Jacob Lake Campground

Most people come to this campground because it is located on the main access route to the Grand Canyon's North Rim 44 miles to the south . However, campers at Jacob Lake don't have to drive at all to take advantage of excellent opportunities for hiking, sightseeing, and wildlife viewing. Right at your campsite you may catch a glimpse of the black bodied, white tailed, tuft-eared Kaibab Squirrel. It lives nowhere but here . . . in the North Kaibab District.

Naturalist programs are available in season, and there is a self-guided trail near the visitor center. Horesback riding and chuckwagon meals are available from a nearby concessionaire. At 8000 ft above sea level, it is very often cold at night, so bring warm clothes. Dumping facilities for RVs are available.
