Jacob Lake Campground - Kaibab National Forest

Cleanest Campground Ever!

We stayed here with our travel trailer in a FF first come/first serve site for 2 nights to explore North Rim area (visitor center and lodge are about 45 miles or, a one hour drive, south). This was a last minute excursion for us, and everything closer to the Rim was full- Jacob Lake having FF sites saved our bacon! The hosts were delightful and it was, in all seriousness, the cleanest campground we have ever stayed in. Their maintenance person took pride in his work, was constantly cleaning/refreshing things, and had the vault toilets immaculate (like eat off the floor clean- really!) We had never seen such well maintained facilities staying in a primitive site. There is some road noise because of proximity to the 89A, but it didn’t bother us. Great diner food is available at Jacob Lake Inn (walking distance across 89A with a Chevron station next door.) The hosts recommended the cookies from the inn… Do NOT skip these- a delicious treat! The “chocolate parfait” were our favorite, and our host favored the “cookie on a cloud.” All delightful. Nearby- If you aren’t afraid of heights, check out the Jacob Lake Lookout Tower only a couple miles south on the 67.
