Construction to Occur While North Rim Campground Remains Open

North Rim, AZ - The Grand Canyon North Rim Campground will be open to walk-in visitors only beginning September 23, 2003. All reservations that have been made in advance will be honored, but no additional reservations will be taken. Walk-ins will be on a first come/first served basis. The public may call 928-638-7814 for a status on campground availability but must be present to get a site. Paving will occur during this time and will affect the number of sites available.

After October 14, 2003, restroom and shower facilities will be closed for the season. Camping after this time is primitive, requiring visitors to bring in their own water, and carry out all trash and other waste. Fees will not be charged after October 14, 2003.

Other camping options until mid-October are DeMotte campground and Jacob Lake campground, both run by the U.S. Forest Service. DeMotte campground is just outside the north entrance to the park. Jacob Lake is a one-hour drive north. Also, at large primitive camping is available at multiple U.S. Forest Service areas on the North Kaibab and the Dixie National Forests. Please contact U.S. Forest Service offices for additional information.
