About this park

North Rim Campground is shaded by large ponderosa pines interspersed with aspens which turn golden in the autumn as it is situated at over 8,000 feet (2438 m) in elevation. However, it only takes a short walk to peer over the canyon rim to see millions of years of geologic history. The North Rim lies on the Kaibab Plateau, an area that has been uplifted by geologic processes. Many species of wildlife call the Kaibab Plateau home including the tassel-eared Kaibab squirrel which is found nowhere else in the world.

Recreation
Situated right along the canyon's edge, campers can access most of the North Rim's scenic spots and amenities on foot. The Bridle Path, a foot/bike/stock use trail, gives visitors access to both the Grand Canyon Lodge and Visitor Center area as well as the North Kaibab Trailhead. The Transept Trail (foot only, no dogs allowed) is a great alternate route to the Grand Canyon Lodge and Visitor Center as it hugs the canyon rim and offers spectacular views. If visitors have a longer stay at North Rim, the Cape Royal Scenic Drive is a wonderful scenic drive with additional hiking opportunities. But do note, the maximum vehicle length permitted on the Cape Royal Scenic Road is 22 feet; plan accordingly if renting an RV if you wish to explore these other areas of the park.

Facilities: Campground: There is a standard campground that can accommodate both tent and RV camping. There is also a tent-only campground and a group tent-only campground that does not permit RVs of any kind. This facility is perfect for tent camping and smaller RVs. Large and/or high-profile RVs cannot be accommodated due to the campground's thickly forested location. Many sites are not level and have obstacles such as tight curves and narrow trees. Some sites may not accommodate trailer pop-outs or awnings. Each campsite has a picnic table and campfire ring with a cooking grill. Group sites have 2 picnic tables and 2 campfire rings with cooking grills each. Water spigots and restrooms with flush toilets and sinks are located throughout the main campground. The tent-only section has a vault toilet nearby, but tent campers are welcome to use the other facilities. Visitor Services: The North Rim Visitor Center and Grand Canyon Lodge are located 1 mile (1.6 km) south of the campground. The Grand Canyon Lodge (concessionaire) operates the campground General Store, showers/laundry facility, and gas station. During park-wide water restrictions, the showers/laundry facility may be closed to conserve water. The Grand Canyon Lodge offers sit-down and grab-and-go food services everyday through October 15th.
Directions: North Rim Campground is 210 miles (338 km), approximately a 4.5 hour drive, from Grand Canyon Village on the South Rim. This facility is located at the end of State Highway 67, about 41 miles (66 km) south of Jacob Lake, AZ, 87 miles (140 km) south of Kanab, UT, and 120 miles (193 km) southwest of Page, AZ. Highway 67 is the only road into and out of the North Rim. There is no access by road directly across the canyon to the other canyon rim. From State Highway 89A, take Highway 67 south for 30 miles (48 km) to the Grand Canyon North Rim Entrance Station. The North Rim Campground is located about 11.5 miles (18.5 km) further.
