Exclusive Location near the Grand Canyon’s North Rim
Kaibab Camper Village is the only privately-owned campground with full RV hookups near the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, a highly sought-after location for travelers but limited in available accommodations. Its proximity to the North Rim offers a unique advantage in attracting both national and international tourists seeking an authentic Grand Canyon experience without the crowds of the more accessible South Rim.
View Listing High Demand and Limited Competition
The North Rim receives nearly 500,000 visitors annually, yet it only captures about 10% of the total Grand Canyon tourism, largely due to the lack of nearby accommodations. This scarcity creates a high-demand, underserved market that Kaibab Camper Village can tap into, especially during peak summer months when lodging in the area fills up quickly.
