North Rim Campground (AZ)

About this spot

Overview The North Rim Campground is located on the remote and rustic North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park in northern Arizona, approximately 210 miles (338 km) from Grand Canyon Village, AZ on the South Rim. It is nestled in a thick ponderosa and aspen forest just on the canyon's edge at an elevation of 8,200 feet. • This facility is perfect for tent camping and smaller RVs. • Due to its heavily forested location, large and/or high-profile RVs cannot be accommodated. • The maximum length in each site description is the combined length of both the RV/trailer and tow vehicle. • Many sites are not level and have obstacles such as tight curves and narrow passages through trees. • Some sites may not accommodate trailer pop-outs or awnings. • The maximum vehicle length permitted on the Cape Royal Scenic Road, Widforss Trailhead, and North Kiabab Trailhead is 22 feet; plan accordingly if renting an RV if you wish to explore these other areas of the park. 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.
