The Needles Campground — Canyonlands National Park

Great campground. It wasn’t crowded in August. We had a lot of space and not many people around.

Very beautiful but beware the lack of shade! I found A2 to have the best afternoon shade by far. My site was B27.

Fairly deserted due to the extreme heat. Novice hikers should be EXTREMELY careful as most of the trails are really not for beginners. Footholds in rockfaces, ladders and creative climbing seems to be the norm.

Park is very well maintained and let’s be real…just plain stunning.
