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.

Camping with view

The view was unbelievable and worth the drive. Bathrooms need improvements but wasn't horrible . The store is great and you can rent things you might have forgotten. This is a passion project for them and it shows. So friendly!

Recommend!

We had a great time at the Needles Outpost! The location was perfect for us (just a few minutes from the south Canyonlands entrance and visitor center) and the availability of showers and ice for our cooler was a big perk. We really appreciated the strict rules around sound and generators- it made for a quiet campground and we could really enjoy the setting.

Amber’s land was awesome. There were so many campsites to choose from right next to some awesome rocks that we were able to climb on. Beautiful scenery of the dessert. I loved how there were actual showers, toilets and sinks. It was nice to freshen up after a long hike. Perfect campsite right in Canyonlands. Amber was accommodating to our needs and the store had all sorts of things needed for your camping experience.
