North Campground — Bryce Canyon National Park

Just a few steps from the canyon rim!

I’be stayed here for the past few days and have loved it!

While this is a first come, first serve campground, the sites generally fill up later in the morning/ early afternoon. I’ve been to campgrounds where you have to be there by like 7 am to claim a spot, but this seems a little more lax. That being said, the spots have filled up every night, so if you arrive later in the afternoon or early evening, you will most likely come up empty handed.

I stayed in Loop D, where vehicles over 20 feet are not allowed, so it’s great for tent camping! There is a bathroom facility within the loop, but it only has one sink and no soap provided. I’ve not run into a traffic jam at “prime teeth brushing time,” but just a heads up. There are several water spigots around the loop and a dish washing sink outside of the bathroom.

The fire rings are really nice here and the picnic tables are metal, which makes for easy sanitization.

The camp store within the park is great for basic necessities, but lacks in the “real food” department, as does the local store in town (Ruby’s), so I would suggest stocking up on food before arriving.

There is a trail right at the entrance to Loop D that will take you to the Rim Trail. Once you’re on Rim, it’s .25 miles to the Tower Bridge Trail and .5 miles to Sunrise Point.

Just a head’s up that if you’re planning to check out Sunset Campground if North Campground is full: Sunset is pretty much reservations only. You might luck out and get something, but I drove through and even talked to the camp host and they were booked solid with reservations for weeks to come.
