person with limited mobility? My friend has prosthetic leg. He can walk about 1 mile on level terrain. It doesn't have to be paved but nothing too steep or rocky. Recommendations on specific camp grounds or hiking trails would be appreciated.
 
In addition to doing the S.Rim's Rim Trail from The Visitors Center at Mather Point out to Hermits Rest >Use the W.Rim Shuttle to hike segments of it and then to ride to other segments of it that you wish to hike.>
There is also the walk along the Rim from Mather Point to Yaki Point/S.KaibabTrailhead
and then there is this little gem of a hike:
Drive out on E.Rim Drive to Moran Point

Find the New Hance Trailhead and hike until it starts getting serious about heading downhill
Stop!!
If you listen really carefully you can hear the (still)awesome power of Hance Rapids
 
I'd say the South Rim.. It's way more developed, and there's tons of easy level trails to hike on.
