DeMotte Campground
Kaibab National Forest, North Rim, Grand Canyon
It’s cold on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, and at an elevation of 8,700 feet, DeMotte Campground can be chilly, too. That’s why it doesn’t open until mid-May, or later if seasonal snowfall has been heavy.
When the snow melts, this campground is worth a trip. Moderately sized with 38 campsites, DeMotte isn’t too crowded. Pine trees and meadows make up the immediate scenery, and those meadows are popular among wildlife — elk, squirrels, chipmunks and more.
