The visitors staff were great. I was disappointed that a lot of the ranger programs were cancelled.

Loved my week here! I stayed at B19. Small amount of shade and very close to the next site, but no one was there the first night so it was fine. Three tent pads available. The bathrooms around the corner had running water and were very well maintained. I loved that you could climb up the rocks around you and watch the sunset! Be sure to take the scenic drive, the end of the road is worth it!

We LOVED the ranger led programs. One at the campground was on how ancient people used the sun to tell the date, and another and the visitor center was on tracking animals. Both were fantastic. You guys are killing it. have fun and stay safe out there!

@KathleenA22196 · Camped on Jun 24, 2025 at Campsite #21

Calm and shaded, perfect for the night and to avoid being in direct sunlight when you wake up.

@DanyaleH004312 · Camped on Jun 22, 2025 at Campsite #22

We visited each of the 5 Utah National Parks on this trip, and Canyonlands (Needles) was a family favorite! The remoteness, staff and volunteers, and unique characteristics of each campsite were incredible!

@FranzM5821964 · Camped on Jun 21, 2025 at Campsite #26

Amazing.

@ThomasL2772337 · Camped on Jun 17, 2025 at Campsite #22

In the Needles section of Canyonlands trails and roads will take you through amazing colorful scenery

The Needles campsite was quite remote by comparison to the Island in the Sky portion of the park, but we were able to appreciate the dark sky initiative and the quiet of our surroundings more in this more secluded portion of the park. There were fun stone outcroppings for the children to play on and the bathroom was clean and well-stocked. There were water-filling stations at the bathroom area. We hiked the Cave Springs trail with our young family (12, 7, 4, 2), and they did well. While on the trail, we saw two young owls settling down for a nap, and it was definitely a memorable experience!

Site 22 had a great tent pad with more shade than we thoughtand beautiful sunset views. The bathroom facilities were close and look really new, AND were very well-maintained. Not many sites, so very quiet. Will definitely be back again!

@SusanS9297654 · Camped on Jun 9, 2025 at Campsite #22

We spent nearly a month traveling from Kentucky all the way to the West Coast and back again. We saw many national and state parks, but Canyonlands was absolutely tops for all of us. The Needles district was so amazing, we will absolutely be back someday. Everything and everyone we encountered was phenomenal!

@StephenM951052 · Camped on May 26, 2025 at Campsite #22

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.

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

@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
