Kaibab National Forest Kaibab Lake Campground

Addendum: very annoying meat eating bees invaded while cooking dinner. Had to walk around to avoid bee entering mouth while eating. And putting away washed dishes was a challenge to keep none from entering storage bag. Otherwise the ospreys were awesome. In site B19 mid week just after Labor Day. It is quiet. Many if not most sites in B loop are reserved for tonight and following nights. Osprey, raven, great blue heron and other birds near the lake. Lake is down about 10 feet from high water mark. No swimming, just fishing and paddle craft. Sites are fairly level and paved. Distance between sites is about 100 feet in fairly dense pine forest. Outhouses are clean. Drinking water spigots. About mid 80 degree temperature. Very nice compared to the 110 deg F we had driving here from California. Has boat launch ramp, fishing dock, amphitheater. Just a couple of miles from I40.

Simply the best area to camp, right off Route 66 Williams! The forest is beautiful, so keep it clean!

This is a nice dry campground. There is drinking water available, as well as vault toilets. The toilets have a smell that can be annoying. The lake is pretty and all sites seem to have decent views of it. The campground is close to area activities, however nice enough to stay at exclusively.

I loved this campground! You can see the lake from most sites. There are plenty of small walks you take to explore. The sites are well shaded and nicely separated. There is water to fill your jug that is drinkable. The toilets are vault and can have a chemical/porta potty smell if people don’t shut the bathroom door. I went during the week and found it lightly filled. I drive a 19 foot RV van which backed up easily with a lot of room to spare. There are no hook ups here.

There is a tent only area with five spots. Two of them are first come first serve, so I lucked out on a late Saturday morning and grabbed one. The area is very clean, paved roads, concrete picnic tables, tent pads and campground hosts that are out and about pretty much the whole day and very accessible.

Very nice, well kept area. We stayed in the tent only section. They did not have tent pads but was still comfortable.

Camping in the time of COVID-19 changes things.  The CG hosts were friendly, however, and campers kept their distance.  Vault toilet was clean and sites were comfortably spaced apart.  Most sites are in a fairly open pine forest.  Our loop had more RVs than anything else, but everyone observed quiet hours.  It would have been wholly peaceful, but SR-64, which heads north to Grand Canyon Village, lies only 400 yards to the east and carries traffic all night long, if sporadically.  Maybe in an RV you wouldn't notice, but we were tent camping and were awakened several times by larger vehicles.  Still, the meadows surrounding the campground were (in early June) thick with wildflowers.

Stayed here on my way to the Grand Canyon and it was a nice spot overall. Plenty of trees for hammock hanging and a spacious site with friendly hosts. Little hikes lead me to quite a few small scale wildlife encounters that I really enjoyed

This is a childhood favorite and now one of our family’s favorites. Great place to escape the heat of the valley. The campground has many spots to reserve and also many walk up. The lake is stocked with trout throughout the summer. Bathrooms available and water. No hookups.

Primitive camping in beautiful, cool Arizona forest.  Most campsites offer a lot of privacy.  Dirt roads are a bit rough, so SLOW is an important word!
