I'm still working on restoring my Airstream, so I van camped in Mather Campground for two nights a couple weeks ago. The Trailer Village has hookups, but Mather does not. Mather is nice, with wooded sites, but only some are suited for longer trailers. I wasn't looking up as I was walking to the restroom early one morning, and walked to within about 20 feet of a big male elk that was standing in the road of the campground loop before noticing. Oops. When I returned from the restroom, I found a small group of elk grazing about 100 yards from my site. As I stood watching, they trotted closer, passing through the next site about 20 yards from me.
The South Rim has a single shower complex, located near Mather. It is known as Camper Services, and also features a coin-operated ice machine and laundry facilities inside, as well as places to plug in and recharge devices in the back. and It is open from 6AM to 11PM, though showers close 11AM - Noon and 3PM to 4PM. Showers are coin operated, costing $2 for 8 minutes. They will also loan/rent towels and sell soap, shampoo, laundry supplies, etc.
