## Overview

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.

> I would stay at Needles Outpost again. I enjoyed having the red rocks behind my campsite, the views and dark skies, and the quietness. Warm showers were also much appreciated. Amber was very friendly and helpful.

> Super easy to get to and great sites all around the property. Right next to the entrance to the Needles side of Canyonlands. Great views from the campsite and even better star gazing!

> Amber and Oscar and Coco welcomed us to their property. What an amazing view from our rooftop tent. The weather was rain and high winds so we had to hunker down for our our two day stay. The remote nature of the campground was awesome. Our last morning the sky cleared up for a few hours so we were able to have a fire and a righteous campfire breakfast. T bone steak and eggs. The fire pits have heavy duty flip up grills. Nice. The local coyote family howled at the moon early in the mornings. Sound travels differently at Needles Outpost I think because of the close proximity to high cliffs. Almo…
