- TwomedExplorerNothing like being on the edge for sunrise/sunset/just sitting watching shadows change, dinner at the lodge. Our 40+ did just fine. Enjoy it all.
- ErnestExplorerWe stayed at Demotte this year in a 40'DP and loved it. The campground hosts were fantastic. Winchester lodge next door had great food also.
We loved the North Rim. - profdant139Explorer IIOr -- now for something completely different -- what about boondocking out in the Kaibab National Forest near the North Rim? It is really possible with a big rig -- lots of space, wide pullouts, decent gravel roads. And fun to scout in your toad, too.
- linnemjExplorerWe stayed at the North Rim this fall with friends who have a 40 foot class A coach. You have to pick your site carefully but you will have no trouble. We really enjoyed camping at the rim. It is a beautiful national forest campground in an outstanding setting.
- accsysExplorerWe had no trouble fitting into this pull-through the middle of May 2011 at Demotte.
- Thom02099Explorer IICan't address Demotte, since I've not stayed there. But was at the North Rim the last week of their operation before closing for the season. There were a number of larger Class A rigs there, interspersed around the CG. They are all pull thru sites there, I would recommend one of the sites on the outer side of the loops vs the inner loop. Had site #10, was plenty of room for my 26ft trailer (30 ft w/rear slider) and my GMC 3500 dually, with space left over. The "prime" spots are #11 through #16, which are right near the canyon edge.
In addition to the CG being convenient to the Lodge, there's also a general store and fuel there at the CG. However, fuel is not cheap. Would be better served to fuel up just outside the entrance, at the Kaibab General Store. Diesel fuel was 30 cents/gallon cheaper there.
