This Outpost and campground is located on 300 acres of private property surrounded by park and public land. It has been here for over 30 years in some form or another. We are Caleb & Amber who enjoyed managing this little oasis in the middle of the desert from March to June of 2017 when we decided to purchase the business & make it our own. This is a dry, rugged campground with a bathhouse that provides coin operated showers and flush toilets. In addition there is little old rustic camp store placed in the middle of nowhere where we provide fuel, snacks, firewood, ice, showers, cold drinks & more. If you are looking for a more private site with lots of space and shade, book our Small Group at the Rocks. For a warmer stay during the cooler months book one of our Glamping Tents listed. We have the larger, and spacious tent in the grove of the Juniper Trees (which is also amazing in the warmer season) and rent a heater from us inside the general/camp store. BE SURE TO GIVE YOURSELF PLENTY OF TIME TO CHECK IN NO LATER THAN 5PM. THANK YOU!! DON'T FORGET TO TAKE A SCREEN SHOT OF THE DIRECTIONS HERE, YOU WILL LOSE SERVICE ON YOUR WAY.

Tipi at the Rocks

What a beautiful place! We felt welcomed and well cared for. July at Canyonlands was particularly hot, so we spent the day out and about and came back in the evening. Not a lot of people around, the campsite was quiet and peaceful. The tipi was too warm for us, so we set up our tent which had better airflow. Amber and Caleb are awesome hosts, lots of kindness and support.

What a beautiful campground. Just unfortunate that the owner was very overbearing. She came into the bathroom while we were using it and scolded us on water usage as if it was not one of the amenities. This experience was really soured by her presence

Site 3

Site 3 was incredible. I had a wonderful and peaceful experience here and found the owners very kind and helpful with great attention to detail.

View of the Needles Campsites (RV)

Super knowledgeable and friendly staff. Beautiful view and awesome rocks to climb. Needles Outpost is definitely not for the quaint and be ready to live it up outdoors. I will say if you are in an RV be aware that quiet time is strict, which means no generator on in RV. But if it's the real outdoors, beautiful night skies and peaceful environment then Needles Outpost is your place!

Tipi at the Rocks

Definitely a roughing it experience. We didn’t know it was an open top tipi situation and there was rain and high winds. We ended up leaving and finding a spot closer to town. Wonderful camp hosts and cool spot though.

Small Group Site at the Rocks

Great site for exploring

Great site. We rented the group site for extra space. Beautiful place with fun places to explore/climb right in camp. Very comfortable, quiet, and well maintained campsites!
