Forest Road 611

Finding the campsites were a little difficult. You want to stay on 611 until you pass the parking lot and bathrooms. We got a spot on the right near the rim, it was very windy and chilly but the views made it worth it.

Very nice tranquil camping spot. We stayed here for two nights with our van when visiting the North Rim of Grand Canyon that's 10 minutes away.

Beautiful site with plenty of space from other campers. It was a beautiful view of the Grand Canyon and surrounding valley. Camped on the edge of a cliff (other sites where more family friendly). We enjoyed the site better than the actual park. A little out of the way but only about a 15 minute drive to the north rim entrance gate. First turn off of 67 headed south after the country store. Just keep headed strait on the dirt road. Don’t veir right. There are still sites down there but not nearly as pretty. Would 100% recommend to any Grand Canyon visitors or if you’re just looking for an amazing spot to stay for the night.

This site was stunning! Recommended by the Visitor Center!

We are here with a Camper van no 4WD and it was doable. Good gravel road, take it slowly and you will have no problems! Here we have 2 blocks LTE but most important… clear sky, fresh air, incredible overlook… we spontaneously stayed 2 nights than just one!

Got the last spot down. Need 4x4 to get to but had the best views.

Turn left onto forest road 611 as you head towards the north rim on 67. Stay with 611 and ignore Google Maps. About 5 arduous miles in you’ll see a parking lot and put toilet for Kaibab trailhead. Go another mile or so and you’ll start seeing spots. Spots on the right have a view overlooking the GC. Incredibly beautiful!

Negatives: rough gravel and dirt road (about 6 miles took us about 30-40 min in our converted ambulance and was rough going on the motorcycle too); mosquitos were treacherous starting at about 4:30 until dark. Positives: super private, stunningly beautiful. We stayed four nights and loved it. Attaching a photo of a forest service map with marked spots that was shared with us. Fewer spaces for big rigs but definitely plenty for everyone. We moved after the first night to a less shady spot for solar & Starlink but most spots were shady.

First time camping in area and was very pleased with options. Spots were along road, some on the rim others in the forest. There were various sizes and most could accommodate travel trailers. The area near the end of the road requires high clearance 4x4 to access and that area was the busiest. We chose the spot at the Y. It had a great view and plenty of room. No facilities. There was a vault toilet at trailhead a mile or two back down road. Plenty of fallen limbs and trees for firewood. AT&T cell service was spotty.

Took the road down pretty far and ended up seeing some great views. No service for AT&T, bathrooms and hiking spots about halfway down the road

Just turn off the main road onto FR-610 and follow along the washboard dirt road until you reach the turn off for 611. There are about 4 sites with fire pits before the road gets really rough. This seems like a great overnight spot as there were four or five arrivals in the night (including us.) It rained the night we arrived and the doom and gloom was definitely a damper but mostly it was a quiet and low-key spot.
