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. Please check with us on fire restrictions, hipcamp is often wrong on their assumptions, we rarely have fire restrictions. 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.

ABOUT OUR CAMPGROUND and LOCATION: The Needles District of Canyonlands National Park, (not anywhere near the Island in the Sky) visitors center is only 1.5 miles away. We are approximately 1.5 hours from Arches and approximately 2 hours from Island in the Sky. YOU CHOOSE YOUR OWN SITE UPON CHECK-IN with a beautiful wide open view of the Needles "hoodoo" rocks with the park only a stone's throw away. All guests must check in at the store. If you will be staying during the months of June, July, August, September and want more shade book the small group site where there are very old beautiful Juniper trees. If you would like a cozy, warm stay during the cooler months, check out the glamping tents on our property. There is a bathhouse with warm showers and flush toilets. ARRIVE NO LATER THAN 5PM to keep your reservation. WHAT TO EXPECT: This IS the Wild, Rustic, Dirty Desert, not for Everyone.  This is Camping & keep in mind this is a rugged camping experience not for the faint at heart. The desert is Hot in the summer and cold in the winter, the weather is Unpredictable and you May experience our Wild storms...Monsoon season runs from July-August which is amazing if you are into photography. Be sure to bring proper gear for the rain (if we get any). You may hear coyotes, see spiders, experience the annoying desert gnats at certain times of the day during the hotter summer season. You will want to bring bug spray, but if you forgot we do sell it in our camp store. If you stay with us you will get the experience of desert camping, wild, raw and rugged. It is an amazing experience to be had, with beautiful views and the feeling of freedom that is hard to find in more civilized and populated locations. The rocks nearby are kid friendly, great for climbing and taking amazing photos of our fantastic views and gorgeous sunsets. BATHHOUSE :There is a Bathhouse with Showers and Flush Toilets. Showers are with a token and must be purchased during store hours. The bathhouse is shared with other campers and gets dirty. We are surrounded by red dirt. Toilets get clogged, it sometimes happens in public bathrooms. It is cleaned everyday. The bathhouse is under renovation but still fully operational. ABOUT THE AREA :There are several hiking trails in the area as well as bicycling & 4 wheel drive trails on BLM (public land).

Small Group Site at the Rocks

95% (31)
RV/tent site · Sleeps 12 · Vehicles under 35 ft
This charming group site is nested up against the red sandstone rock wall that encompasses our entire campground. If privacy is what you desire then this is the best site to book. If you have friends or family (12 guests maximum total) joining you then this site assures you will be all together with out having to book multiple sites. We don't have many trees out here in the desert but this site has a small grove of the deserts' aromatic juniper trees providing plenty of shade if you are here in the warmer months and it offers a little protection from the winds during the change of seasons. ABOUT OUR CAMPGROUND and LOCATION: The Needles District of Canyonlands National Park, (not anywhere near the Island in the Sky) visitors center is only 1.5 miles away. Hikes into the Needles are less than a 10 minute drive. This section of the park is a hikers paradise, what we call the "quiet side", underrated, inherently and beautifully primitive. A place to be treasured. We are approximately 1.5 hours from Arches and approximately 2 hours from Island in the Sky. There is a bathhouse with warm showers and flush toilets. ARRIVE NO LATER THAN 5PM to keep your reservation. SITE SPECIFICS: This small group site is for those who want a gathering of family members, friends or small events.  This site will fit 6 tents or 3 rv vehicles, or any combination of such with 10 guests total, This a quiet escape for those who want to experience the serenity of the outdoors yet with the comfort of a few amenities nearby. This is a beautiful space with several Juniper trees providing an adequate amount of shade along the base of the red rock formation. WHAT TO EXPECT: There are several hiking trails in the area as well as bicycling & 4 wheel drive trails on BLM (public land).

The site is beautiful and so close to the Needles District entrance. It was handy having the store - ice cream at the end of a hike was a treat! The bathroom is admittedly older, and could use some refreshing/repairs, but the kind owners are working as they can to improve things. Our kids loved scampering and exploring on the slickrock behind our camp and enjoying the sunset views.

This was a great campsite with beautiful views and a very scenic drive in. We were very thankful to have bathrooms with running water and a shower if we needed it. There are also fire pits and a table at each site, and roughly half of the campsites have trees that provide shade. You can also choose your own site when you get there which was nice. The only downside was that it was about an hour and 20 minute drive to the entrance of Arches National Park, and the Canyonlands entrance that this site is close to does not connect to the rest of the park. We ended up driving the 2 hours to the other entrance when visiting Canyonlands.

Needle Campground is perfect if you want to explore Canyonlands (park many skip and shouldn’t) or have a quiet place to stay for a night or few. The Needles visitors center is 5 minutes away. The Chesler loop trailhead is an about another 15 minutes from visitors center (the road is winding and has blind spots. We did it with a Campervan so it’s doable). If you doing the full 11 miles start early (6 or 7am), if you are hiking in the summer. The canyon gets very hot. Some sections have no shade. Some camp spots have no shade either so taking a screen might be a good idea. The campground has toilets and showers. There is limit on the shower time, but 5 min is more than enough in my view. Amber is super helpful and was easy to reach. You can do a bit of scrambling around and get a good view of the campsite from above. Sundown is beautiful.

What a perfect ending to the most wonderful trip - my partner and I had been dispersed camping for 5 days and six nights when we decided we wanted to check out Needles district before ending our vacation. We’d been hogging a great spot near Moab for long enough, we thought, and boy did we need to shower! When we found Sky Dancer’s Den was available for the last leg of our trip it was a no-brainer, we booked right away from a gas station parking lot. The quiet, that mattress (wow!), the view, the conveniences available, proximity to so many amazing places, we couldn’t believe our luck. Our time at Outpost was as refreshing as we’d hoped but also so magical, going home felt bittersweet.

View of the Needles (Tent Site)
The only good thing I can say about this campsite is that it's undeniably beautiful. However, any extensive interaction with the host (Amber) will ruin the experience. The first red flag I encountered was how frequently the host texted me throughout my trip to see if I screenshoted her directions and give her an ETA ... 1 day before we were even staying at the campground. We were scheduled to arrive 15 minutes before her closing time. However, the texted directions were a nightmare and hard to read. She flips back and forth between describing the north and south directions to the location of the campground. Upon arrival at the campground, Amber immediately got after my husband for speeding there down her road (since we were late due to poor directions). My husband informed her that our van only goes by 10's, but he would do his best to drive 5mph. This wasn't good enough for Amber and it became a point of contention several times for Amber even if we were going the estimated speed. At one point she refused to allow him to pay for a shower until she described her "feelings" regarding an unpleasant interaction with him and proceeded to use the F word for "speeding" (which we weren't at that point). The last complaint is regarding the bathroom situation. They are disgusting. The ceiling tile is tied to the women and men's side and is falling out. So, a peeping Tom could peer into the women's side while women are showering... This whole thing was so unacceptable we left early

We had such a quiet, peaceful night camping here. We loved climbing all over the rocks finding petroglyphs and catching a beautiful sunset from an elevated view. When leaving you’re a stone’s throw from Needles and can beat the heat and crowds for an early hike! Well worth the stay, regardless of a fire restriction. We’d do it again!

If you want to have a true Utah dessert experience, this is the right spot for you. The night is quiet and clean and the silence overwhelmingly pleasent. Amber and Caleb were super nice and always eager to help. The only think we regret is not spending more time there and try Caleb's speciality: spanish pork cuisine ;). Definitely will repeat if coming back to the state!

Cannot say enough good about Amber and the Needles Outpost. From her first words, "Welcome to Hipcamp!", to our sweet, shady campsite among the trees near the cliffs, to the night sky, it was fabulous. Amber creates a peaceful, calm atmosphere where everyone can enjoy the beauty of this special place. Even campers' dogs were quiet and calm! We met campers from around the world, were super close to Needles (views, hikes) and Amber had suggestions for spots and hikes to check out. I highly recommend!

Awesome little campground right at the entrance to Canyonlands.. Enjoyed watching the sunset from the rock formations just behind our site. Saw some awesome petroglyphs hidden up in the rocks. Side note: Hey dipshits .. don’t vandalize the rock art 🤨. The hosts run a tight ship and the campground is clean and well managed. Be respectful of the limited water and appreciate the quiet beauty of your surroundings. If you are looking for an even more remote but primitive spot, there are many dispersed options in the vicinity if you have the appropriate vehicle to get you there. Sometimes after a long drive though it’s nice to have a spot that you don’t need to search for with all the amenities. (They have ice cream in the store) We enjoyed the showers and the peaceful atmosphere of the camp and had a great opportunity for some incredible stargazing as our stay coincided with the new moon and perfect visibility at night. Would recommend for anyone who is looking for a peaceful night camping in an incredible location.

Small Group Site at the Rocks
I recently stayed at Needles Outpost Campground and had a fantastic experience overall. The grounds were clean, well-kept, and clearly maintained with care. Our campsite was peaceful and quiet, surrounded by stunning natural beauty—honestly one of the most scenic places I’ve ever camped. The restrooms were in good shape and fairly well maintained throughout our stay, which was much appreciated. The only downside was the limited number of trash cans. When the campground is full, it can be a bit inconvenient not having enough waste disposal options. That said, it didn’t take away much from the experience. I’d absolutely return and recommend it to anyone looking to enjoy the serenity and landscape of this incredible area.

Would not recommend Needles Outpost. If you have even a minor issue, things go south quickly. Made reservation in advance, but needed to change dates shortly before arrival. Tried via HC to modify, not cancel. No luck. Msg. host and 1st response indicated they'd paid no attention to question. Msg. again and host suggested I cancel 1st reservation and make a 2nd (non-cancellable) reservation for new dates and they'd refund the 1st. HC site would not allow and I msg. back, explaining this and to ask if I could drive up and we handle things in person at their office. Host responded that HC's customer service "had gone downhill" and "it's also hard on hosts," but no response to my actual request. At this point, as a solo female, I needed to make different plans. I moved on and two days later get phone messages and texts from the owner. She "felt awful" and "totally missed the text" (HC message)" and did offer a credit, but by this point I was out of the area and requested a refund. We've gone back and forth. I'm now being called entitled for requesting help and accountability. She's blamed everyone, HC, communication access, etc. Anything to avoid taking responsibility as the owner/host. There is also no immediate customer service via HC. It's email chat and you will get a request # and a promise of contact in 48 hours. I waited 5 days and had to recontact them. Did receive a 20% credit of trip cost for future visit with HC, but I'll never use HC again given this experience.

Solid alternative to the Canyonlands camping if you want to be close to the Needles. The sites themselves were somewhat close together but we were lucky to have access to some awesome rocks to explore and get great views. Don’t forget your shower flip flops like I did!

Amazing location and unparalleled views. Some really nice sites and some less great. Lovely friendly hosts and well stocked store, with gas, ice, food available. No potable water available though. The mens bathroom was really pretty disgusting (and I'm someone that is accustomed to basic vault toilets and boy scout style outhouses). I'm sure it's really hard to run the place in such a truly remote location but the state of the bathroom was awful enough I didn't want my kids using it unsupervised. The women's was apparently somewhat better. It's a shame because it's an amazing place otherwise. If the national park sites are full and this is your only option, or if you have a van with your own facilities, this is a workable option.

Needles Outpost is literally surrounded by Canyonlands NP and Bears Ears National Monument. This off grid campground, run by the effervescent Amber and ultra handy Caleb, offers numerous sites for all types of campers. We stayed for 3 nights and were impressed by how respectful everyone was. The little store offers a variety of products including ice cream bars, a treat in the desert. Distant views across the desert, expansive stars at night, spectacular sunsets, great location for exploring the Needles section and Bears Ears make this a terrific place to stay.
