Cottonwood Campground is the only campground on the North Kaibab Trail. From here it is about seven miles and 3,600 feet of elevation difference to the North Rim. There are toilets and running water from May to October. The Bright Angel Creek, which flows directly at the campground, invites for a cool swim.

For an overnight stay a permit is necessary, which can be applied for here nps.gov/grca/planyourvisit/backcountry-permit.htm

Cottonwood Campground is the only campground on the North Kaibab Trail. From here it's about eleven kilometers and 1,300 vertical meters to the North Rim. There are toilets and running water from May to October. The Bright Angel Creek, which flows directly at the campground, invites you to take a cool dip.

Nice small campsite with clearly defined camp spots. In summer, almost all of the pitches are in the sweltering sun for a long time, only two (one of which is a group spot) offer some shade. But you have the Bright Angel Creek behind the tent wall, where you can cool off and refill your water supplies.
