North Rim Campground (AZ)

Campsite was spacious & free of debris. Bathrooms were clean, well lit and warm water.

Great campground. We had a great time riding mules into the canyon. Plan ahead if you have a generator because times are limited.

Great campsite, definitely make a reservation!

The bathrooms were spacious, clean, and well-lit. The campsites are spread farther apart than most other campsites, offering a bit more privacy and quiet that way. The host was informative and efficient, and visitor services are very close by. I would love to revisit!

Beautiful campground, close to the rim, with stunning views. Only downside was that the women’s bathroom was out of order and running water was located far from our site. Site was so lovely that we’d come back though!

Camp hosts were hard working.

Early June. Not a whole lot of people and the ones who were there were polite, quiet, good neighbors.

The North rim of the Grand Canyon is one of my favorite vacation places. The campground is usually full, but never feels crowded. Ponderosa Pines provide constantly moving shade, and they sound wonderful in the breeze. There is no need to move your vehicle because everything is within about a mile from the sites. The general store and canyon rim are right there.
I highly recommend this campground.

We truly enjoyed this remote campground right on the rim - you can go hike right from there, or just take in the awesome scenery. I am sure know there are no hook-up on site. There are communal water spigots scattered throughout. The staff was just perfect. There are tall trees and there is plenty of shade. Just an incredible nature experience. No we have a 37 ft class A motorhome, and despite warnings of low tree canopies we felt is was just fine, but I think we were the largest RV there. Many sites accommodate only smaller units, although there is, in most cases, room to spare. We did not use public restrooms, so I cannot speak about those, but everything looked sparkly clean. We, like almost everyone who had one, used our generator sparingly within times allowed because we had to recharge batteries that run our fridge, but it almost made you feel guilty disturbing this pristine nature spot. Everyone is very considerate about their neighbors, you will find nature lovers, hikers... The North Rim Lodge is a short walk/hike away and has a stunning sun deck. As we were on the more "touristy" south side before, it is quite out of the way - but I am glad we came. It is a different experience - much more in tune with nature and minus the crowds. I am glad we made reservations, and you should as well to ensure your long drive was for nothing because the campground is full.

This location is absolutely fantastic. Dramatic views of the canyon, wonderful historic lodge, majestic ponderosa pines, low crowd levels, and refreshingly cooler than the surrounding desert landscapes. A short and amazing hike from the campground to the lodge along the Transept Trail was the perfect start to the day. Breakfast and coffee at the lodge were amazing, and the staff were even better. I hope that I'll be back one day.
