Camping at it's best! We had a great time at this site. We didn't fully plan our visit and no sites available at the North Rim so we stayed at Demotte. They host was super nice and site was clean.
Nice, quiet campground (besides the coyotes in the middle of the night). Really clean pit toilet bathrooms at every loop. Really helpful and generous camp host. Maybe 20 minutes from Grand Canyon North Rim entrance. Beautiful quaking aspens and pine trees. Nearby gas station and lots of deer.
Demotte is The best place and authentic campground to be. Right in a Middle of the Kaibab natural forest. Very close (17 miles) to North rim / Grand canyon (the wilder one versus South or West rim which are full of tourists). Hiking, short scenic drive to impressive overlooks, ... and breathing pure air ... very far away from Las Vegas atmosphere.
Local manager is so gentle. Price very low. Everything is well organized and maintained (place to park, toilet, water, firewood, ...). We spent two marvelous days-nights with our campervans and my little family (2 ladies 10 and 15 y old + wife). Great !
