For Jacob Lake Campground - North Rim: I’m an avid hunter and don’t often stay in camp ground when hunting, however when it’s just me scouting or a quick trip solo I stay in a campground.... odd I know.
The hosts here are always friendly and super helpful, facilities are clean too. Cell phone coverage in the area is hit and miss, I believe the only tower is in Jacobs lake, but could be wrong.
If you’re looking for a more rustic away from people camping experience there are 100’s of camp sites in the forest up there within a 5 mile radius “as the bird flies per sayâ€.
One thing about the area I want to mention, you’re at 8,000-9,000’ elevation in this area (9,000 is more towards the Grand Canyon in a couple pockets). You can get quite a bit of wind up there so don’t be surprised if it is windy almost nonstop. At night it can get chilly to downright COLD especially if you’re from Phoenix. I was hunting in this area in late October a couple years ago, I left Phoenix and it was mid 90’s. I got up there about midnight and it was a crisp 28 degrees, over the course of 11 days I had a dusting of snow on the ground 2 of those days one of those days had winds that cut right though you!! Even in the summer bring some warmer weather clothes and rain gear, rain will creep up in this area.
In this area of the state you don’t have to worry about bears as there is no known population of them in the area, biggest thing you have to worry about is mountain lions. Don’t fear the lions they are just like any cat and want to stay away from you as far as possible, you might hear lion sounds at night when they’re the most active but it generally won’t be close to camp grounds like this. When driving in this area be carefull and keep an eye out for deer, the kaibab plateau is packed full of mule deer and they run across the road often. I’ve seen many accidents there from people hitting deer, one of them we stopped and helped the 2 European women who had hit the deer. We got them back to Jacobs lake, squared away with DPS and on their way.
Right across the road you can stop into the lodge at Jacobs lake for food, soft serve, beer or even one of their amazing muffins or cookies!!!!
The lodge does not have tobacco products so if you smoke or dip you won’t find it there.
