Tent camped at the campground. Tent areas are spacious, shaded, and offer "pull through" for your car. Restrooms are clean, wash sinks and potable water available. Very limited cell service. Camping areas are very quite, amazing views of the stars at night. Definitely pack bug spray! Stayed the first week of October, right before the season ends - temperature was perfect. Aspens were just turning so the drive in was super pretty. Saw lots of deer, foxes, ground squirrels. I recommend booking way in advance for tent sites as this is a very popular area. Camp store has coffee, wine/beer, snacks, ice, firewood, and other camping supplies for sale. Laundry and showers are available but you must pay for them. Showers are coin operated. North rim offers stunning views of the Grand canyon and has several handicap/ stroller compatible trails that are short walks and paved. Again, cannot stress how amazing the views are - not specifically from the campground; but the surrounding area and lodge.
It is quiet and less crowded compared to the ‘Disneyland’ type crowd in the south rim. There’s only one campsite inside the park which makes it better compared to two in the south rim and one massive campsite (Mather) where it is a zoo. The market is also close to the campsite. The tent-only site has no RV which is nice.
Rv spots not bad, but if your expecting to find a great view of the Grand Canyon, it's disappointing. Don't waste your time if you really want to see the best of the Geand Canyon, go to the south side!!!
What an amazing location for a campsite. Pitched our tent just a few metres from the edge of the Grand Canyon. Lots of open space among the trees and beautiful trails leading right out of the campsite. Be sure also to enjoy the meadows and forests north of the Grand Canyon!
Campground is pretty good, but while Class A’s 40 foot and under will fit in some of the spots, most of them, including our 39 footer do not fit through the dump station or the water. Very convenient if you are doing rim to rim.
