I've camped here a couple times and hope it gets rebuilt and reopened soon. The air is cooler up there in the summer. The views are amazing. The Lodge's den and porches (the most amazing view at sunset I've ever seen) was also open to campers.

Very bad experience. We reached late at around 10 pm. Then we set up our tent, cooked some food and played light music to have some drinks and fun. We were not aware of the quiet time rule. At 1 am someone comes and threatens us to take to jail as we were making noise and tells he is a police officer. Disappointed, We stopped our party and went to the tent. At 8 am some lady is shouting near our tent asking us to clean our mess and calls us asshole. Then some old man comes and tells we should be ashamed of ourselves and threatens to ban us from national parks. We thought people will be lively and having fun but they were there to just sleep and cook food. If we disturbed anyone , somebody could have told us politely and we would have stopped right away. There is no view of Grand canyon too and the bathroom stinked. We left at 9 am itself. Horrible experience.

Rangers were helpful. Little store. Clean showers. Laundry. $1.50 for shower washer or dryer. Great views. All the campers were considerate. Theres a shuttle to the lodge. 10/10

The best mistake was thinking these were privative campgrounds - only to find out they are fully functioning after the spring open date! Temps were still very cool at night (29F one night) but laundry, showers, potable water were all available in addition to firewood and other supplies at the General Store ... And a nearby full service gas station that provided fuel for normal prices. Lovely hiking in the area & my first experience with international dark skies!

Great campground! No water or power hookups, but flushable bathrooms and drinkable water stations really close to each campsite. There is a really cool trail that goes from the bottom of the camp to the visitors center and a lookout point that’s part of the campground. Lots of shade and nicely wooded campground! Kids loved it and it was very quiet at night even over Memorial Day. You can frequently hear the wind going through the canyon which is cool too

The North Rim Campground is at the very end of a long road that starts in the middle of no where. If you want to get away from it all, this is about the best place in the US to do it. Because it is so far away from everywhere, there are very few people coming for the day, the campground is small and there is a small lodge nearby. The camp grocery store is not only the best stocked I've seen, the prices were equivalent of a discount grocery store. Unlike most of the west, there are no bears around so you don't have the usually hassle of hiding your food. The tent spots are spread out well so you are not having to hear your neighbors conversations. It is a short walk to great views and hikes. There are many other areas to see the canyon that are a short drive. Stay at least 3 nights, 5 are better. Get your reservations as far in advance as you can.

Awesome place to before or after your Canyon Hiking experience. Stores are well stocked. Clean restrooms. Once the showers are re-opened it'll be perfect!!

Smaller than South Rim but not as crowded either! Love the look outs and views! Only Hiked Angel's Landing and view point! Only had a day we'll be back!

Nice sites. Some better than others. Most shaded or unlevel

The most spectacular location for a campground I have ever been to! We slept 100 yards from the rim! Decent facilities and great location to visitors center and the Royal Drive around the rim. Far less people than the South Rim, and you get a higher vantage point to see the Canyon. HIGHLY recommended! Public Service Announcement: please know that no other camper wants to hear your stupid music playing (unless you are playing quietly for yourself), especially in a national park setting. If you found this review helpful or informative, please leave a "like."
