PLEASE BE ADVISED: Reservation and walk-in fees for Ten-X Campground have been increased according to the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act. The Kaibab National Forest invited public comment during the 2019 season and went before the Arizona BLM Resource Advisory Council on November 14th, 2019 to get proposed fees approved. Fees for both standard and group sites will be raised for the 2020 peak season beginning on May 1st, 2020. 95% of the fees generated at Ten-X Campground are retained on the local unit and reinvested to support recreational opportunities in the area. Most of the fee dollars from Ten-X will go to expansion of the campground and the amenities provided there. COMMERCIAL TOUR GROUPS ARE NOT ALLOWED AT TEN-X CAMPGROUND Commercial operators MUST obtain a special use permit to operate on National Forest System lands, including Ten-X Campground. Due to high public demand, Kaibab National Forest will not be issuing any special use permits for Ten-X Camground until further notice. Therefore, no commercial tour groups are allowed at Ten-X Campground. All violators will be removed from the campground immediately and given a fine for violating the Code of Federal Regulations. Perhaps the biggest draw to Ten-X Campground in northern Arizona is its proximity to the South Rim of Grand Canyon National Park. Located just 4 miles south of the park entrance in beautiful Kaibab National Forest, Ten-X is a quiet, peaceful campground that generally has open camping sites. A nature trail weaves its way through the pine forest, and many more hiking opportunities are within a short drive.

Recreation The campground has a short nature hike that allows visitors to view local flora and fauna. Elsewhere, the nearby town of Tusayan offers horseback riding, helicopter rides and other tours.

Facilities The facility is attractive, well-maintained and spacious. There are 70 single-unit campsites organized in a large loop, each accommodating up to eight people maximum. Each campsite accomodates one vehicle only. Additional vehicles can be accomodated in certain sites, but are subject to a $5/night fee. Single-family sites 5-13 are non-reservable and only available on a first-come, first-served basis. All other sites are reservable. Sites are comfortable with bathrooms, water and paved parking nearby. There are also two group sites. Group Site A accommodates up to 75 people. Group Site B accommodates up to 50 people. Groups larger than 75 people can reserve both Group Sites A and B. The group sites have picnic shelters, tables and tent pads. Due to limited water supply drinking hydrants are the only water available.

## Overview

Kaibab National Forest limits reservation availability at Hull Cabin.

The Kaibab National Forest is limiting available reservations at Hull Cabin to one group per weekend. Available nights to book are Friday, Saturday, and Sunday with a minimum stay of 2 nights. Forest officials determined that this would be the best way to allow for reservations while ensuring full and adequate cleaning between groups. The Kaibab National Forest will reassess the situation as the safety risk to the public declines due to Covid-19. 

Located just steps away from the world-famous Grand Canyon National Park, Hull Cabin is the oldest historic structure in the area. It provides a variety of amenities, as well as access to multiple recreational activities within the Tusayan Ranger District of the Kaibab National Forest. Visitors enjoy miles of trails, fishing at the nearby tanks, sightseeing and viewing the region's abundant wildlife.  
  
The cabin can be accessed by vehicle. A portion of the roadway is graded gravel, requiring slower speeds. Guests are responsible for their own travel arrangements and safety, and must bring several of their own amenities.

## Recreation

With miles upon miles of national forest and park lands to explore, visitors have no shortage of outdoor activities from which to choose. Hiking, horseback riding and mountain biking are available on an 800-mile segment of the Arizona Trail, as well as within Grand Canyon National Park.   
  
Fishing can usually be accessed at nearby Russell Tank during an average or high water season. The small Hull Tank, located near the cabin, is a prime watering hole for wildlife such as elk, mule deer, wild turkey, javelina and numerous birds and raptors. Lucky visitors may even have the chance to spot an endangered California condor.

## Facilities

The cabin sleeps up to six people. It consists of a bedroom, living room and a fully equipped kitchen. The bedroom has two sets of twin-sized bunk beds, and there is one queen-sized futon in the living room. Kitchen supplies include indoor plumbing (water is hauled to the site), an oven, stove, refrigerator with freezer, dishes, utensils, pots, pans and some cleaning supplies.   
  
A separate shower house is located just outside the cabin and contains a vault toilet and two shower stalls with solar shower attachments ([click here](http://www.fs.usda.gov/wps/portal/fsinternet/!ut/p/c4/04_SB8K8xLLM9MSSzPy8xBz9CP0os3gDfxMDT8MwRydLA1cj72BTJw8jAwjQL8shd123VAQAzHJMsQ!!/?actid=101&cid=FSE_003705&navid=110130000000000&navtype=BROWSEBYSUBJECT&pname=Kaibab+National+Forest+-+Hull+Cabin&pnavid=110000000000000&position=BROWSEBYSUBJECT&recid=16849&ss=110307&ttype=recarea) for more cabin details).   
  
Guests must bring their own food, bedding (sheets, blankets, pillows and/or sleeping bags), towels for the bathroom and kitchen, garbage bags, warm clothing, dish soap, flashlights and an axe for splitting wood for the outdoor fire pit. Visitors must bring their own solar-shower bladder bags for use of the outdoor shower.

## Natural Features

The cabin sits in a secluded meadow surrounded by a stand of old growth ponderosa pine trees, at an elevation of 6,500 feet. The location provides easy access to Grandview Lookout Tower, which offers 360-degree views of the canyon and surrounding forest.   
  
The building originated as a one-room homestead, constructed by the Hull family in the late 1880s with hand-hewn logs. It was acquired by the U.S. Forest Service in 1907 for use as a ranger station. In 1985, the cabin was listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Summer temperatures on the South Rim are relatively pleasant, but weather can be unpredictable. Visitors should come prepared for changeable mountain weather, cold nights, thunderstorms or even snow. 

## Nearby Attractions

Grand Canyon National Park's South Rim is a must-see for visitors and is located just a mile away. The South Rim is the most accessible part of the park and is open all year. The nearby town of Tusayan also offers restaurants, hotels, gift shops, a general store and various tours.

Ponderosa Pines in Kaibab National Forest. 

Saw at least a dozen bigger rigs with better backing skills than us tucked away from the road. 

Lovely to see trees after 2 months  of desert. Had cows fairly close, deer in the distance. Lots of birds.


Verizon 1-2 bars, ATT showed 1 bar but was unusable. This was fairly close to the entrance with no booster.


Grounds reasonably clean, I've  seen worse. 2 grocery bags over 14 days of broken glass, nails, plastic, used foil, beer caps, shell casings etc on my walks.

Several spots have nice firepits.

There is some road noise, but not bad.


Close to GCNP &amp; free. If you have a pass, use the left lane for quicker entry.


Restaurants &amp; groceries  in the area are at tourist prices, bring what you need or be prepared for sticker shock.


Propane is available at the RV park just past the general store. 

We refilled water jugs inside the park at their Spring Water stations each time we went. Laundry at Mather Campground. 


Definitely do Desert View Drive while in the area. Gorgeous views &amp; able to get away from the masses at Grand Canyon Village.

Would stay again if in the area.


If coming in late for longer than 1-2nts. Take the 1st spot you can fit into &amp; scout out the next morning. Lots of car/van campers were just here for the night, and there are many easy spaces tucked back from the road that are hard to see from the road when towing. We parked just off the road near the entrance and grabbed a great spot 48hrs later when some neighbors left.

Perfect spot, secluded full of trees isolated. Super easy to pull RV winter camping beauty.
