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!

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.

@chads1663816 · Camped on Oct 12, 2024 at Campsite #18

Site offered a tremendous amount of space to spread out and enjoy the experience in the park.

@SophieT3746215 · Camped on Aug 27, 2024 at Campsite #21

Beautiful campground! The sites were large and private. The bathrooms were well-stocked and there was drinking water. A great hiking trail took off directly from the campground.

@GaetanPA1D90B3 · Camped on Aug 23, 2024 at Campsite #23

Magique !

@EmeterioR9378C · Camped on Aug 18, 2024 at Campsite #21

This is a beautiful campground in a beautiful National Park. The sites are spacious and you have ample space between neighboring sites. It is so quiet here and you can get to many trails quite easily. This is one of our favorite campgrounds.

@TeresaC3126082 · Camped on Aug 18, 2024 at Campsite #25B

Magnificent area, one of our favorite National parks. We were fortunate to secure a spot in the Needles district since there are not a lot of rv sites. It was perfect.

@LawrenceW87932 · Camped on Aug 15, 2024 at Campsite #25

I think it was mostly our fault that we didn't realize that the Needles District Visitor Center was like more than two hours away from the Island in the Sky Visitor Center. Our GPS just took us to Island in the Sky. We arrived when it was getting dark, and then realized that we were at the wrong Campground from our reservation. It was God's grace that a group from France let us share their campsite for that night. That campsite, in the Island in the Sky campground, was quite nice and we appreciated it...

@ChristinHE8BD6 · Camped on Aug 7, 2024 at Campsite #27

Incredible campground and park. We went in August and the campground was very quiet. We were in site 27 and it was perfect. No other campers were close and there was beautiful rock scrambling on all sides. The views were spectacular. When we were there in August, there were rain showers every afternoon and that cooled things off. The bathrooms are clean and have water, but no power. Would return here in a heartbeat. Zero cell reception. Water was potable but tastes funky. We ended up buying bottled gallons at the visitor center. Just outside the park there is a private campground where you can buy ice. That's about 20 minutes from our campsite. Spectacular hikes!

@MatthewK865533 · Camped on Jul 13, 2024 at Campsite #23

It was not very clean and the lights did not work. The spot was beautiful.

@MollieN914213A · Camped on Jul 11, 2024 at Campsite #23

Great little campground. Clean, well stocked bathrooms. Little shade for most of the day. Water fill station available.

@MartineSECB75C · Camped on Jul 9, 2024 at Campsite #20

This campground is just exceptionnal! Intimacy, large space, quiet....well, everything you want when you go to such places!! Site 19 is very nice, with large tente spaces, mostly shaded,and only 2 other sites nearby (which were not occupied during our stay, even though reserved). One of our best camping experiences during our travel around the Western US!

@TwincyN6AD730D · Camped on Jul 4, 2024 at Campsite #22

Restrooms were clean and site was easily accessible

@christine15267 · Camped on Jun 28, 2024 at Campsite #26

I loved this campground because the spots were relatively spaced at a good distance from each other. Modern bathroom with a utility sink. This site had a little cave/slot canyon behind it, excellent for little explorers!

@JonathanH88369 · Camped on Jun 25, 2024 at Campsite #25B

Great campground with a beautiful view from the mountain.

@SusanH8664991 · Camped on Jun 23, 2024 at Campsite #19

Wonderful campsite, right under the beautiful rocks.

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

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
