If camping during elk mating season, prepare to hear some overnight bugling.
Watch out for squirrels! They are cute and all, but they could be quite vicious when they want your food. Never leave food unattended. When you're done eating, lock your food in your car. NEVER TAKE FOOD INTO YOUR TENT!
If camping at Mather Campground or North Rim Campground, leave your car at your campsite and walk to the rim for the best sunset and sunrise views of the Grand Canyon.
The closest international airport distance-wise to the South Rim is Phoenix, but you don't get any of the other parks on the way and it's much farther away from the North Rim.

On the way to the North Rim, you can visit Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon National Park, Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, Vermillion Cliffs National Monument, Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, and many more amazing sites.
