“Camping at it's finest”
Welcome to Kaibab Camper Village, your gateway to the ultimate camping experience at the Grand Canyon North Rim. Unlike any other North Rim campground, we proudly offer full RV hookups, including accommodations for big rigs over 40 feet in length. But that's not all—our diverse range of options includes tent sites, cabin-style rooms, and cozy economy cabins to suit all adventurers. Nestled in the serene beauty of the Kaibab National Forest, our campground is a hidden gem. Located just 45 miles from the awe-inspiring Grand Canyon rim via the scenic North Rim Parkway, we provide a tranquil and secluded retreat that's far from the beaten path. Surrounded by the tall pine trees of the Kaibab National Forest, our campground offers a pristine setting adjacent to a picturesque meadow and Jacob Lake. While swimming and fishing are not allowed in Jacob Lake, its tranquil waters offer a perfect backdrop for relaxation and reflection. For those seeking adventure beyond the Grand Canyon, explore nearby attractions like the enchanting Buckskin Gulch slot canyon – the deepest slot canyon in America, or the surreal beauty of Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park. Our premier Grand Canyon RV park is more than just a place to stay; we're your home away from home in the heart of Arizona’s natural beauty. We can't wait to welcome you to this extraordinary corner of the world!

This place was great and not the typical RV park. Nestled in the woods. Great location to North Rim and full hook-up. Has the feel of campground vs RV park. Staff was great and helpful to help us get a good spot. Would stay again if in the area.

Sometimes you find a gem of a place, but the people running it take the fun out of it. The staff is not especially friendly. We were here to replenish our RV and do laundry after several days of dry camping but after setting up and reading the rules we found out that filling your holding tank is prohibited. Other than that, it's a pretty little place in a great location.

There aren't a ton of choices around here to put your head down for the night and if you want hook ups this is the closest/only option. As you can see below the access is good, the location is excellent for visiting the North Rim - the sites are nice and wide and under pines. The staff were friendly however there were a number of issues that would keep me from staying here if I needed anything more than a place to park and hook up.
The rules are not posted on the web site - so when you make the reservation it seems this will be a normal, full hook up site. This is not the reality and when I made my reservation by phone I was told only about the coin operated showers.
Showers: Yes, they exist but while I was here only one was working, the park was filled to capacity and they are coin operated. They cost $2.25 and there is no change machine at the showers - only back at the office.
Dumping: You can keep your tanks dumping 24-7 but the hoses cannot touch the ground. That's fine if you have something to prop them on, but it you don't a flexible sewer hose support is going to cost you $50. The rules say they are for loan but I was told I could buy one.
Water: The rules state that if they catch you using water inappropriately you will be charged $20 and you cannot fill your holding tank. It also states that the water is for drinking only.
Generators: You can't use them

Like a lot of people, we stayed here because it is the closest place (40miles away) to the north rim with hookups...and they know this. The place needs attention. The sites are mostly small and cramped. Most people stay two nights, visiting the park for one day. So there is constant in and out of RV traffic. The bathrooms are far away and are glorified pit toilets. The showers are even further away and are horrible. $2.25 for 5 minutes...takes a minute for the water to get warm and another two for the pressure to build. They are in a large mobile structure that appears to be falling apart. We had a sudden freeze and my water hose burst. I bought two, because the distance to the spigot was so far. Realized I did not need the second one and they refuse to give me a refund even though I had the receipt and the second hose was not used. I don't think they care much. No wif-fi. If you can live without the hookups, I strongly suggest the National Forest campsite which is 1 mile away.

Only stay at this campground if you need electric. The bathrooms are Porta Johns, and very far away from the campsite. The showers are even further away from the campsites and are pay showers located in a dilapidated building. Yes, this is the closest full hook up to The north rim, but unless you need electric you are better off to stay at Jacobs lake right across the street State Park, or DeMotte State Park. which is 25 miles closer to the rim. And the reviews are correct you cannot fill your water tank.

We understand why people in other reviews are not too excited about this place, but for the location and full hookups for an RV (30amp power only) this is really about the only option for the North Rim and it was just fine. It is about 45 minutes from the Grand Canyon and is easy to get in and out of. Staff was very helpful to get things set up.
The bathrooms are very basic and the showers and laundry are pay - but it seems expected. Lots of tent camping sites and I guess if you are tent camping, this should be what you expect to come across.
They have to bring in their water by truck, so they are pretty specific about not over using it. If you have a full hookup RV, it should not cause any issues for you.
They drive you to your RV site and help you get setup, very friendly people.

Jacob Lake, AZ – Kaibab Camper Village
This is one of only a few campgrounds near the north rim of Grand Canyon and it is a very busy place! We arrived on May 14, their first day of the opening season. The staff was very pleasant when we arrived (and every other time I went to talk with them) even though there was a bit of chaos due to it being the first day and brand new. We were escorted to our site and assisted in the backup to our site. Many of the sites are very narrow but they were excellent at getting the RV’s parked without any incident. We were lucky as our site 16 was not as narrow as others and even had room for us to park our tow next to our MH. Parking pad was gravel but ours was very level. We had FHU with 30 amp. Bathroom facilities were older porta-potties. They had paid showers but we did not check them out. Laundry room has only 2 washers and 2 dryers (1 dryer was broken). Wash/dry load cost was $3.50. We stayed here 15 days because we used it as our home base for visiting a number of National Parks but people came and went at a very fast pace. It was full or nearly full every day. I apologize for not having pictures of when it was full!

I don't usually leave severely negative reviews but this campground was near the worst we experienced in our 8,000 loop of the American West. Parking lot sites with barely enough space to open the slides and to short to park out tow vehicle with the trailer. We determined we didn't like the campground after day 1 of a scheduled 4 and were told "No refunds" while she pointed it out on the poster at the desk. I had made reservations almost a year in advance but we still walked away from our $$ and went to the Kaibab Paiute Tribal Campground which turned out to be much better with very pleasant folks running it.
Good luck if you have to stay here.

Park is in the trees down a forest road. Camp hosts were friendly. Our site was next to the road but almost no traffic since it is a forest road. The road is the problem, not paved and it is rutted and not maintained.

Staff was friendly enough. The roads weren’t paved but not bad (not great, but not bad). No free showers as has been said; and I like that they want to be responsible with the resources.
Our rig fit in the tight spot -tricky. First night no neighbors on one side; on the other side, the neighbors were so close that they had to put their mirrors in to fit. Crazy! And fine.
