Looking for a Cool Place to Camp in AZ during the Summer
We went through our first AZ Summer last year. Zow! It was hot. This year we're looking for some place cool to camp in our Class A for part of the Summer. Any recommendations?

North Rim of the Grand Canyon! It is difficult to get reservations in the small dry campground at North Rim Village, but out in the forest, you can dry camp for weeks at a time, and it is fairly cool, due to the 7,500' elevation!
I would love to spend a summer there. It is not to hot, and the price is Right! You can then spend some time going to the nearby campgrounds, and dump there, fill with fresh water every 2 weeks or so.
You will not be to far from Bryce Canyon, also at 8,000' elevation, and a great place there is Ruby's Inn, a full hookup campground. THey have a hot tub, pool, ect.
Arizona is more based on elevation, where anything less than 2,000' elevation will be really warm, and you get feet of snow in the winter at the higher elevations. By the end of October, they get a couple of feet of snow at the North Rim, and it will not open again until the snow melts, sometimes as late as mid-May.
Good luck!
