North campground was a great find!

We got to the campground early and found a decent site. This is a first come first serve campground. Check it out before going to the Sunset campground.

Quiet and close to everything

The quietest national park campground we’ve been in. Smaller sites with little privacy or shade. Enjoyed the tent only loops.

Nice clean park camp.

This is the normal campground inside a national park...Definitely not dispersed. It was very clean and well kept. Campsites were average for what it is. We have a truck camper & used loop B, site 48- we were the only campers in the loop at this time, the campground was fairly empty mid July, (loop A, the larger RV area was the most populated) . Generators are allowed in this loop at certain times. I prefer a more remote or dispersed camp but this was inside the park & easy to hike Bryce in the morning. It worked for us but I would think if it was full there wouldn't be much privacy in most spots.

Awesome Campground!

We did not expect to find a site at Bryce Canyon, but hit the jackpot with a wonderful FCFS pull-through site in the North Campground.  The sites are tucked into cozy piney woods that belies the massive red, rocky hoodoos just a few yards away in the amphitheater.  It was our first dry camp experience, but they had wonderful bathroom facilities just a short walk away that were immaculately clean. It's a quiet, relaxing setting listening to the wind rustle through the trees. The temp during the day was around 70 in mid-June and it dipped into the high 40s at night which made the experience of no electricity cozy and cuddly. Just a short walk away, you can access the breath-taking amphitheater. We have never seen anything like it! The whole Bryce Canyon experience was a bucket-list check. As a disabled person, we found the campground and park so accommodating. The Scenic Drive afforded many dynamic viewpoints that only required a few steps to get the full experience. The camp hosts were particularly helpful during our stay and generator use was allowed at two different 2-hour periods. There was an unfortunate family dispute that happened in a neighboring RV that was peacefully handled with a quick full response from the park staff. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED CAMPGROUND! Be aware that there are two rock arches on the road you must go through to enter Bryce Canyon. They say the clearance is 13' 5", but I think that must be referring to the lower portion of the arch since we cleared it by several feet. It may be necessary for some rigs to occupy the center of the road, however, so double check on this before planning on staying at the Bryce Canyon campgrounds. There are other private campgrounds available closeby that do not require the RV to go under those arches.

Nicely spaced

It’s true that they are full by noon! We arrived at 2pm and the whole place was full, so we got a hotel room in town and went back at 9am the next morning and got a wonderful spot in the tent only loop. Spots are nicely spaced and you don’t feel like you eavesdropping on your neighbors conversations. Flush toilets, but no showers in this loop. Fire rings, mostly level places for tents, picnic tables that are easy to move and space to park your car.

Lucky to get a small spot

The campsites are very close together and ours was very small and right next to restroom, yet we were relieved to even get a spot at all, so we got one of the least desirable. We felt like we were camping with our neighbors. Paved roads. Bathroom clean. Sites have table and fire pit. Walk down to shuttle stop by visitors center, or over to rim trail access.

AMAZING

This quickly became one of our favorite campgrounds. It’s right next to the canyon so you can walk for about 2 min to get to a beautiful view. There is a utility sink which always makes life easier and really great bathrooms. There are also coin-operated showers and laundry at the general store which is wonderful if you’re getting a bit stinky.

Get here early and bring cash to pay for your site

The North campground is located inside Bryce Canyon National Park and is first come, first serve only. This is an excellent, clean site to stay if you’re going to spend your day exploring the park. I highly recommend getting here very early in the morning (check-out time is 11:30 am) to grab a spot or you may find yourself scrambling for a site outside the park. Bring cash to pay for your site ($20 for tents/cars). Every site has a very nice fire pit with grill grate and clean bathrooms nearby (with heat!)

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.

Large campsite area with 101 campsites. I believe loop A is for RV's only? There are loops B,C & D for tents. Campsites are spacious and you do not feel like your neighbors are right up against you. I would absolutely camp here again. Trails are nearby. Flush toilets, potable water, picnic tables and fire rings.

Easy to find a place!

First come first serve site but on the Thursday morning before Labor Day weekend we had no trouble finding a spot. Site is really close to a general store and trailheads and great to easily walk to see a sunrise/sunset. Sites are kind of close to each other so not a ton of privacy and rocky so we had trouble staking our tent. But bathrooms were very clean!

This is amazing!!

This was my first time camping at this campground. There was snow everywhere, and quite a few available spaces. The spaces are decently far apart, and the bathroom facilities are warm and clean. (Theres warm water from the faucets and the toilets flush). This place is like a winter wonderland if you come during or after a snowfall. Breathtakingly beautiful.

This is a great campground

This is a very nice campground.  Most of the sites have shade.  2 of the loops are tents only, which is where we stayed.  Right now, this is the only campground open in the park.  The other one (Sunset) is closed for repairs.  The campground filled up by noon on most of the days, though we left on a Sunday and it was pretty empty at 10:30 am.   I would recommend getting to the campground between 9:30 am and 11:00 am to find a site, then pitch your tent or set out chairs!  This is reduce any confusion as to whether the site has been registered and paid for.  Also, grab a registration envelope as you enter the campground, so once you have pitched your tent or set out chairs, you can pay as you leave to go explore the park.  This is in walking distance to the General Store and the Visitor Center.  The park has a shuttle that helps to get around the park.  Lastly, the General Store has showers ($3 for 8 minutes)

Bryce Canyon camping

We loved Bryce! This campground was huge! With so much close by this campground was hard to pass up, we visited the queens garden trail which was spectacular but super super crowded. The visitor center was also really nice, be sure to pick up your Junior ranger book on your way into the park if you have kiddos. The book gives them a chance to learn and earn a nifty Junior ranger badge by completing age appropriate tasks along their journey. There was a Market inside of Zion that had everything for hiking, hydration and camping galore. I would highly recommend making your reservations 2 weeks ahead of time the campgrounds fill up fast during the peak season. Overall great experience!

My Favorite Park, Get Close to The Rim

Bryce Canyon is my favorite place in the world. There are no words the do it justice. If you have not seen those rock hoodoo's in person that seem to emit their own glow, you just have to do it!

A great place to camp while you are there is the North Campground. Our van fit in one of the tent loops (<20ft long) which happens to be right along the Rim Trail with peek-a-boo views of the hoodoos. From our site on Loop C we could hop on the Rim Trail, stop at the General Store for a snack, keep going to Sunrise Point, and hike the Navajo Loop/Queen's Garden Trail. So nice to be able to park the van and forget it. We were able to catch sunset and sunrise just by walking out of our site and over to the edge.

Everything was first come, first serve. We got to Bryce Canyon early in the morning and started driving loops looking for paper slips on posts. If the post was empty, the site was open. Tent site was $20. Each site had a picnic table and fire pit, wood available for purchase at the General Store. Water spigots were centrally located and bathrooms were standard flush toilet, running water, tiny sink. Hardly any privacy between sites, at least in loop C, but I find that's the norm in National Parks.

Surrounded by trees.

This is a self check in campsite, you need to go find your spot then go back to the entrance and pay for your spot. Make sure you get all your tags right. We endedicated up picking the perfect spot were we can see straight up to the universe. That night there was a meteor shower, just amazing. We ended up making new friends, enjoying the long weekend and having a great time. I truly recommend hiking pick a boo trail. Take plenty of water and be prepared to make several stops to be able to enjoy the scenery. Can't wait to do it again.

Great Campground!

Great place to stay! Perfect location. Walking distance to Sunrise and Sunset Points. The nicest bathrooms I've ever seen in a campground. :) Quiet. Lots of trees and shade. There was a fire ban and we ended up getting rained out but we still loved our trip to Bryce. Late summer is the rainy season but late spring and early fall would probably be the best times to go without worry about lightning up on the canyon ledges.

BEAUTIFUL!

This campground is by far the best in the park! You are only a 5 minute max walk from the beautiful rim trail no matter where you're at in the campground, which is amazing for an early hike to watch the sunrise! Most people only spend one day there so the site turnover is quick but your chances of a spot after 3pm are slim. The earlier you get there the better your chances are for getting a site and possibly a really good site! There is lots of big beautiful trees for shade, nice fire pits with a grill, picnic table, running water restrooms & utility sink for dish washing. The only downside and why I didn't give them a 6 star rating is the fact that you can't hang anything from the trees. No hammocks, clothes lines, trash bags etc. This is new this year and I really hope it doesn't stick. The campsite host comes by way too often (every half an hour) which got old as well.
