Nice location in a pine forest. Very isolated park, decent sized spaces. The folks at this park are very concerned about water usage, as it has to be trucked in from far away. No public showers, and the rules stipulate that water is to be used for consumption only - no car washing, no showers. They reserve the right to penalize you $20 for every violation of their water rules. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Tightest park we've ever been in. I worried the whole time we were there how we were going to get out of our site. Fortunately the coach across from us left the same morning we did, so I was able to pull thru his site and get out. Also the gravel/dirt road driving in (7/10 of a mile) was so dusty that our red tow car was snow white AND you are not allowed to wash cars or rv's in the park. I WILL NOT STAY HERE AGAIN. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The hosts were great. 30 amp electric service a bit weak. About half of the people picked up after their dogs in the very convenient dog walk. A few of the sites are quite large, but most are a little close. "Lake" is a bit overstated. The grounds are more what you would expect in a Forest Service campground, rather than a RV park, somewhat rustic. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Sites are small, restrooms are just nice clean porta pots, showers are pay per minute, and the store has about three items in it, but the location is great for going to the north rim, plenty of big shade trees, and very nice and helpful staff. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
We were to stay here June 24th (Saturday), but the Warm Fire was going on at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. We stayed another week in Williams, AZ. I called and spoke to really nice people at the rv park, but the people in charge of the rv park are in Flagstaff, AZ. I was calling to cancel because of the fire. On Monday, I finally was able to reach the people in Flagstaff to find out if I was going to get my first nights stay refunded. They were nice, but told me I need to be patient for about a week. Well I've been patient for 4 weeks and still have not heard anything! I guess I will need to call them back again. When we finally do get to visit the North Rim, I think we will stay in the National Park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a great place to use as a base for visiting the north rim of the Grand Canyon. While it is located 45 miles north of the park, it's the closest campground with FHU. The campground hosts are very friendly and willing to give additional hints on sights in the area. We loved staying in a wooded area, smelling the pine scented air. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is one of the closest campgrounds to the north rim of the Grand Canyon. We stayed here in a 45' Prevost. It's a bit tight, but certainly workable. Close access to Rt 89A. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The forest offers shade, quiet and seclusion. There was an escort to the site and the staff were friendly and helpful. The gravel sites were not level. They only offer 30 amp, but it was so cool in mid-September, we didn't need the AC on. Water is trucked in so we were asked to conserve. Restrooms were port-a-potties and were locked in our section. Firepits are available, but not on site, they were across the road in a tent section. We were here during Deer Bow season and the campground filled up. It is one hour drive to the Grand Canyon North Rim and 45 minutes to Kanab, the only grocery. Fuel prices are much higher on the Plateau. They offered a modem hookup but requested a 15 minute time limit. They did recycle aluminum. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Campground is accessible by a 1/2 mile gravel road. Individual sites varied from very small to roomy. All need quite a bit of leveling. Not much privacy between sites and trees made slideouts a challenge. Biggest concern was the power supply. Voltage fluctuated quite a bit leading to lights dimming and variations in fan speed. Ran the refrigerator off propane to reduce risk of any damage. Water pressure low. It's about 40 miles to the NPS campground at the North Rim. Undoubtedly worth the extra miles. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Toilets are port a potties, sinks outside, $ showers, didn't inspect them. There was a power outage because one big coach was running 2 air cons! They had to turn them off before the electric came back on. We had a reservation, called mid afternoon to tell them we were delayed until around 6 and "hold it"; when we got there we were given the last available slot (next to the entrance). Someone did not communicate our phone message. A good location for seeing the North Rim We camped here in a camper.
