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

Lovely campground, new restroom and dishwashing station, close to hiking trails

This was my first return to the Needles District Campground in Canyonlands National Park in about 25 years, and I was pleased to find it was a wonderful as I remembered it to be. We were grateful to take advantage of a late cancellation to book a two-night stay on short notice. The only complaints I had about our specific campsite (23 B) was that one sheltered tent pad was too small for our 2-person REI Half-Dome tent and the other, larger, tent pad was located out in the open, near the road, and without shade or a windbreak. But it was adequate for our needs and since we visited in late October the lack of shade wasn't an issue. This campground makes for an excellent "base camp" from which to do day hikes - either from the Elephant Hill Trailhead, or the campground itself. We enjoyed the strenuous 10.8 mile round trip hike to Druid Arch from the Elephant Hill Trailhead, which took us about 6 3/4 hour to complete with rest stops. The last quarter mile or so was quite challenging, with significant vertical gain, and a short slickrock "chute" with just enough pitch and exposure to make us think twice about continuing on. But we kept our weight over our boots and scrambled on up and through the chute to the next challenge - the ladder and handrail (which was much less daunting than the chute) - that lead us to the upper reaches of the trail and stunning views of this unusual and spectacular arch. As expected, the hike back to the trailhead was significantly easier than the hike in to the arch - even the slickrock chute seemed less daunting on the way down - and we made it back to our truck with about a half hour of daylight left. A great, exhausting, but very fun and scenic day. Highly recommended in the cooler weather of Fall. (I wouldn't even attempt it in Summer due to the heat and exposure.)Great campground. Wonderful hikes.

Very pretty campground. Needs to add a shower.

Remote campground, at edge of the desert beautiful and quiet. Note minor, 1 day issue with water system, some maintenance issue cause discoloration . This required several comments from campers to the volunteer campground host who tried very hard to get information and updates. Maintenance should do a better job of informing folks prior to contamination of water supply.

I had three nights at this super camp. The location is at the end of the park, very quiet, very clean, every location is designed for comfort, the trail entrance is also nearby, the toilets are very clean, it should be ranked among the top few national parks I have been to. I will miss this super national park giving it five stars.

Campsite was great, but not especially private. Bathrooms were clean, but not lighted (thankfully I had a headlamp).

My greatest disappointment is the length of time it took to get a reservation, only to find that there were no other campers. Also, the ridiculous rule that I cannot ride my unlicensed motorcycle on the roads within the national park. I won't return to national parks because of what I believe is a flawed reservation system and too many use restrictions.

Campsite was lovely. Quiet, private. Many nearby hikes through spectacular scenery. My one question is why are there so few campsites in the Needles area? If there were more, more people could enjoy the park and reservations would not be so difficult to make.

@PHILIPW328 · Camped on May 15, 2021 at Campsite #24

There are some beautiful campsites here. The scenery is spectacular.

@RonaldT646 · Camped on Apr 8, 2021 at Campsite #24

Reservation sites, Loop B, are all small and close to the road. The Loop A sites are first come and much better. They are larger and will fit most RVs and also have tent pads at each site. It makes no sense that the best campsites are first come only.
