It is amazing how quiet and peaceful the campground can be when outside of here it is tourist mayhem! But with our easy access we can walk to the rim to start our hikes are wait until off hours and take the car to different viewpoints. The shuttle bus is a short walk away, as is the visitor center, store and lodge. The cost is a small tradeoff to be able to easily enjoy the park and a splurge we were happy that we made.
When we arrived, the entire park was closed to any new vehicle traffic. It was totally full (Memorial Day Weekend). We had a confirmed reservation and sailed right through the barrier to our campsite!
There is a picnic table and fire ring at each site. The A loop is reservable and has many sites that are not level. We witnessed some amazing feats accomplished with leveling blocks. I would look to book in the front row of A (A13, A15, A17,A19) for more level sites.
There is generator noise on/off between 8am-8pm. We had plenty of sun for our solar panels to fill by mid-morning each day. Cell service was useable, but did slow down periodically (too many tourist selfies I suspect). While we have a booster, we didn't need to use it.
We had friends visit and the camp host gave us no grief about adding a tent and extra car to our site.
For a great overview of the park book a trip on the Rainbow Bus - a free option from the park, reserved 24 hours in advance. Goes twice a day all the way to the end of the park and includes natural history talk, walks around various viewpoints and history of the region. A great first look that helped pick out what hikes and areas that we wanted focus on. Also the added benefit of keeping us out of the tourist centric areas and no need to fight for seats on the shuttle bus or parking spaces on a busy weekend.

We enjoyed our large pull through spot with towering trees overhead. The best part was that while the trees were pretty to look at, we still had plenty of sun to power our solar panels. It did snow on us one day, but that's what you get in March when you're up at 8,000 feet.
Didn't use the facilities so I can't comment on that, and the dump station was still closed for the season, but we did enjoy the visitor center and camp store.
Of course, the real reason why this campground gets 4 stars is because it's only a short 5 minute walk to the canyon rim where you can gaze in wonder, or lace up your boots and hike to the bottom and back. It was great to not have to drive to the trails, and if the weather was warmer we would have loved to ride on the newly completed bike trail.
My only complaint is that $30/night for dry camping is very expensive!
The cell service I have reported is with a booster.

Our friends scored us a spot in the A Loop of North Campground a few hours before we were able to arrive. We were a little dubious about committing to 5 nights/6 days in a National Park campground. Just how nice could it be?
Well it was pretty darn convenient— perfectly located for a quick sunrise or sunset stroll along the Rim Trail, or for setting off on a full day hike under the Rim. The new Mixed Use Bike Path runs right by the campground, too, and we were the first ones to roll our wheels on it when we visited in mid-October. Tall ponderosa pines provide ample shade throughout the day.
Minuses were the constant trolling of large RVs looking for an available spot for about 6 hours each day, circling like sharks. The other drawback was the drone of generators from 8 am to 8 pm. Many spots were surprisingly un-level on this well-worn asphalt and gravel loop. Some rigs took literally hours to get into place. Hopefully their marriages were strong enough to survive the ordeal.
New restrooms were lovely and featured flush toilets and radiant heated floors. Dish washing station with hot water was also a plus. Fresh water hydrants are located every couple of hundred yards. No electrical, sewer or water hookups at all. We were on the loop closest to the main park road, so there was a bit of road noise each day. In the future, we'd prefer the top section of A loop which was above the restroom, closest to the canyon and had more sun.
A and B loops are for RVs— tent campers and shorter rigs use D and C loops. Only A is open year round. D and C loops had campsites in the dirt. Most sites are not reservable. Get there early!
We had good Verizon signal at the campground, and, indeed, throughout the park. A 15 minute walk to the Camp Store provided access to hot showers and laundry. However, on any given day, half of the machines and showers were out of order. So pack your patience along with a pocket full of quarters. The General Store did have soft serve self-serve ice cream which was Soooo good after a long hot hike.
