Context

Overnight camping at Grand Canyon National Park outside of the three developed campgrounds (Mather Campground and Desert View on the South Rim, and the North Rim Campground on the other side of the canyon) is controlled by a permit system. Backpackers apply months in advance for a particular itinerary on a specific date, hoping that the lottery puts their request close enough to the head of the line that they are granted a permit before the backcountry areas they want to visit are full on those dates.

The process is described in detail on the Backcountry Information Center web page:

Data

This data is pulled from the tables inside the annual PDF “2019 Backcountry and River Use Statistics”:
