Campground Overview

About Jacob Lake Campground

Towering ponderosa pines frame this gateway campground to the Grand Canyon's North Rim, offering a serene forest retreat with easy access to one of America's most iconic natural wonders.

Jacob Lake Campground provides a quintessential high-country camping experience in the Kaibab National Forest. The pine-scented air and secluded sites create an immersive natural atmosphere, while the well-maintained facilities ensure a comfortable stay. This campground serves as an ideal base for exploring the less-crowded North Rim of the Grand Canyon, just 44 miles away.

Located at the intersection of US Highway 89A and State Route 67, the campground sits at an elevation of 7,920 feet on the Kaibab Plateau. The surrounding area is characterized by expansive forests, meadows teeming with wildlife, and dramatic canyon views. The nearby Jacob Lake Inn offers convenient access to basic supplies and dining options.

Campers can enjoy hiking and mountain biking on nearby forest trails, or take a scenic drive to experience the breathtaking vistas of the Grand Canyon's North Rim. The campground is particularly popular for weekend getaways and as a stopover for those touring the region's national parks and monuments.

The campground's reputation stems from its pristine natural setting and strategic location as a jumping-off point for North Rim adventures. Its cool summer climate and dark night skies for stargazing add to its appeal for nature enthusiasts and families seeking a genuine outdoor experience.
