This was a great campground, beautiful views of the canyon just a few steps away

The location is lovely. We camp in a trailer and need to be somewhat level. The sites we fit in were so unlevel that it was impossible to adjust enough. We made it work, but sometimes it is unsafe. Even van or car campers had the same problem. Tent sites were great. The bathrooms in the campground were way cleaner this time, but the smell is almost overwhelming at times. The one by the ranger station was really great, though. The availability of paying online was good, but it would have been nice to have a cash option.
Some Coverage

Arrived relatively late in the day and was still able to get a spot. Some sites are a bit of a jigsaw and may be confusing if you don't leave a marker on the post indicating it's occupied. Nice drive on the north rim with a nice hike to Exclamation Point. I didn't get to go further due to weather.

Small and quaint campground with a few sites which is what we like. Some sites have views of the canyon.

We enjoyed an atmospheric stay at the North Rim Campground. The light and rainbows increased the wow factor. The site are close together but nestled among the pinyon pines and the tent sites are groomed.

Canyon was a beautiful experience. Went to North side because of fires on the South side. Camp site was well kept and overall good experience.

Quiet, clean campground with some shade even in summer. Great stargazing location.
Major Issues
@GarrettC5A7B37 · Camped on Jun 22, 2025 at Campsite #8
The campsite was clean, firewood was provided, and the ranger station had WiFi that could be used from outside the building. Campsite area was pretty and not crowded at all. Highly recommend staying here to get away from the crowds on the south rim!

Hard to set up! Could be made easier with the regular envelope and cash or check and the box to put it in.

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
