Jacob Lake Campground

Super clean bathrooms cleaned often by camp hosts. Pit toilets with no smell.
Sites 1-11 are first come first serve, but close to the hiway. Great cell service (Verizon).
Lots of sites have shade. Large ponderosa trees.
No recycling. We took our recycles to the north rim in the national park
Jacobs lake lodge across the street with restaurant and cookies and milkshakes.
Showers and laundry available a couple miles away at the kaibab village RV park. They also have dump there for $20 if needed

Stayed here so I could look around Kaibab area.
Campground is very well taken care of.

Clean vault toilets'. They had hand sanitizer outside buildings.

No services at sites. But water available at each vault toilet.

Cell data service was great on T-mobile.

Did not like the road noise from 89A. If road noise bothers you and you still want cell data service FS 247 is for you.

Stayed here in a 36 foot fifthwheel.

Needed a site for opening day at the north rim, and Jacob lake fit the bill. Had stayed there years ago and looked forward to a return.

My site was roadside, which wasn’t really an issue as traffic on 89-a is light overnight.

As a tent camper, for me the downside was that generator hours are 6a-10p, and some were taking full advantage of that.

The camp host Jon is great, and the bathrooms are spotless under his watch.

Beautiful pine forest, though no privacy as these trees afford no foliage. Sites 1-11 are first come first serve and then you can stay a number of nights. Some of the other sites are reserved but you can stay one or two nights depending on their arrival date. The ones on the edge of the forest would have been really nice as you can park against the road and block off the site a little. Pretty trails through the forest to explore. Our site (#10) was close to the restrooms and potable water, which was handy. Neighbours had loud generators at various hours and other noises (a high-pitched sound all night, random vacuum/plunging noises at 5am). Campground is right on the highway and close to the service station so traffic is pretty constant, though a little quieter at night. Campground hosts were pleasant. Firewood cost $8 a bundle. Cleanest and best smelling vault toilets I’ve encountered. Proximity to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon was excellent; we went there for the day and came back to the campground for night.

Very clean. Vault toilets also the cleanest I’ve seen.
Water spigots to refill jugs.
Chevron/convenience store and a restaurant appear to be across the street. Right on busy road but I didn’t find it too noisy.
Good 2-3 bars Verizon, was able to work, stream, etc.
Friendly camp hosts, convenient place to stop for a night or to get some work done.

Very nice and well kept campground. The CG inside Grand Canyon North Rim was being renovated so stayed here in Jacob Lake and pleasantly surprised. The sites are nicely leveled pea gravel, extremely clean throughout, and honesty a convenient location. It is a little bit of a drive to get into GCNP but the drive is gorgeous. Camp hosts were super nice. The site I was in was located next to the road so was a bit of road noise but quieted down by bedtime. Highly recommend and looking forward to my next trip!

We stayed here during a recent heat wave, with local temperatures hitting the low 90's during the day, dropping to low of 60 at night. That said we didn't need our AC.
Our site was fairly level, gravel, with a little shade, our rig's auto leveling feature was able to handle it, but the front of the rig was quite a bit off the ground. The sites are large, each with a fire ring and picnic table. No hookups! There is water available by each toilet.
The camphosts are friendly and do a fantastic job keeping the campground clean and orderly. The bathrooms are vault toilets, but they are kept spotless and mostly odor free.
Firewood is available for $7 a bundle from the staff.
There is no dump station on site, but there is one at the campground a mile down the road for $15.

This camp is not the closest to the North Rim but it does offer a number of reservable & reservation sites.
There is a ¾ mile trail that goes north through the forest that loops to the east end of the camp. It is a great walk anytime of day.
The camp has good access to hundreds of miles of forest service roads and trails to ride ATV’s, SxS or jeeps. The maps are at the camp host site. Plan to bring water!! The local RV Park charges $20 to fill & $15 to dump tanks.
For a short stay or an extended stay you won’t regret staying at this camp.
It was comfortable maneuvering our 32’ fifth wheel. We saw many bus style rigs towing cars going through camp also
