About This Location

Discover Jacob Lake Group Campground, a scenic USFS site in Northern Arizona perfect for group camping, hiking, and exploring the beautiful Kaibab Plateau.

Jacob Lake Group Campground and Picnic Site offers a peaceful, high-altitude escape nestled within the beautiful landscape of the Kaibab National Forest. Located at the junction of US 89A and AZ 67, this USFS-managed site serves as a prime gateway for those traveling toward the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. The surrounding area is defined by towering ponderosa pines and open meadows, providing a classic mountain setting that is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts looking to enjoy the crisp air and natural beauty of the Southwest.

The site is specifically designed to accommodate group camping, making it an excellent choice for family reunions, scout troops, or organized gatherings seeking a rustic experience. While the campground provides a scenic base for group activities, visitors should be prepared for a primitive camping experience, as there are no utility hookups available on-site. The location is perfect for those who enjoy active days spent hiking the nearby forest trails or spotting local wildlife in their natural habitat.

Whether you are planning a day of picnicking or an overnight group adventure, this site offers a quiet, accessible retreat. For those looking to explore the region, its proximity to major highways makes it a convenient stopover. To ensure the most current information regarding site availability, group size limitations, and seasonal operations, we recommend contacting the North Kaibab Ranger District directly before planning your trip.
