Pine trees shade the gravel sites at Kaibab Camper Village, a privately operated campground set just 0.07 miles off a paved highway in the Kaibab Plateau. The access road is smooth gravel. Sites vary in levelness, and several reviewers note that some spots are tighter than others, with rigs occasionally wedged at angles between trees and neighboring trailers. The hosts are consistently described as hands-on and helpful with backing in, which matters given how close the hookup sites sit to one another.
The campground runs from mid-May through mid-October and accommodates RVs up to 45 feet with full hookups, including electric, water, and sewer. Roughly 50 full-hookup sites are available, along with a separate area for dry camping and tent campers. Generators are restricted to 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. for dry campers. Showers are coin-operated at $2.25 for five minutes, with lockable private rooms. As Reese W. notes, the showers and port-a-potties with outdoor sinks were "super clean." Laundry is on-site. A market with essentials is nearby, with a gas station and grocery store a short drive down the road.
The campground's main draw is its position as the only full-hookup option within reasonable commuting distance of the Grand Canyon North Rim, roughly 40 to 45 miles away. ATV and dirt bike riders have access to off-road trails nearby. As Beth G. points out, "Jacob Lake is a pond, set your expectations accordingly." Wildlife along the drive to the rim includes deer and bison, particularly around twilight.
Crowding is a recurring theme in reviews, especially when large groups book the campground. Reservations are available and recommended, though campers have reported being assigned to smaller or differently positioned sites than expected. When the campground fills, Forest Road 246 Dispersed Camping sits less than a half-mile northwest, and Forest Road 461 Dispersed, Kaibab NF is just over half a mile east, both without the generator restrictions. The Jacob Lake Group Campground and Picnic Area is another nearby alternative for campers who prefer a Forest Service setting.
Description
Kaibab Camper Village offers the ultimate camping experience at the Grand Canyon North Rim. We're the only campground on the North Rim with full RV hookups, and we can even accommodate big rigs over 40 feet. We also have tent sites and one cabin-style room. The North Rim is off the beaten path, quiet and secluded. From Kaibab Camper Village it is only a 40 mile drive along the beautiful North Rim Parkway (State Route 67) to the Canyon rim. Our campground is nestled in tall pines, surrounded by the Kaibab National Forest and adjacent to Jacob Lake and a beautiful meadow. Unfortunately, Jacob Lake is actually a pond, and there is no swimming or fishing allowed. The nearby forest and Grand Canyon have great hiking and nature trails, and horseback riding is also available in the area. To learn more about the North Rim, you may want to attend the Forest Service's interpretive programs in their newly restored historic ranger cabin and stop by the Kaibab National Forest Visitor Information Center. Rates vary depending on site.
