Overview

Kaibab Lake sits among the diverse landscape of Kaibab National Forest of northern Arizona. The lake is a popular spot for fishing and picnicking, as well as for RV and motorhome campers. With Grand Canyon National Park just 60 miles north and several other cultural and historic sites nearby, the location is a hotspot for recreation, learning and sightseeing.

Recreation

Kaibab Lake is a popular area to join friends or family for a picnic in the cool pines. A number of forest attractions are easily accessed from the campground, such as overlooks, dams and hiking trails. A nature trail wanders through the facility.

Swimming is not allowed in the lake, but anglers can take to its shores or deeper waters via an accessible fishing pier and small boat ramp. On clear nights, campers can turn their eyes to the night sky to enjoy spectacular views of summer stars.

Facilities

The campground offers individual, double and group campsites with picnic tables and campfire rings. Tents, trailers and motor homes up to 40 feet can be accommodated. Campers have the convenience of a group picnic area, restrooms, trash bins and water faucets. Drinking water is provided, however motor homes and RV water tanks cannot be filled due to limited water supply. Firewood bundles and ice can be purchased on site.

Natural Features

Kaibab National Forest is nestled on the Colorado Plateau, on an area of land that was uplifted by geologic processes. The lake sits at an elevation of 6,800 feet, and pine forests and grass line its shores, while wildflowers add extra color to the landscape in late spring and early summer.

Summer temperatures range from 50 degrees at night to 80-90 degrees during the day. Summer thunderstorms, known as the monsoon, can build up quickly, especially during July and August. Snow is common from December through March.

The campground was beautifully wooded and quiet. The host was kind and helpful. Sad to see the lake so low. Nevertheless, I would be happy to come back to this sweet spot.

Would rate it a 5 but unfortunately the lake is drying up and is in dire staits. That being said the staff was very friendly and the camp areas and toilets were kept clean. I've never camped there this late in the season but there were few campers present. Probably due to the low water. I hope there's a good winter up there to replenish the lake but the way things are going I doubt it.

Lake is pretty dried up. Staff was extremely rude! I asked if there were still fish and she said I guess, but you have to walk. I asked if we could move campsites she said for everything to be done within the app. I asked if I could refund again it was through the app. Upon arrival she was having a yelling match with one of the guest. My family and I left. We ended up camping at Whitehorse lake. It was beautiful and the staff were extremely helpful and polite!!
