North Campground - Bryce Canyon National Park

The North Campground in Bryce Canyon National Park is centrally located in the park just past the visitor center. One thing to be prepared for is the high elevation of the park. 

You will be over 8,000 feet in elevation surrounded by pine forest. During the 2019 season, the park repaved both Bryce Canyon Campgrounds.

Bryce Canyon North Campground Map

I feel like I need to mention that these photos were taken in June during a snowstorm. I wish the weather would have been a bit better so you could see the campsite pics a little easier. These were also taken before the campground was paved. We were told that by the end of summer 2019 the campground should be re-paved and updated. 

Loops A & B are for RV campers. Loops C & D are for tent campers.

North Campground has

• Restrooms with flush toilets
• Picnic tables
• Drinking water
