North Rim Campground (AZ)

Very nice camp spot, outstanding staff. Only one complaint. Because of the historic heat wave, it would have helped us a lot to be able to turn on a generator a bit earlier in the day. Like 3 pm to 6, instead of 6 to 8. Having hauled a huge house to the camp, it would have been much nicer to be able to use my air conditioner. Particularly during what we began to call, the "hydrocarbon hour" Too hot to close a window, yet the air was mostly charcoal starter and very smoky fires.

Not that the weather is your fault, but if we could have applied to the camp host to run our very quiet generator earlier, we would not have left a day early. Just couldn't stand another day of 90 in the camper, with smoke blowing in one window and out the other. I totally understand restrictions on noisy generators all day, but for those of us who spend big bucks on a quiet one, we should be able to get permission to run it during a heat wave.

Great place to explore the North Rim. Well managed, access to lots of services. We'll be back.

Great location with plenty of clean and close bathrooms. The lodge and general store were both near enough to walk and the other campers were respectable and quiet. This is the second time I’ve stayed and definitely not the last!

Very nice, informative staff. Bathrooms were ok. Wonderful nearby trails, but be careful of unexpected rain showers, thunder and lightning.

Spacious sites with tall trees, picnic tables and fire rings. Clean restrooms with flush toilets.

Very nice location, large sites in nice surroundings. Lots of noise generators though.

Great experience at campground would definitely do it again

The North Rim is my happy place. The campground is beautiful, and the tent sites are just steps from the canyon itself. Although there were water issues, that is to be expected in such a remote place, and the park staff were very helpful in explaining where and how to get water. Again, the pit toilet was not ideal, but a way better option than traipsing all the way to the other part of the campground. We were prepared from a previous stay and brought a solar shower, but lo and behold the commercial showers reopened just as we got there! The laundry facility was nice and big, with minimal wait times and lots of machines. The general store has just about everything you could possibly want, including REALLY good coffee. It was nice to have the lodge close enough to walk to, but not so close that you felt part of the "hotel crowd."
