Location: Jacob Lake Group Campground, Loop A. DO NOT make reservations on your own unless you want a private site across the road in the regular National Forest campground.

There are also full-hookups available at https://www.kaibabcampervillage.com/

Cost: Cost will be split evenly between all campers/tents who arrive. In the past, it’s been around $25-30 per tent/camper for the weekend. For those who like camping in four walls, cabins and rooms are available at Jacob’s Lake Inn http://www.jacoblake.com/, or call 928-643-7232.
