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.

Great Spot for Family Adventure!
The area of the Needles at Canyonlands is amazing, and Amber’s campground was a fantastic place to stay! Our campsite was tucked against a large rock formation that our kids really enjoyed scrambling all over. The views were wonderful, amenities and facilities were more than adequate, and Amber’s hospitality was very kind- she welcomed us warmly and shared opinions on hikes and how to explore the surrounding area. If we are ever back in the area we would definitely stay again!

Terrific out of the way campsites!
We spent a week touring every park we could reach in the area and were at a different campground each night. Needles Outpost was our favorite by far! The views were amazing, it was quiet, and we had plenty of room to ourselves. Amber was very helpful with preparing for our visit and getting us there on time. The shop and amenities are simple but nice, and just what we needed. Say Hi to their dog Cocoa for us!

Spectacular views by Canyonlands
Amber’s spot at Needles Outpost was amazing! The views were spectacular! Loved the sites! The kids especially loved climbing on the rocks. They have a general store with a little of everything. Both her husband & Amber were friendly & accommodating. There were even a couple of trails to walk the dog or bike 1-3 miles). Options to shower were available as well. If you are heading to the Needles District in Canyonlands, I would highly recommend Needles Outpost & we will definitely stay here again!

We really enjoyed the beautiful views, especially the sunset. Amber is very welcoming and you will have most of what you need on-site. The Needles visitor centre is also very close by, so it’s a good spot to stay if you’re wanting to get hiking done around there.

Each campsite is unique, beautiful, and has spectacular view . The hosts have worked hard at making this a labor of love attending to details while keeping it pristine with a flavor of desert hipness. The hosts were very sweet and accommodating. It’s simple camping set in an etherial setting . Be prepared for a bit of a drive in but once you’re there you forget the travel.
