We truly enjoyed this remote campground right on the rim - you can go hike right from there, or just take in the awesome scenery. I am sure know there are no hook-up on site. There are communal water spigots scattered throughout. The staff was just perfect. There are tall trees and there is plenty of shade. Just an incredible nature experience. No we have a 37 feet class A motorhome, and despite warnings of low tree canopies we felt is was just fine, but I think we were the largest RV there. Many sites accommodate only smaller units, although there is, in most cases, room to spare. We did not use public restrooms, so I cannot speak about those, but everything looked sparkly clean. We, like almost everyone who had one, used our generator sparingly within times allowed because we had to recharge batteries that run our fridge, but it almost made you feel guilty disturbing this pristine nature spot. Everyone is very considerate about their neighbors, you will find nature lovers, hikers... The North Rim Lodge is a short walk/hike away and has a stunning sun deck. As we were on the more "touristy" south side before, it is quite out of the way - but I am glad we came. It is a different experience - much more in tune with nature and minus the crowds. I am glad we made reservations, and you should as well to ensure your long drive was for nothing because the campground is full.

Campgrounds were well spaced. The restrooms were exceedingly clean. Friendly campground hosts. Easy walk to the lodge.

Very helpful campground and store team! I appreciated their efforts to make sure things were right. The campground was really nice. However, if you have a larger rig, make sure you get a spot with significant room that is reasonably level. Several of the sites are for small RV's or tent campers. I have a 35' 5th wheel and had some leveling challenges. I also had to be careful when leaving due to overhead trees. The campground staff was very helpful working out a way to get my large tall rig safely out of the campground. The campground is very nice with all of the large trees and nicely spaced out camp sights

We were so fortunate to be able to get in this campground. Both rims are exquisite in their own way, but the North Rim was more our speed.

Truly our only negative experience was the limited hours for generator use…7-9 am and 6-8 pm. We have a 40 foot motor home with residential refrigerator. If there is any other above-minimal power use, it makes it difficult and uncomfortable to maintain adequate battery charge. Other than that it is beautiful campground with nice, large spaces and generous space between each campsite.
