Sky Dancers Den
We absolutely loved our stay here! The camp site was beautiful and secluded. It was very neat to be right outside of the national park! Amber and Caleb were very kind and helpful. We would definitely recommend this site!

Tipi 2 at the Rocks
Amber and Caleb were accommodating, friendly and gave us great suggestions. The view from the campsite is breathtaking! Our campsite had everything we needed like a fire pit and was very clean. It was fun being able to climb on the rocks in the property. We even saw some petroglyphs. Will definitely be staying here the next time we are in the area. Highly recommend!

A valid alternative for The Needles
Needles is a remote section of Canyonlands. I believe it's very convenient to have the choice for another campground if needed.
Amber was very diligent, and friendly from day 1.
The campground also offers showers, that the Park don't. Maybe there are not the best showers on Earth, but I can't imagine the difficulties these people might face to run a busy campground, bathrooms, showers, etc, in a remote place, with no running water.
If the bathrooms can be improved? Certainly, yes. How difficult it is? I don't know.
We had booked for 4 nights, but we left earlier because of rude fellow campers, and one of those, once in a lifetime availability inside the Park. Not the host's fault.
If I would stay there again? Yes. No doubts.

Beautiful location with super easy access to Canyonlands. The campsites are fantastic but are fairly close together. The owners are very friendly.

It was a wonderful experience. We loved the location and atmosphere. Very peaceful and quiet. Kids also had so much fun climbing up the rocks right behind us.

Hosts were available and at the ready to make the stay successful. They were so generous and friendly!
The site was well maintained and spaced far enough away from other campers.
Loved having a reservation to stay so close to the park too!

Open View Tipi
Place was amazing. We had the tipi further from the wall and I think that was better. Bathrooms could use improvement but hey, this is camping. Ask about the hidden campsite.

What an amazing place to stay at! I received a warm welcome from Amber. Picked my own campsite. It does pay off to arrive earlier in the day so I had some sites to choose from. The other lots filled up quickly around 4-5PM.
If I decide to return to hike The Needles, I will definitely come back!

Beautiful surroundings and sunsets. Campsites are nice and roomy. You get to pick out your campsite once you arrive. The camp hosts were super friendly and helpful.

Tipi 2 at the Rocks
Great place to stay. Welcoming, beautiful place. The landscape is incredible, the campground felt safe and well cared for. Beautiful skies. Great little store for anything you might have forgotten. Was fun to spend a night sleeping in a tipi. The cots are comfortable and you are off the ground. Nice floor covering. Bathrooms are clean. Will definitely be back.

The campsite is just outside Canyonlands and is very scenic itself. Amber and her husband were so kind and their outpost had some great stuff.

Camping in the Desert
All the info was clear, directions were clear, and it was such a remote and peaceful location. Got to witness thunderstorms in the desert and unlimited stars at night. Amber is a fantastic hostess. Everything exceeded our expectations.

the sites are much closer together than it appears in the pictures. the only saving grace is the views, absolutely beautiful stargazing. the bathrooms were never stocked and broken.

This is an amazing camp experience and Amber is a wonderful host. Great to have showers and necessities nearby. She even lent us her dishwashing bucket. Great vibes here and spectacular views. Thank-you Amber and Caleb.

Camping in the desert
Very nice remote spot in the desert with amazing sunsets.
WiFi is only available in the area around the store, not on the campground itself.

Mo~Rock'n Tent
Fantastic Camping Spot
We loved our little glamping tent. It rained all 3 days we were there but inside the tent was perfect, warm, and dry. The surrounding area was beautiful and we loved getting to explore the park so easily.

Camping with amazing views.
An excellent off-the-grid campsite on the doorstep to The Needles, we could not have asked for a better location. The views at sunrise/sunset of the Canyonlands was wonderful, probably better than being in the park campsite as you got full appreciation of vastness. Showers/flushing toilets was a nice ‘add’ to this dispersed camping site, so while rustic, it was welcomed after our day(s) of long/hot hikes. Amber is a wonderful host - I appreciate her guidance to rules around quiet times and speed limit, as this keeps the campsite peaceful (and dust free) so guests can feel closest to nature. I would definitely recommend staying here, especially if you are familiar with what dispersed/off-grid camping really is.

So-So
Amber was super nice and the campsites were great. Great location and great views! Wifi is only at the lodge which kind of hindered us planning our upcoming hikes. Bathroom stalls were literally falling apart, not just outdoor camping dirty.

Sky Dancers Den
Red Rocks!
The Sky Dancers Den backed up to a wonderful red rock formation and was quite private. The site was very magical.

Mo~Rock'n Tent
Paradise in Canyonlands
My best hipcamping experience yet! Amber's directions were clear and helpful and she had great communication. The location is excellent in both the aspect that it's extremely convenient for exploring the Needles District of Canyonlands, as well as that it has an isolated-out-in-nature feeling. There were great amenities such as the general store she runs which includes both necessities like food and drinks, but also fun things like jewelry and clothing. There were also showers, toilets, wifi, and even gas if needed. My partner and I stayed in the "Mo'Rockn" Tent which was our first time ever glamping (as we usually rough it in a regular tent.) It was so worth it!! Absolutely beautiful tent inside and out. She keeps it very clean and stocked with everything you'll need. She throws in some extra amenities for the glampers such as fire starters, shower tokens, cooking pots and pans, comfy chairs, and more. A real cherry on top of the whole experience was getting to climb and explore the rocks that surround the camping area. We got up there in time to watch the most beautiful sunset. Another bonus—she has the sweetest little dog who loves belly rubs!
Thank you again, Amber, for such a wonderful time, if we're back in the area we'll be staying again!

Big View Camping!
I loved camping at the "View of the Needles" Campground, just outside the Canyonlands-Needles District park boundary. Amazing views, spectacular sunsets and sunrises, and dark sky - star gazing make this a perfect basecamp for adventuring in the park. Camps host Amber is a delight to meet and so friendly and helpful. And how great that you can go hiking in the sun and then stop by the Outpost store for ice cream on your way back to camp. I highly recommend

Fantastic area with plenty of things to do that were close by. It was very quiet and climbing on the rocks behinds the campsite offers some great views without having to hike a massive trail. The host was very nice and accommodating and the small shop right next to the camp sites offers most of the things you need that you may have forgotten before arriving at the site. I would definitely recommend this place and plan on visiting again soon!
