The campsite has a paved entrance with (dusty) gravel paths to the loops. There are very clean, accessible vault toilets that are lit at night in various places within the park and large trash dumpsters. There are spigots for potable water near the restrooms. The sites are of various sizes and depths but it appears few if any are level. Our site (#34) easily fit our 40 foot Class A but required eight inches of cribbing under the front tires to achieve level. Some of the sites looked great for tent camping. Sunlight for solar is limited due to the trees. StarLink functions without buffering but again, the trees do cause obstruction. Traffic through the campground is slowed by some serious speed bumps. They don’t seem to affect pickup trucks much but they’ll tip a fridge in an RV if not careful. Make sure everything is secure as it doesn’t matter how slow you go, it’s akin to rolling off a curb. Highway noise is present throughout the day but it isn’t intrusive. It goes away at night and is replaced with sounds of the forest. The pine smell was amazing. This campground has no hookups (unless you’re the host). Bring your own water in as the spigots are not intended to fill RV tanks. For power, you’ll need a generator as recharging from solar is pretty hit and miss. There is no dump station so you’ll need to make other arrangements. The overall campground is very clean and well tended. The hosts were friendly and quite visible. The ground squirrels are numerous and just as friendly. They didn’t chew anything that we owned which is good but they do like to climb on things. Don’t leave food or trash outside as I suspect they’ll pilfer anything edible or usable in their burrows. Although there’s quite a bit of dispersed campsites in the area and a FHU RV Park nearby, I’d stay here again as my first choice.

Great Boondocking campground. Clean, quiet and great location. Beautiful trees and good space between sites. Great trail in the campground. Right across the street from Jacob Lake Inn, with the Best cookies anywhere. Also the Forest visitors Center is right next door to the Inn and it is great but very limited hours. More hummingbirds than you can count at the visitors center. Hosts were great and toilets were very clean and no smell inside.

Don’t get out of your car unless you plan to pay. We just drove through to check it out and to use the restroom. The campground host pulled behind our car and made us pay $8 because we used the restroom.

My husband and I pulled in and stayed the night on May 23-24th/26. The campground is lovely, the campground hosts on duty were awesome!! Very welcoming and helpful!! Campground is well taken care of, bathrooms were clean and lots of access to drinkable water. There is a lovely walking/running trail along the edge of the campground. Only reason I gave the campground a 4 star rating instead of 5 is because there was no shower facilities. Otherwise, this place is a gem!

Stayed here in Oct. 2025 and everything is open! We even got one of the camp host spots when they didnt return after evacuating for the fire. The vault toilets on site are spotless and there is potable water for filling if needed. The Jacob Lake Inn & Restaurant is right across the street and is DELICIOUS! Get the pot pie and some cookies while youre here. We were able to drive to all of the lookouts on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon.

Beautiful spot, easy to get to. $30 a night was a little rough to stomach for what was offered. I think we saw a camp host but they never introduced themselves.

What a wonderful time we had! We stayed in the Group A site. Beautiful Ramada and area. The bathrooms were cleaned daily and the trash was collected twice a day. The only thing we didn’t love was that there wasn’t actual individual sites. There were just divets around the Ramada. In the end, it was actually decent to have everyone face that way. Also the campfire pit had benches. We would love to come back here depending on what happens with this fire right now. It’s just a quick jaunt to the north rim but from what I’ve been told, it’s burned down 😭. The store and lodge across the street is fantastic and has amazing cookies!

Clean campground with camp host's that do an excellent job. A little loud so I would get to the back as much as possible. 40 miles from the campground to the North Rim NP. Beautiful drive. Clean restrooms. Worked well for us. We were in the National park most of the time.

Great campground - clean and very well maintained. Nice large spaces. Hosts Sharon and Russ were great - helpful and friendly. Watch for the kaibab squirrels - very beautiful with white tails and dark gray bodies. The 24s

Clean, isolated camp area with large campsites, potable water and clean restrooms. Lots of rvs, trailers and tent campers. Also pet friendly for leashed friends. Definitely a beautiful place to stay and explore. Check out the amphitheater too! Wander into the woods and enjoy breathing in some fresh nature.

We stayed here for 2 nights in late-May 2024 and used it as a base to visit the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. It was an easy, early morning, 45 mile drive to the North Rim. It is a nice US Forest Service campground. We were happy to have reserved site #45 for our camper-van, as the campground was pretty full. The site’s gravel driveway was flat. The campground is near the highway, but there was not much traffic noise at night. The vault toilet was very clean and well-stocked. Highly recommended!

This National Forest is maintained by a contractor and they do a wonderful job of keeping it clean and tidy. The bathrooms were the cleanest I have ever seen and the host provide a jug of hand sanitizer right outside the door. There is absolutely no garbage anywhere in the CG. And all the sites are level. We paid $13 for a night with our access pass.

We stayed here between visiting the Grand Canyon and Bryce Canyon. It’s one of the nicer campgrounds I’ve stayed at. The staff were helpful and friendly, and there were several campsites available when we visited in early June. The campsites have a picnic table and a fire pit with a grill. The bathrooms were easily the cleanest I’ve seen at any campsite, and other campers were respectful of the noise & light rules. The camp store and gas station are a minute a way, have any supplies you’d need for a night of camping.
