    Jacob Lake, Arizona

    Overview

    Jacob Lake Recreation Area is conveniently located in Jacob Lake, Arizona, the gateway to the Grand Canyon's North Rim. The campground is nestled among the towering Ponderosa Pine trees of the North Kaibab National Forest, where ample opportunities to enjoy nature abound, from hiking and mountain biking to birding. Summer temperatures are pleasant during the day and nights are cool, while several feet of snow cover the landscape in winter. The campground closes each year by the end of October, though the national forest remains open.

    Recreation

    Grand Canyon National Park is a popular destination for campers staying at Jacob Lake Recreation Area. But from the campground itself, visitors can walk a pleasant one-mile loop trail, or take a 10 minute drive to the Kaibab Plateau Trail a section of the Arizona Trail, which runs north-to-south across the entire length of the state. The national forest also has a variety of mountain biking trails ranging from beginner to advanced levels. There is no fishing at Jacob Lake. Reservations for horseback riding and chuck wagon rides, as well as bike rentals, are available at Jacob Lake Inn across the street.

    Natural Features

    Jacob Lake is at an elevation of 7,920 feet. The Kaibab Plateau is an area uplifted by geologic processes, making it higher in elevation than the surrounding deserts (the closest town of Fredonia, Arizona is 28 miles away and nearly 4,700 feet). Many species of wildlife call the Kaibab home, including the tassel-eared Kaibab squirrel, found nowhere else in the world, and numerous species of birds. The nearby lake only fills up with water occasionally, but marsh areas along the edges of the lake are great bird habitats.

    Nearby Attractions

    The campground is 44 miles north of Grand Canyon National Park's rustic and less populated North Rim - home to abundant wildlife, hiking trails, spruce-fir and Ponderosa pine forests and unparalleled views of one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. Enjoy a visit to the North Rim from mid-May through mid-October; the road is closed during winter. Grand Canyon National Park>

    Lees Ferry Campground — Glen Canyon National Recreation Area

    A treasure!

    Very nice campground. Clean. Is as described---no electric or RV hookups. Most picnic tables have shade structures and there are privacy barriers between many of the campsites. There are flush toilets(!!) and bathroom has lighting. There are no showers. There is no soap but there was an air hand dryer. I see some complaints about the bathrooms but man, I am always delighted when there are clean(and these were) flush toilets after many, many campsites with pit toilets. The camp host said the bathrooms are cleaned every day.

    The river is right below the campsite. You can hear it at night (once the generators for the RVers go off). Be sure to check out the trails down by the Lees Ferry boat landing. We saw big horn sheep on the river trail. Close by in the other direction is Cathedral Wash trail. wow, wow, wow. It is challenging in that there are 3 points where one needs to climb down (then back up) a 30 ft drop in the wash. Lots of hikers on the trail. The walk down the wash is magical because as you descend you are going through the layers of sediment that you can see in the Vermillion Cliffs. Also, take time to check out Navajo Bridge Monument. The condors hang out on the bridge structures. You will be able to capture amazing pictures.

    Sooner Rocks Camp

    This was not easy, but very rewarding. Not for the faint of heart!

    We decided to take a trip and see Jacob Hamblin Arch. The best way for us to do that was to camp at Sooner Rock and repel down the canyon from Water Tanks. This place is amazing!!! The trip to get there was not easy! The road is VERY rough There are two washes that will make you question your life decisions, but you can make it with a little skill and some determination. I pulled a 21' travel trailer down Hole in the Rock Road with a half ton Chevy, the trip took 5hrs at 5-15mph depending on the road conditions. If you are faint of heart this one may not be for you. We saw a heard of cows and cowboys on the road that we literally had to wait for (there were hundreds of cows). The camping at Sooner is remote, silent, and very dark at night. We went in May and the cactus were in bloom. This is the most amazing place I have ever seen in my life (coming from someone who lives in Wisconsin). The sunrise and sunset are unlike anything I have ever seen. Its like being on different planet. The space at Sooner leaves plenty of room to camp and the access road while single track isn't too bad to navigate as its only a few hundred yards from Hole in the Rock Road. If you like an adventure this one is for you! 

    The name Sooner Rock comes from cowboys. The phrase is "I’d sooner be home than out in this forsaken region", which is exactly the opposite of how I felt!

    Incredible place

    We were traveling through and needed a place for the night. We pulled up to a spot where we could use the bunkhouse porch. The views from this ranch are amazing. The bathhouse was really cool—very creative. In fact, everything about this place is creative.

    The work the owner is doing here by rescuing horses, donkeys, and goats is so important. Anything we can do to help her cause, we should absolutely.

    Terrific spot

    We stayed here four nights while visiting Grand Canyon National Park. The site was spacious, well separated from other sites, level, and directly adjacent to a network of easy hiking trails that we took our dog on every day. Water nearby, clean vault toilets, and a very short hop across the highway for gas, food, and essentials. Hosts were very friendly.

    horrible winds -- needed jackhammer for stakes

    Worst imaginable experience.

    Staking in the tent was almost impossible. Apart from sharp gravel for a base, it nearly seemed like concrete to get a stake in. After bending four thick, steel stakes to barely get them in the ground, a gust of wind blew the tent and pulled all of the stakes out. 

    Not only is there zero option to request a refund, there is likely no recourse for paying me for wasting 1 1/2 hours at their site trying to set things up.

    Someone has to be the worst in the industry. Clearly, that's their goal and they achieved it.

    Loved this little spot

    You do not need 4-wheel drive to get to this parking area however I will say I was there in Aug 24’ and there was a lot of plant growth in the driving area to drive over. Nothing that would scratch my suv up but just noting in case someone decides to take a sedan back this way. I was the only one there and it was quiet and peaceful. I did get some service on AT&T but it wasn’t good for using the internet. Texting was fine.

    In Transition

    The campground map on their website indicated cable tv on some site, but they do no offer cable tv anymore.  The wifi was the worst I have ever experienced, got there at 3 PM and could not even open an email.  The park was just bought by an LLC and the on-site manager seems to have no authority as once I figured out the cable and wifi situation I requested a refund for my second night so we could move, but he could not make a decision until he talked to his manager the next morning.  I would definitely stay somewhere else until they can improve this location.  They have an indoor pool, but in early October is was closed for the season.  Why have an indoor if you close it that early?  We stayed here 2 years ago and it was better, but will not return again!

    Close to GC North Rim and very wooded

    Demotte was heavily wooded with fairly private sites. A variety of camping situations and equipment coexisted easily. The 15 min drive into Grand Canyon park was great (psssst cheaper gas inside of GC park than outside of it).
    Pit toilets, potable water, and picnic table and fire ring were all appreciated. No showers and no Verizon cell service at all. I’d stay there again! Just wish there were more amenities.

    Amazing gazing, go past gate!!!

    Omg, we woke up to some incredible views First off it was dark when we showed up so it was bit hard to find, the gate was closed and so we were not sure, but after reading some reviews, we decided to go past the gate and glad we did, drove past some rvs but they were a distance’s from each other, found a nice fire ring and parked for the night. It was windy so we didn’t do a fire. Since I didn’t have a real law of the land being dark.

    Took some cool night photos and went to bed, But I got up before dawn and could see the shadows of the beauty that would surround us. As the sun started coming she started revealing how breathtaking the view truly was

    Definitely worth the $14

    Such a fun site! Right on the beach with an incredible sunrise view. Lots of people but theres so much space there you can still spread out from everyone else. Only downside was the bathroom/shower building was closed for repairs. Cost is $14 if you have an America the Beautiful Pass, otherwise you need to pay an entrance fee to Glen Canyon Park as well

    ONE THING TO BE AWARE OF Can get pretty windy down there. Just with the way the ground inclines towards the water and with the canyon walls on either side it seems like this area can be a bit if a wind tunnel. There was absolutely no wind in Page the day we stayed however in this area it was pretty windy, like night and day. The wind did die down after a few hours though and then it was perfect!

    Easy on, easy off, big open sites

    The site was really easy to get to, right off the road. We ended up taking the first available campsite and it’s really nice big wide open area with an established fire pit. You can hear some road traffic but it’s sporadic. Two other vehicles passed us looking for campsites one was a bigger RV and the other was an SUV. Neither one came back down so they must’ve found a spot.

    Small spaces, not dog friendly!

    We requested an available space on the map when making reservation. Even though it was vacant, we were squeezed into a smaller space with our picnic table seated next to our neighbors sewer drain hose.. yuck!! 

    Our dog (labradoodle-on a leash), got excited and barked a bit when the very close neighbors arrived at their trailer after being gone. We immediately began calming, and quieting her. We realize nobody enjoys a barking dog. The man camp host ran over to our site, and started yelling at us to get that barking dog inside our trailer.. what? We told him we were taking care of it, but his aggressiveness now really had our dog barking, because we all felt threatened. We took her inside, and left a day early, even though we had already paid for this anything but relaxing experience. We won’t be back!
