Spent 3 nights and was very happy. Campground was very clean and bathrooms well maintained. A Camp host was always available and they were visible throughout the grounds during the day. Camp store well stocked! The only bummer is that their ice delivery for the week didn't make it so we had to drive out to DeMotte to get ice daily. While it wasn't planned, it provided the opportunity to enjoy the beauty of the North Rim even more.

For starters, try your best to get here in the daylight. Due to unforeseen circumstances, we arrived after dark, and while normally not a problem, this campground is in complete darkness and signage isn’t great on where to check in/see a map. We stopped at the campground host, and although it wasn’t late (just dark), he was a complete a**hole. We just needed a bit of direction. He should absolutely not be in the job of camp host. An old white guy who doesn’t like to help campers. Big thumbs down. The campground is great and spaces are spaced out. No hookups with limited generator use hours. There is a laundromat and showers (you’re supposed to use $1.50 in quarters for the showers) but the water turned on without them. Four shower stalls but only 2 that worked so there was always a line. Laundromat and showers close at 8 pm. General store was very well stocked and prices weren’t bad. Young dark haired girl was there every day and was so kind and helpful. Campfire wood was $7. The one way loop through the campground is easy but for some spaces on the left, your camper door will be facing the wrong direction. Just something to think about when choosing your spot. (There was not enough room for us to park the opposite way and get back out.) Many great views really close to the campground. About 1.5 mile hike to the visitor center and Lodge.

The place is excellent from the point of view of Nature. Lack of site management. The areas are independent and there is no connection and/or coordination between them. Lack of kindness with the people who visit the place. The offer of lunch dishes is poor, limited to sandwiches and hamburgers.

My partner and I stayed two nights here. First night we reserved online, which was easy to do. We stayed had a nice campground. It was so beautiful there we decided to stay a 2nd night if the campground had availability. We lucked up and they had a cancellation. So we packed up our tent and moved to another site right on the edge of the canyon!!! It was beautiful and breathtaking!! Staff was super friendly and helpful!! Can't wait to go back!! Pictures don't do it justice!!

Michael Genova | Feb 16, 2019
Michelle Diaz | Feb 17, 2019

Others have said six months in advance...VERY TRUE! I researched sites ahead of time and made a "top five" list. I ended up with my third choice six months before my trip. It's beautiful there, so I understand why it's so popular. Good luck!

So if I have a tent that goes in the back of my truck is that permitted in the camp site?

chris lee | Feb 16, 2019
Joe Reyes | Feb 17, 2019

I'm fairly certain they don't mind how you set up your tent. Just as long as you purchase a campsite that coralates to what kind of camping your arw doi v and the size of your party.

We read tent camping only in the group campground we've reserved Oct 3, 2018. I have a camper shell that mounts on my truck. If I have the camper on our truck it would still be one vehicle/no tent. Is camper allowed vs sleep in truck bed only

Dave Hooker | Feb 16, 2019
Cathy Mosseller | Feb 17, 2019

No. Group sites are strictly for tents. No other type of camping/sleeping is permitted.

Are there walk-up sites available? Silly me, I didn't make reservations for this weekend and everything is booked. If not, I see there are other campsites that have walk-up. Does anyone have a suggestion on which one to try first?

Emmett Buell | Feb 16, 2019
Cathy Mosseller | Feb 17, 2019

As a walk up, there is tremendous risk that no sites would be available . The time to check is 11 a.m. also, due to a pump failure showers and laundry will not be available . No fires are allowed either. Only propane that can be turned on and off.
