We saw 7 lizards on the Druid Arch hike. Not sure if I need to say more than that.

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!

Loop B Site 17 - speed bumps close to campsite - noise from cars / bumps

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.

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...

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!

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.

@MarcS2464307 · Camped on Jun 19, 2024 at Campsite #27

Beautiful campsite. There are no really bad sites in either loop. Some are slightly close together, but the majority are really spacious and share similar incredible views as well as proximity to great scrambling rocks. Bathrooms were always clean and the dishwashing station/water fill was always available. There are a couple RV fresh water stations if you drive around. These stations weren't located at the bathrooms, so my only regret is that I wish I had located them and filled up before setting up camp. The rangers stationed here were some of the best I have met. So friendly and patient with kids. The nightly ranger programs at the amphitheater are great, but they are really hard to pay attention to as the view behind the presenter is one of the best I have seen.

@RonaldB5973203 · Camped on Jun 14, 2024 at Campsite #21

Excelente la estada, los servicios y el sitio. Aunque casi no haba mucha sombra pero todo fue espectacular. Creo que volvera a ir y poder disfrutar de todo lo que tiene para ofrecer.

@LindaK3043012 · Camped on Jun 10, 2024 at Campsite #22

We had a very enjoyable visit at Canyonlands.The park Rangers were very helpful & friendly & helped to ensure we saw the beautiful scenery.We enjoyed all of the trails that we were able to walk. We attended a talk by one of the Rangers in the evening & she was very knowledgeable & interesting.

@MichaelE481757 · Camped on May 30, 2024 at Campsite #21

great trip!

@WolfgangM42016 · Camped on May 27, 2024 at Campsite #25B

Great place in a wonderful section of the park, very quiet, only a few sites. Clean restrooms w/ flush toilets, potable water available.You can start amazing hikes to e.g. Chesler Park directly from the campground. We love to come back. Greetings from Germany,

@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!!!
