I'm visiting Grand Canyon North Rim, suggestions?

It isn't a short trip up to white pocket.. plan a few hours in and out.. are you exploring the area or just passing through looking for a spot? I can recommend a few places just of the highway with views as well.. the views are not hard to come by.. lol

Planning to stay overnight and camp out. Also, any place near the are with a lake or river? Thanks for replying :)

No.. its the desert.. nearest camping by a river would be Paria to the north or Badger creek overlooking the Colorado on the Grand canyon. Nearest lake is Lake Powell north of Page, AZ is huge, beautiful and about 80 miles from Jacob lake, you can camp on the beach @ lone rock dispersed camping area for a fee. To the north near Kanab you can camp by Kanab Creek or Johnson canyon.

Lee's Ferry has camping by but not on the Colorado river. It would be really hot though.

Just did a 600 mile trip in the area.. let me know if anyone has any additional questions.. found some nice places to camp and have some trail recordings from Point Sublime and also mapped a few other overlooks in the area of the Grand Canyon North Rim. We went to the North Rim, Point Sublime, Jacob Lake, Marble Canyon, Lees Ferry, Badger Cyn Overlook, White pocket (vermillion cliffs), Kanab (Peekaboo slot canyon, sand caves) Mt. Carmel (belly of the dragon, Barracks trail). Couldn't have asked for better weather camping in the Kaibab Natl forest near Jacobs lake.. low 50s at night.. high 70s during the day. It was perfect!

I was camped out at Jacob Lake 3 wks ago. Great campsite, ideally located between the AZ and UT borders.

Just came back from a 5-day trip to the Kaibab plateau, just north of the North Rim. Basecamp was between Crazy Jug and Locust Point. We go at least once a year. Most beautiful place in existence.

I'm happy to answer any questions.
