Popular Place

We drove through here looking for a place to stay on a Saturday. All the sites were taken, seems to be a popular area for rock climbers. 

Nice campground, sites were nicely spread out and we would have liked to stay here if there had been space.   

Spotty cell service. 

Self pay, $15/night.  14 day limit.  2 vehicle limit per site.

Vault toilets. 

No garbage - please pack it out with you.

Gravel roads, and road in was pretty washboarded. 

Beautiful area.

Good spot close to the Needles District

This was a pretty good campground, $15 a night. Most of the other campers there seemed to be climbers. It’s close to the Needles Entrance of Canyonlands NP. Each site had space for at least two cars, picnic tables. Easy to access with my Nissan Versa. No Verizon coverage.
