Great site, incredible campground. It's remote, beautiful, well-maintained, and not large or crowded. Every hike is incredible, and the bathrooms are great!

@HaroldDECB4DFA · Camped on May 26, 2025 at Campsite #25B

The campground was quiet and very interesting with the surrounding rock formations. Loved staying there. We were there for a week and we will be back. Just loved the Canyonland Needles area.

@JenniferG44963 · Camped on May 21, 2025 at Campsite #26

Very nice campground. Spotlessly clean bathrooms and nice spots with shade.

@JeffreyA3B7D4E · Camped on May 20, 2025 at Campsite #25

Beautiful setting. Campsites are not all cramped together; there is elbow room. Bathroom facility, for a campsite facility, far exceeded expectations. It is kept very clean. I would happily come back.

@GlennF2715441 · Camped on May 19, 2025 at Campsite #26

Outstanding and resourceful camp hosts. Outstanding views!

@SilviaD1520110 · Camped on May 6, 2025 at Campsite #26

Perfect camping with potable water and flushing toilets

@BenW9089063 · Camped on May 4, 2025 at Campsite #23

Top notch

@JoseM9624235 · Camped on May 2, 2025 at Campsite #25B

Great location, peaceful and in communion with nature. Extraordinary hikes, especially chesler loop and the trail from loop b campground to bigs spring canyon

@JacobE3666447 · Camped on Apr 14, 2025 at Campsite #18

Amazing park and lovely campground. Each site in the campground has shade and ample space, and many have lots of privacy. The bathrooms were clean and stocked, electric lights would have been nice but just bring a flashlight at night. The park itself was a treat. The trails are all very well marked with cairns. The Peekaboo and Joint trails were our personal favorites for hikes, but you can't go wrong.

@DaveH8980161 · Camped on Apr 9, 2025 at Campsite #18

Great spot tucked by the rock. Good shade and very kind camp hosts. Water available in campground in the loop. A bit busy with elephant hill traffic and bikers passing by, but still a great place. Climb up on the rink for a great view.

@ChelseG9739865 · Camped on Apr 6, 2025 at Campsite #20

Lovely campground. Clean bathrooms. Beautiful area.

@AnnaP5007093 · Camped on Apr 5, 2025 at Campsite #25

Everything was great. The area and the toilet were clean. Plenty of running drinking water. Perfect camping spot.

@SarahIB4487110 · Camped on Apr 4, 2025 at Campsite #24

Jeff and Wendy, campground hosts, were super friendly and helpful. Beautiful place.

@JesicaR99B8A2E · Camped on Apr 4, 2025 at Campsite #25B

Beautiful campground! The campground host was very nice and helpful and suggested nearby trails. We hiked to the needles overlook from the campground to watch the sunset, it was stunning! My only complaint was that we squished two tents onto one pad because we didn't see the other one hidden way back in the trees until the next day.

@JeffV8927367 · Camped on Mar 22, 2025 at Campsite #19

Campground hosts Jeff and wife were great as was ranger Sam. Trail in Salt was difficult due to flood.

@AbigailB77D698 · Camped on Mar 20, 2025 at Campsite #19

This was one of the most fun and beautiful campgrounds we have been to. It is super quiet, but the views are stunning. There were deer that hung out near the site and we had a blast playing in the rocks. My only complaint was that it was far from the bathrooms. Otherwise, we will absolutely stay here again.

@DanS6740969 · Camped on Mar 16, 2025 at Campsite #23

This was a very quiet and relaxed campground. Excellent nearby hiking (be sure to do the short loop right from the campground!) and a very scenic location. Clean campsites and bathrooms. Would absolutely stay again!

@RonS1102629 · Camped on Nov 22, 2024 at Campsite #18

Great site

@lauram1165586 · Camped on Nov 15, 2024 at Campsite #25

Worth the two year wait to get a campsite! Clean restrooms, wish there was an automatic light at night for my mom to see. Fabulous trails and I cant wait to come back to try some of the 4wd trails!

@AdamP2460050 · Camped on Nov 10, 2024 at Campsite #25

We saw 7 lizards on the Druid Arch hike. Not sure if I need to say more than that.

@DavidA3218244 · Camped on Nov 10, 2024 at Campsite #20

Very nice Campgrounds at Devils Kitchen and Canyonlands NP campground. Staff very nice.

@LaurieS7977874 · Camped on Nov 4, 2024 at Campsite #25

We had a hard time getting a booking, but probably due to snow, when we actually got there only about 3 sites were occupied!

@WendyOE618917D · Camped on Oct 29, 2024 at Campsite #18

Loop B Site 17 - speed bumps close to campsite - noise from cars / bumps

@SteveK1630665 · Camped on Oct 25, 2024 at Campsite #25B

Needles Campground is a hikers paradise. There are many great hiking trails that start right from the campground. It's undeveloped but that is one of the unique and positive features of the campground. Bathrooms are clean and in good shape. You can only reserve site in Loop B. Sites in Loop A are first-come, first-serve.

@NeilM4731983 · Camped on Oct 16, 2024 at Campsite #19

The location was spectacular, a very short drive after hiking all day in the Needles District. I loved how quiet it was, and the site was perfect.

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado
