Beautiful drive
Janelle F.

What a beautiful drive if you have the time. Kaibab National Forest is HUGE and so much to see and explore. You can camp, drive through just for the views on your way to or from the Grand Canyon. Depending on where you're coming from your views will be different. I came in way of Kanab taking the old highway through Fredonia so I could see the fire damage, so sad I know, but also because you'll come out ending smack dab at the Vermilion Cliffs which I wanted to see. A huge man made fire reeked havoc on the forest and so much of the forest is gone. The green is coming back and campgrounds are opening back up. Jacobs Lake is nearby and so many beautiful trees still stand. Another plus is you avoid the major traffic from Page and bypass it all together. There is a gas station or two between Kanab and Fredonia so don't worry.

If you wanna get up to the Grand Canyon, you'll probably be passing through this massive preserved land, and while I haven't spent any time other than driving through, it's quite beautiful. I'll post some pix so you can see for yourself. Good day.

Kaibab Lake Campground - So beautiful

Kaibab Lake Campground

4.1(29 reviews)

Kaibab Lake Campground is located north of I-40 as you head towards the Grand Canyon (60 miles…read moreaway). I have lost count as to how many times I have passed by this beautiful, well-maintained area without camping here, but this will no longer be the case. We stayed two nights here (June 7-8, 2016) and it wasn't enough during our weeklong trip. Dry camping only - tents, trailers, & RVs. No hook-ups. Just you, your posse, your home away from home. We found that the pull-through sites were not our style. The back-in sites were more level and seemed to have a better feel. If you end up with a pull-through site, though, you will still be a happy camper. It's mostly relatively quiet here. You can still kind of hear the I-40 and trains off in the distance. Otherwise, it's very peaceful. The campground hosts are really friendly and helpful. They sell firewood, ice cream, fishing bait and ice at their check-in area. PROS - vault toilets (but they actually smell nice & toilet paper is provided!) - paved roads & graveled sites - each site also has a fire ring with a grill & a picnic table - leashed pets are allowed - garbage AND recycle bins are nearby CONS - closed from October to April due to weather - no utilities or dump station (and please don't dump your grey water onto the ground!) - no running water except the potable water spigots (for drinking only... FYI... the lake is a water source for the City of Williams) TIPS - reserve your site online at recreation.gov - day use areas are by the lake - fishing is allowed - for license info. go to https://www.azgfd.com/ - daytime average temp. = 82°F & night time = 54°F. HOWEVER, these fluctuate. Be prepared. The pine trees smell amazing here. Or perhaps I had been inhaling the L.A. smog a bit too much - ha! The twinkling stars at night are a breath of fresh air too. The funny little Kaibab squirrels who to my surprise really didn't bother us... They are pretty flippin' smart. So fast. Too fast for cameras. Stay here at least one night if you get the chance!

Lake was way too low to access safely. It was also very muddy due to recent monsoons. Campground is…read morenice but without hookups. Fishing was relaxing but the catching was zilch. We will wait for the lake to fill before we go again.

We came here for the first time mid June with a group of friends and really loved the campsite…read more They have large and clean porta potties available with fully stocked toilet paper. Unfortunately, we couldn't have a fire due to fire restrictions. However, we were able to bring our own gas-powered fire pit. I'm glad my husband checked the website a few days prior to our reservation, otherwise we wouldn't have known. It would be nice to get informed by email if you have a reservation about fire restrictions, because if we didn't bring our blackstone to make our food, I would have been very upset. Before arriving, I did some research on the black bear shack that our friends told us about, but sadly found out they are not at this campground anymore. The road coming in is extremely bumpy and rough. When leaving the campground, I recommend going left instead of right. Our cars needed a very good car wash after! The campground is very beautiful. The weather was perfect; in the 50s at night and high 70s in the afternoon. I would definitely camp here again.

There was no potable water. Had to empty water bottles to have water to wash hand. Was advertised…read moreto have potable water and grills and firepits. 1 of 3 sites we rented had a grill. Needs a solar motion light for restroom. One was okay but others were bad. We stayed 4 days with no water for hand washing if had known would have prepared differently.
