Pretty simple. They built the CGs before they dug the Grand Canyon. As you can imagine, they didn't attract much business, so they couldn't afford FHUs. :B

I do not know for sure, but you are 50 miles plus from "civilization"

Photo of my 32 foot TT. Lots of room, I do not remember the site.

Two years ago we stayed at Kanab, Utah at the Kanab RV Corral while we visited the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. It's a beautiful drive from there to the North Rim, about 50 miles if I remember correctly. We were very impressed with the facilities and the very clean restrooms/bath house. If you need hookups, especially in the hot summer, it's a very nice spot to stay. They have a nice web site with beautiful pictures of all the parks within 100 mile radius of their campground.

Here's a link to info on travel to the North Rim. If I remember correctly, there's a point when the weather closes that entrance and the road isn't plowed all winter.

Just returned from our outing at the North Rim and surrounding areas, Used Kaibab Camper Village as our base which was located within walking distance to Jacob Lake Inn, our site provided Water, Electric and Sewer. It is one of the few (if any) sites in the area that offer complete hookups and it was nice to have as the mornings were a bit chilly.

There are 8 sites in the North Rim campground that can accommodate a vehicle up to 40 feet. Site 11 is a "prime" site, near the side canyon and trail, but it would be pretty tight for your coach. The others are 23,24 and 32 on the outside of the main loop, and 12,13,17 and 20 on the inside. Of these sites, 23 and 24 are my favorites. You can get more info at recreation.gov , including pictures of the sites.

we are partial to the North Rim of the GC. Have stayed a couple of times at Kaibab...nicely run camp, everything work, pleasent setting with pinetrees.

If you need hookups, Kaibab Camper Village at Jacob Lake is the only choice that I know of. There is also a nice Forest Service campground at Jacob Lake. There is also the DeMotte Forest Service campground about 1/2 way between Jacob Lake and the rim. There is a National Park Service campground at the North Rim, but advance reservations are a must.

We like the food at the Jacob Lake Inn.

We also highly recommend driving the roads (in the toad) to Point Imperial and Cape Royal. The North Rim is about 1,000 feet higher than the South Rim and the views are jaw-dropping spectacular. Take the short trail to the top of Angel's Window, a don't miss.

The only one in the park is the north rim campground, no hookups.
Just outside the park is Demotte park campground. Any size rig, no hookups.
RV Camper village in Jacob Lake 44 miles north of the park. Electric only.
Jacob Lake Campground, no hookups.
All have dump stations.
Dry camping is available on forest service road 22, with areas larg enough to accomedate any size rig.
