Jacob Lake Campground

Recreation Home Page

 

 

 

 

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 else
but here on the North Kaibab Ranger District.
