Great campground - clean and very well maintained. Nice large spaces. Hosts Sharon and Russ were great - helpful and friendly. Watch for the kaibab squirrels - very beautiful with white tails and dark gray bodies. The 24s
Clean, isolated camp area with large campsites, potable water and clean restrooms. Lots of rvs, trailers and tent campers. Also pet friendly for leashed friends. Definitely a beautiful place to stay and explore. Check out the amphitheater too! Wander into the woods and enjoy breathing in some fresh nature.
We stayed here for 2 nights in late-May 2024 and used it as a base to visit the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. It was an easy, early morning, 45 mile drive to the North Rim. It is a nice US Forest Service campground. We were happy to have reserved site #45 for our camper-van, as the campground was pretty full. The site’s gravel driveway was flat. The campground is near the highway, but there was not much traffic noise at night. The vault toilet was very clean and well-stocked. Highly recommended!
We stayed here between visiting the Grand Canyon and Bryce Canyon. It’s one of the nicer campgrounds I’ve stayed at. The staff were helpful and friendly, and there were several campsites available when we visited in early June. The campsites have a picnic table and a fire pit with a grill. The bathrooms were easily the cleanest I’ve seen at any campsite, and other campers were respectful of the noise & light rules. The camp store and gas station are a minute a way, have any supplies you’d need for a night of camping.
This National Forest is maintained by a contractor and they do a wonderful job of keeping it clean and tidy. The bathrooms were the cleanest I have ever seen and the host provide a jug of hand sanitizer right outside the door. There is absolutely no garbage anywhere in the CG. And all the sites are level. We paid $13 for a night with our access pass.
