The only thing I would have a beef with is the sink outside the bathrooms used for washing dishes. I am a short guy, but even I had to bend over in order to use it.
The North Rim gets only 10% of the visitors to the Grand Canyon. And most of them are not at the campground. The campground was generally quiet and generators are only allowed an hour in the morning and an hour in the evening. We absolutely loved it here and plan on camping here again next year.

Beautiful views of the Canyon from our campsite 11. Many of the sites are unlevel so you'll be challenged in your leveling abilities. Also you want to choose your site wisely because several of the sites your awning and door will open up to the street side. There is access to a lot of trails from the campground so you don't need to use a car. Make sure you bring in enough provisions for your stay because the closest town is 100 miles away. Although they do have a general store with limited groceries.

We enjoyed staying here even for just 1 night! Very peaceful and quiet. So close to the gc lodge. It had 6in of snow when we got there so much much less crowd. No cell service, very slow wifi in the campground store.

Quiet, water available, store near by, clean restrooms. Little privacy between sites. Level site. Several reserved sites were empty, so felt spacious (and extra quiet). Nice walk to North Rim (and the lodge patio for coffee and amazing view). Dogs allowed on Bridal Trail to the lodge, or enjoy the Transept Trail. Amazing park!

This was an incredible site at an incredible campground. Our site (14) and the sites on either side bordered the trail that goes along the rim of the Grand Canyon. Amazing. It was a pull-through site with no hookups. We got a decent amount of sunlight every day for the solar panels but the cell coverage was spotty.
Generators were allowed 4 hours a day (2 in the morning and 2 in the evening) and during that time it was really loud. The other problem was that, even though there was a well marked trail from the campground to the trail on the other side of the next site, most of the campground seemed to think it was easier to tromp right through our site. Like right through it. I could reach out and touch them as they streamed through. But that's more about people being selfish and bizarre than the campground.
The trails around the campground are almost all no-dogs, which was a bummer, but they were also very narrow and at times had steep drop offs on both sides, so it's probably best.
Some of the materials we read said that the campground had no water, but there were spigots every five sites or so. They also had recycling collection, which we really appreciated.
The surrounding area is spectacular and there's so much to explore.

This is one of the nicer national park campgrounds we've stayed at. Sites are large, especially if you can get one of the perimeter sites. The pavement was slightly unlevel but not bad. Clean restrooms with flush toilets. There was a water faucet just a short distance across the road from our site. Lots of tree cover but we did manage to get sun on our solar panels for a few hours in the afternoon.
The best part is you can take trails right from the campground along the rim to the lodge or through the forest to the visitor center, if you don't mind walking over a mile each way.
We loved the North RIm. There are far less people than on the South RIm and the views are just as impressive.
We also were able to boost our Verizon signal from a weak 3G to a weak 4G, enough to check email but pretty slow. Since we didn't think we'd have any internet connection we were happy about that. You can also get free wifi at the General Store near the campground.

We camped in our pop-up tent camper for 4 nights in July 2014. The weather was fantastic with highs in the upper 70's during the day and in the 60's for great sleeping weather at night! Temps are much higher below the rim so take heed of the warnings of being prepared of the heat.
The campground is well maintained and had two camps hosts who took turns being on duty. One took things very seriously and made sure our camper and car stayed on the paved drive of our site. Our site was a pull through and the picnic table and fire ring were on the drivers side while our camper opens to the passenger side. The camp host made it clear that we could not turn around against the campground one way traffic. We didn't mind anyway, the setting was too beautiful to sweat the small stuff! While the camp host may have been a bit of a rule stickler the upside of that is that quiet hours were enforced which was nice. Campground is dry camping with drinking water, dump station, shower house, and camp store available. No cell service on my phone at our site but some slow wifi is available at the camp store. There is a gas station located at the campground with very expensive gas, however, the north rim is pretty secluded so your choices are limited anyway.
We hiked both along the rim and below the rim (HOT) with our 9 and 11 year old kids. We also dined at the lodge with a same day reservation. My daughter's favorite memory of our long summer trip was a mule ride along the rim. We also attended a Ranger lead talk and learned about many artifacts in the canyon. Great time and we'd love to go back.
