The Best Camping Near Jacob Lake, Arizona

This is FS road #205/225 and is the access to an Arizona Trailhead. The FS road is very good graded gravely and runs along a wide flat forested ridge. Dispersed camp sites are scattered along this main road and down open FS spur roads. Nite that FS rules note that dispersed camping needs to be 1 mile away from developed recreation sites on open FS roads per the MVUM (https://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/kaibab/maps-pubs/?cid=fseprd490027) but not sure if the Arizona Trailhead counts...there are several great camps within first mile on this FS road.  Cell signal is mixed and dependent on your provider and line of sight to Jacob lake area. Verizon and Tmobile worked for me, but my att phone did not.  This area is about 7 miles south on hwy 67 from Jacob lake on way to the GC north rim. The nonmotorized Arizona Trail is adjacent to the FS road and runs close to many of the dispersed sites, so this area is great if you want to hike or mt bike the trail.

Great dispersed camping

This site offers dispersed camping along forest road with drive up sites. The site had a fire ring and was near a trail that offered about a 15 minute walk (or 3 minute drive from the road we came in on) to a vault toliet bathroom. There were a few other campers in RV's and camper shells but we never heard or saw them from our site since the sites were so widely spaced. If you like a private spot under the stars and surrounded by large pines then this is for you. 

Nice secluded spot in the woods

Stayed for one night after visiting Grand Canyon, beautiful view and lovely clean toilet.
