We used Lee's Ferry CG (Glen Canyon NRA) as a base and explored the area quite a bit in 2015. There are virtually unlimited boondocking opportunities in Kaibab NF off 89A up to Jacob Lake and many more on the surrounding BLM lands.
We'll be heading back that way in May of this year and plan on taking advantage of those then. Another camping spot we found of interest wasLone Rock
Lee's Ferry and Lone Rock are waaaaaay too far to explore the North Rim! There are so many very nice close spots. Why drive far distances?
Didn't mean to suggest OP should stay at either one; only that we'd found, but not camped at, some nice boondocking sites near the North Rim in Kaibab NF while we were at Lee's Ferry and that we thought Lone Rock and the surrounding area was of interest. Sorry for any confusion.
As to driving 'far' distances when we camp, I'll plead guilty. We were at Lee's Ferry for nearly two weeks on the trip I referenced and would often travel a hundred miles or more to hike a particular trail or drive a back road that we'd heard or read about. For us, that seems more practical than breaking camp and setting up again.
