Turn left onto forest road 611 as you head towards the north rim on 67. Stay with 611 and ignore Google Maps. About 5 arduous miles in you’ll see a parking lot and put toilet for Kaibab trailhead. Go another mile or so and you’ll start seeing spots. Spots on the right have a view overlooking the GC. Incredibly beautiful!
Negatives: rough gravel and dirt road (about 6 miles took us about 30-40 min in our converted ambulance and was rough going on the motorcycle too); mosquitos were treacherous starting at about 4:30 until dark. Positives: super private, stunningly beautiful. We stayed four nights and loved it. Attaching a photo of a forest service map with marked spots that was shared with us. Fewer spaces for big rigs but definitely plenty for everyone. We moved after the first night to a less shady spot for solar & Starlink but most spots were shady.
Turn left onto Forest Road 328 as you’re headed toward the south rim entrance and drive down a bumpy dirt road about 1/4 mile, cross over the cattle guard and then you’ll find tons of established sites many with rings and fire pits. We stayed five nights at the first ringed site on the right. So easy to park our converted ambulance and motorcycle into the park each day. A little dusty and we often had folks show up to share our area after dark because we were so close to the road but sites go back for miles if you want more privacy. From the turn off to the entrance station is 0.7 miles so if you don’t get going before 9:30 or after 4 you may have a hard time turning into the park because the line will go past the road. No amenities but just a fantastic location for exploring GCNP.
