North Rim Campground, Grand Canyon, Arizona

Seeing as this next place is one of the Natural Wonders of the World, the Grand Canyon needs no introduction, but you might not know of the campground on site. Located on the North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park, you are met with sweeping, rustic views of the canyon, shaded by towering Ponderosa pines.

Worth noting is that the North Rim is not as busy as the South Rim, so if you’re looking for a more discreet place to relax, this campground is your best bet. Among other wildlife, it is home to wild coyotes and deer.

While hiking the Grand Canyon is doubtlessly the most popular activity, campers can also enjoy biking, picnicking, and rafting. With 277 miles of the mighty Colorado River,  the canyon is about a mile deep at specific points and 18 miles wide.
