North Rim Campground — Grand Canyon National Park

The north rim may be less “grand” than the south rim, but it’s way quieter with less tourist. Our site (19), was pull thru, no hookups. Not very level & you may have trouble getting a bigger rig into this campground. Very nice camp store. Lots of trail heads w/in walking distance. Bath rooms were just OK. Books up fast of course, be ready 6 months(to the minute) to reserve a site.

Great views. Smaller crowds. Comfortably spaced campgrounds.

Not too far away from the visitor’s center and Kaibab trailhead. Will remember this place.

90% chance of rain was the forecast.  We journeyed on thinking the views would be limited.  Okay, it rained three times that day - all for about an hour each.  The rest of the time was sunny with unbelievable spectacular views.  The campground and its general store was everything we could have wanted (except electric hookup).  Taking the Transept Trail from the campground (Entrance between sites 15 & 16) to the lodge was a great golden nuggets we got from the Ranger.  For years I've said "If you don't believe in a higher being you have to visit the South Island of New Zealand."  Little did I know there's a place much closer to home.....This is IT!!!!

This medium sized campground is well planned, very quiet and generally well maintained except for the shower facilities and laundry room which need upgrades. That said, the bathrooms were always clean, if outdated.

Campground host, Bill, was absolutely excellent--- best I've met.

Campground spaces were generally level except along the outside spaces in the development.

It takes real planning to reach this campground and lots of gas.

Wifi and cell service were only available at the North Rim Lodge which was the center of activity. However, the food at the Lodge was awful--- bring your own & cook your own.

The Cape Royal Road and Point Imperial are must-do. We did the road twice, 2 mornings in succession. A prettier forest is hard to imagine.

We planned our road trip a little late so there was only one night left here during the week we'd hoped to visit. The campground is very nice, huge spaces, nice walk to a view, and clean bathrooms. There was laundry, which we did not use, and showers, which we did use. Half the showers were out of order, very dirty, and cost a quarter a minute. That was the only drawback. It was a quiet spot that we would stay at again

Very peaceful & breathtaking views. The store has everything you could need.

The North Rim campground is great. The guy who checked us in was very helpful, the camp store had plenty of supplies and firewood, and the bathrooms were clean and well-lit. It is extremely quiet. Even at about 8:30 pm, you couldn’t hear the other campers (and the CG is full)! I would love to stay here again! Note: the showers and laundry are closed due to COVID-19.

Anyone interested in National Parks has the Grand Canyon on their list. But, I’ll admit, that it wasn’t one I prioritized.

It far exceeded my expectations, especially the North Rim and the campground associated with it. It’s a must see for anyone with a love for the outdoors. It’s stunning.

The campground itself was the best campground I’ve ever been to, at least for what it is trying to be.

This isn’t a rough-it campground. It has immaculate bathrooms with flush toilets, dish cleaning stations, a general store just a few hundred feet from campsites with virtually anything you would need from groceries to camping supplies, the sites are decently dispersed, and the staff is attentive and caring. The setting is beautiful. You are surrounded by pine tree forest at 8,000+ elevation. You can tent camp or RV camp. We tent camped.

For a camping experience that still feels like camping but has amenities too, this spot can’t be beat.

North Rim is the best and this campground makes it better. Far less traffic than the South Rim, although more difficult to get to. Sites are all pull-through, so getting in and out is easy. On site store with plenty of supplies. Multiple trails nearby, most within waking distance.

We didn't have a campground reservation, but there were plenty of available spots. Two trails lead to the lodge and visitors center along the north rim. Beautiful treed campground with quiet hours, generator free hours, bathrooms, showers and laundry. Lovely, just lovely.

Super clean bathrooms, drinking water, and right against the north rim of the Grand Canyon, great location!

Spacious and comfortable, not overly busy. WiFi available at the general store, but it’s usually very busy so not as useful as you might like. Was able to get cell service also at general store, and nearby at the village and on Bright Angel Trail. Showers clean and functional, laundry machines available.

Nearby to stunning views, conveniences, and short drives from amazing overlooks. Well worth the stay.

Just spent one night tent camping, but it was a wonderful experience.

Very beautiful campground on the north rim. Plenty of shops and trails to hit while you're here. Great views of the canyon. I believe they are only open during the spring to summer months. Only 10 percent of the annual Grand canyon visitors go to the north rim. Beautiful visitor center with very helpful park rangers. They're are quite a few trails that take you to different view points of the canyon which I will attach. If you choose to camp here ensure you reserve a spot a few months out as they usually fill up quickly. I made a reservation about 7 months in advance.

Spectacular scenery and way more intimate than the south rim.

Campsites came with picnic tables, fire pit, water nearby, and toilets. Shower and laundry near the camp store/ restaurant. Trail from my site to the north rim where I saw the most amazing sunset and views of the canyon. There is a second area to the North rim with cabins and a lodge where they put on star parties at night with folks from NASA giving fascinating talks on Mars and land rovers followed by dozens of telescope on the deck to view the cosmos.

Stayed for a single night in late June. There were severe fire restrictions on at the time so no campfires allowed. Sites were generously sized and spaced out. Lots of sites; large campground. VERY close to the Transept Canyon, a side canyon that feeds into the Grand Canyon. We will definitely visit this campground again.

VERY cool campground that is spread out through old growth pines and is within walking distance of The North Rim, which is by far the best side of the Gran Canyon! If you are lucky enough to be there during a thunderstorm, you'll get to listen to thunder roll through The Grand Canyon. :)

The Grand Canyon is one of my favorite places, and the North Rim has the view with less crowds than the South Rim. It is a longer drive, and more remote, and closes in the winter, but the peace and beauty is worth it. There are many rim view sites, and the campground is clean and neat. Flush toilets, pay showers, and a general store provide what you need. There are several small places to eat at the lodge, which is less than a mile hike or drive. The camp hosts are friendly, and the sites are wonderfully quiet at night. We have visited every year for 10 years, and plan to continue our tradition.

Amenities include shower and laundry. Quick access to little trails. Clean bathrooms. Nice tent pad. Spacious sites.

We loved our one night stay at this epic campground. We walked from the Campground over to the saloon and lodge for a beer and to explore. The campsite was absolutely amazing and the views were perfect. You can literally walk a few short steps and look down into the Freaking Grand Canyon!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 Just Wow!

The North Rim of the Grand Canyon is a beautiful area with all levels of hiking trails. It is only open May 15th to October 15th. Reservations are a must and should be made as soon into the season as you can. It fills quickly. The road is paved and the pull ins and throughs are also paved. The NPS website is the place to go for information. I went after the season was over, which means that the store, the Lodge and the one and only gas station are all closed. If you are riding a motorcycle take gas.

#77 was my scheduled site but someone was in it. The ranger was great and found me a different one right away.

Aabsolutely beautiful and well worth the drive. The north rim offers great trails, beautiful views, awesome dining, laundry room, showers, country store and less crowded then the south rim. I can't wait to go back!

Amazing place to camp! If you've seen the south rim it's time to venture to the less crowded forested North Rim! The camp grounds were well spread out, quiet, amazing staff, and clean restrooms, showers, and coin laundry. 1 mile hike to the lodge (you can also drive) - I've added a picture to the map. We were in 10, but I would reccomend any of the T (tent) sites - they were on their own peak with wonderful views - but the park has strict generator rules so it won't be loud even if you're next to an RV. Be prepared for a long drive in and a long touring drive to see all the views, it is amazing but a little harder to navigate. The staff at the visitors center is wonderful though and they'll help you see what you want to see.

Nice campground with abundant sites (reservable, which I recommend), clean bathrooms, and pay shower and laundry close by. More importantly, there are fewer people here at the North Rim, so you feel less claustrophobic. The camp sites have the typical fire rings and picnic tables and are clean and level and shaded by huge ponderosa pines (I think thats the right tree species). There is a nice trail that you can take from the campground along the rim to the visitors center (about 1.5 miles). Be sure to fill up on water before you go hiking (which is just a good idea in general) because then you can drink water that's piped up from Roaring Springs, inside the canyon. Pretty cool! It was cool, rainy, and overcast while I was here, but I didn't let that stop me from hiking. The trees did a great job of sheltering me from most of the rain.
