Be sure to fill up with gas in Page, if you are going through there. Once between Flagstaff and the turn off towards Zion NP, there are few gas stations, and they must truck in the fuel a long ways, making it more expensive.
There is only a couple of commercial campgrounds along the north rim. Plenty of space in the National Forest, if you know where to look. I was 'stuck' looking for a forest camping area once, because the north rim park campground is small, and full at the time I was there. If you will only be staying during the day, then it might be best to just take the truck all the way to the park, explore the area, and leave near sunset. If you want to catch sunset over the rim, you might want to get reservations for dinner at the rim restaurant well before noon. They fill up fast, as the people in the bus tours can only eat there, or starve!
Have fun camping!
