Every number below comes from the live North and Sunset pages on this site, which track these recreation.gov campgrounds for cancellations.
They are neighbors on the same rim with the same practical answer. North Campground has 98 sites (51 RV with no hookups, 47 tent-only) and sits next to the visitor center; Sunset has 101 sites (47 tent-only, 51 RV, plus 1 standard) a short drive down the road. Neither has hookups. Book whichever shows an opening for your dates - then set a cancellation alert for the other.
North Campground lists 98 sites: 51 RV (no hookups) and 47 tent-only, right beside the visitor center at the main amphitheater entrance. Sunset lists 101: 47 tent-only, 51 RV, and 1 standard site, a short drive further along the rim. No hookups at either, which is normal for an 8,000-foot plateau campground.
Less than you would think. Both put sunrise and sunset rim walks within minutes, and Bryce's shuttle connects the corridor in summer. Treat them as one 199-site pool: take whichever opening matches your dates, keep an alert running on the other, and spend the saved planning time on the rim trail instead.
Both book on recreation.gov. Summer weekends go fast at this elevation because the park is the heat escape for the whole region. Set a free alert for your exact dates at both campgrounds and we email you the moment a cancellation opens. Sold out anyway? Cabins in Bryce Canyon City book on Vrbo.

The counts are nearly identical (98 vs 101), so neither is a meaningfully bigger pool. Our Zion vs Bryce compare covers both campgrounds in detail. The reliable play is alerts: both are recreation.gov campgrounds, and cancellations post back as plans change.
