ScoutBeautiful but small FCFS campground. Do your research on which Black Canyon Park campground you’d prefer before starting your drive, as the east and north campgrounds are at least an hour and 45 minutes apart.
The North Rim campground was pretty and quiet. I arrived right at 1 to make sure I could get a spot the Friday of Father’s Day weekend. By 5:30, all the spots were full and were full earlier the following night, so be sure to arrive early. Cool drinking water access was a nice surprise, and there are bear boxes for each site as well as two clean vault toilets and a dumpster. There is (limited) WiFi at the ranger station but zero service anywhere in the park or campground, so plan ahead.
The campground is down a long dirt road, it was well maintained but be prepared to be in a remote location.
ScoutCozy campground with tent spots nestled in between the Junipers. Cleanest bathrooms I have seen at a campground. Potable water. Charcoal grills (no wood fires). Amazing views.
ScoutSo many spots along this road! Beautiful views. A little hot because it’s not shaded
GuideThis place was beautiful! It really felt like the wild west. The road was well kept and any vehicle could make it. There were so many amazing spots. We also had 1 bar of 5G using t-mobile. It would have been 5 stars if there weren’t so many nats! bring some good bug repellent and it would be perfect. The bugs went away at night which allowed for good stargazing. make sure to look up fire warnings!
ScoutNot the best or the worst.
Nice level spot to park. The noise from the nearby freeway isn't too objectionable. I like the cover for the picnic table.
The bathrooms are a little dirty and there are tons of bugs here.
Otherwise it was good and I'd stay here again.
TravelerThis was my first time emptying my gray water tank and filling my water tank. The manager Thomas couldn’t have been more helpful!!!
ScoutQuiet camp ground, very clean facilities. Gorgeous views within campground. Once rigs are setup on outter rim you lose your views. Sites are fairly close together. Hot in afternoon and evening, very little shade.
TravelerThere’s a certain ancient tranquility that settles over you when you step into nature’s embrace. The rustling leaves whisper wisdom from centuries past, the celestial dance above realigns your soul to the rhythms of the universe. My ancestors—probably nomadic stargazers or at least really good at making fire—would surely be proud.
Just kidding! It was simply an amazing campsite after a day of adventures, and if my ancestors were here, they'd be arguing over who gets the best spot near the fire.
ScoutThis camp site is efficient:) they picked up my phone call at 9pm with plenty rv lots available.
