022).

 

Havasu Canyon is a fragile environment and is subject to flash floods.

Because of flood damage that took place during 2018, and 2019, some areas in the canyon are OFF-LIMITS to visitors due to continuing repair work or unstable ground condition. Immediate closure of the canyon is possible at any given time during your visit. Visitors to Havasu Canyon assume all risks while in the canyon and should come prepared.

Supai Village

Located within Havasu Canyon, a large tributary on the south side of the Colorado River, Supai Village is not accessible by road. The Havasupai Tribe administers the land, which lies outside the boundary and jurisdiction of Grand Canyon National Park.

The Havasupai Tribe's website is located here:

There are many more reservation requests than available campground spaces. The impact of visitors in the canyon, 2018 flood damage, and the cost of maintaining trails and visitor services has been overwhelming.

An account with Havasupai Reservations is required to create a 2020 campground reservation.
