Hello there! Anyone have recent experience using Verizon at Grand Canyon Trailer Village RV Park? I don't see any recent Verizon reviews on Campendium. I found a TripAdvisor post from several years ago indicating that Verizon had bought the tower there and therefore Verizon customers had the best experience, but I'm looking for first hand recent experience if anyone has any.

I know some of you will be itching to tell me to turn my phone off at Grand Canyon and experience nature. Thank you, your opinion is noted! Cell phone service or no go.

We were there in May ... cell service no issue in Village. We camped in an outlying CG, and had iffy, touch and go. But we were always able to find access when we needed it, and used our hotspot with no problems.

Thanks! Phone, texting, and data? Any streaming usage?

Desert View - had hit and miss. Village we got phone, data, text, hotspot. Don't know if Village has WIFI itself because we only use our own hotspot when traveling, never CG WIFI.

Wife is Verizon, Mine is T-Mobile ... both active in Village ... other areas around GrdCyn were hit and miss. Don't know about streaming, as we do not...
