About this campground
Nestled near the entrance to one of nature's most spectacular amphitheaters, North Campground serves as your basecamp for exploring Bryce Canyon's otherworldly landscape. With 99 thoughtfully arranged sites spread across four distinct loops, this campground offers something for every outdoor enthusiast. RV adventurers will find their home in Loops A and B, where spacious sites accommodate larger vehicles, while tent campers can immerse themselves in the quieter atmosphere of Loops C and D. Though the campground embraces a back-to-basics approach without hookups, modern conveniences haven't been forgotten—a dump station operates throughout the summer months for a modest $5 fee, and fresh drinking water flows freely near the station, ensuring you stay refreshed during your high desert adventures.
"North Campground" caters primarily to tent and RV campers. Loops C and D are specific to tents, and Loops A and B accommodate RVs. There are no water, sewer, or electrical hookups available.
Historical SignificanceYour tent or RV rests on land that tells a story millions of years in the making. North Campground sits within the protected boundaries of Bryce Canyon National Park, where ancient seas once covered the land and time sculpted one of Earth's most remarkable geological galleries. This landscape has witnessed the footsteps of Native American peoples, early Mormon settlers, and countless travelers drawn to its mystical spires, each adding their own chapter to the canyon's rich tapestry of human connection.
Weather and SeasonsWinter transforms North Campground into a crystalline wonderland where temperatures dance between crisp highs of 31.6°F and star-filled nights that dip to 10.9°F. The dry desert air creates perfect conditions for those magical snow dustings that transform the red rocks into a photographer's dream. Each season brings its own character to the canyon, from winter's hushed snowscapes to summer's vibrant blue skies, making every visit a unique encounter with nature's artistry.
Natural Features and SceneryWake up to a landscape that defies imagination, where towering hoodoos stand like ancient sentinels guarding secrets carved by wind and water. From your campsite, you're surrounded by nature's sculpture garden—crimson spires, pink cliffs, and orange ramparts that glow like embers in the morning light. The high desert ecosystem creates a unique backdrop where bristlecone pines twist skyward and mule deer wander through camp at dusk, reminding visitors that this otherworldly terrain pulses with life.
Geological RegionPerched on the eastern edge of the Paunsaugunt Plateau, North Campground offers front-row seats to one of Earth's most stunning geological theaters. Here, in the heart of Bryce Canyon National Park, the forces of frost and erosion have carved a fantasyland of fins, spires, and natural bridges from the Claron Formation's ancient lakebeds. This high desert sanctuary, painted in every shade of red imaginable, showcases millions of years of Earth's artistic handiwork in stone.
