This place was awesome! So surreal. I loved waking up to the quiet and looking out into the canyon. It was peaceful and breathing. My boys and I loved camping here. I’d camp here again!

Absolutely amazing place. For those thinking about riding a motorcycle to this. I highly recommend not doing it on a Goldwing. But it is totally doable.

Great free spot with beautiful views! For some reason, google maps took me through some crazy backroads that were a bit muddy through the Kaibab national forest? But I think going FR 22 to 67 to the road that leads to Saddle Mtn would have just been dirt and gravel roads that are fine for any vehicle, just a bit bumpy, unlike some of the more remote roads which got a bit wild- still made it with a rear wheel drive, but my truck fridge flew across my conversion. No amenities here, other than a fire pit at our spot, but it's worth the long drive.

Beautiful spot to hike and camp for a few nights. Toad is long and bumpy but we were able to pull our 21ft trailer down and back no problem, no 4x4. Be careful in the wet seasons, I could see the road getting less manageable.

Beautiful scenic camping area but no services or toilets and a bit rough to get in and out.

An otherworldly campsite. Get there fast because there are only 4 good spots, but it is so beautiful. Watch out! There are bats galore. However it is so pretty and you better wake up for the sunrise. Very bumpy road going up and takes forever but do it

Great place for dispersed camping at the north rim of the grand canyon.

This place is awesome! There are no amenities (water, bathroom) and to get there you have to drive for 13 miles on gravel road. But it is totally worth it! Up there you will find solitude and amazing views of the Grand Canyon. If you need information about this place, I recommend stopping at the North Rim Country Store, on the main road. They were very helpful with giving us directions and tips about this place.

Absolutely beautiful. We got here with no one in sight and snagged the perfect spot. Only a few other campers rolled in after us this afternoon. There is one pull through for a vehicle that is right on a nice overlook and a few other campsights within view of the rim.
