Headed to the North Rim campground in August. Reservation in hand. Any "tricks" or unique things we need to know? I'm aware it is dry camping. Thanks for any insights.

The only Trick/Advice I give is to try to enjoy an early Breakfast at the Buffet. and then as many say just Stare - Cooler - Less Crowded - Higher - Different than the South Rim.

Many considered it to be the better of the two but the truth is (IMHO) that it is just a different EXPERIENCE than the South Rim. In the summer because it is a little higher in elevation it is a little cooler, It offers many wild hikes and just a different experience - just remember if you hike down it will be hotter and it is a longer way back up.

Having been to both side many many times it is just more ME. In August I will guess you will still have some warm days but if you turn in late you will not miss the lack of A/C in a dry camp spot. But sometimes it is still warm or still at night and a battery powered fan might be nice.

Enjoy your trip and try to remember to let us all know how you liked it.

BOL,

Images look good to me.
