North Rim Campground (AZ)
Hosted by National Park Service
New listing
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 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, and 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 Kaibab Trailhead is 22 feet — plan accordingly if renting an RV and you wish to explore those other areas of the park. The campground reopens Monday, June 1, 2026. Fire restrictions are in effect: for visitor safety and to protect the park, all wood burning and charcoal fires are prohibited, including campfires, warming fires and charcoal barbecues. Potable water is not available at the campground but is available for purchase at the nearby General Store, portable toilets are available for visitor use throughout the campground, and campground showers and laundry facilities remain closed for the 2026 season. 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 and the North Kaibab Trailhead. The Transept Trail (foot only, no dogs allowed) is a great alternate route to the lodge and visitor center as it hugs the canyon rim and offers spectacular views. For a longer stay, the Cape Royal Scenic Drive is a wonderful drive with additional hiking opportunities. The campground is shaded by large ponderosa pines interspersed with aspens which turn golden in the autumn, and it only takes a short walk to peer over the canyon rim and 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 plateau home, including the tassel-eared Kaibab squirrel, which is found nowhere else in the world.
