The Needles Campground sits in the southeast corner of Canyonlands National Park at about 4,900 feet, amid stands of Utah juniper and pinyon pine and the colorful spires of Cedar Mesa Sandstone that give the district its name. The site is small and intentionally simple: there are 11 campsites total, seven designated for both RVs and tents and four tent-only sites. Each individual site includes a picnic table, a fire ring and access to drinking water and flush toilets; there are no electric hookups, no showers and no dump station, and the maximum vehicle length allowed is 28 feet.

Tracy T ★ 5 · Oct 2025What a beautiful park and unique campground. We really enjoyed our stay here. The campground was quiet, hosts were pleasant, bathrooms clean with access to water/dish cleaning/fish toilets. It was great to be away from the crowds at the other end of the park. It did not disappoint.
Jace I ★ 5 · Oct 2025Unspeakably good Let the campsite do the talking Do not litter in there!!!
Holly J ★ 4 · Oct 2025The Needles district in Canyonlands is beautiful! It is remote, quiet and serene. We were so glad we made it out there on our trip. We took the Slickrock hike before sunset which I highly recommend. There are some great overlooks of the canyons along the way. The hike is about 2.5 miles and is a loop is is easy to do. The campground itself was small and very quiet. It was convenient for us to stay in the park, so we were happy to do so. However, our spot wasn't the best, it was parallel to the road and was quite sloped. We had to 'nose in' our RV and use blocks to level. But, really not a big deal. Go to the Needles district, you'll love it!
