Best Glamping near Blanding, UT

We came across Needles Outpost on our road trip across southern Utah. After some nights of dispersed camping, this was a welcome treat. The camping grounds were pleasantly spaced and we did not feel like we were on top of other campers. Amber, owner of the site, was absolutely wonderful and we enjoyed stopping into the outpost to chat with her. Amber had a store with crucial essentials that you may need, firewood (which was thick logs that go a long way!), gas for when you’re in an absolute pinch (nearest gas station is 30-40 miles away), and bathroom with showers (must purchase tokens, similar to NP sites). We did one night staying at site 4 and a night in one of Ambers canvas (glamping) tents. Both were extremely well kept and had beautiful surroundings. The sunsets over Canyonlands NP and the star gazing were outstanding and alone made the stay worth every penny. If we ever find ourselves back in the needles region of Canyonlands, Needles Outpost will be our overnight stay.

I stayed two nights on my road trip from El Paso to Provo. I wanted to explore southeastern Utah. Great campsite but a little far from Moab—about 60 miles. I’d probably stay closer to Moab next time even though it’s cooler and forested at the campground, which was peaceful. I reserved site 28 on Recreation.gov. I drove past several BLM and NF campgrounds en route to Canyonlands NP Needles unit through the NF road and then BLM land. As of Aug. 26, 2020 there was what looked like potable water from the spigot. I drank it fine. The bathrooms were clean. The Blanding Visitor Center guide recommended the Bulldog area for biking and wildlife, but I mainly saw cows down there and had a tough ride uphill.

Much fuller and more crowded than 3 yrs ago when we visited. Took only place we found, closer to the dock and more traffic than preferred but still beautiful.

This place was perfect I had access to trees and a big lake and no one around!

We decided not to stay. There were swarms of mosquitoes

A quick visit. Pulled in late and no problems finding a level spot by the water.

Was quiet and convienent to the local town. No signal but there is some at the bottom of the entrance.

WARNING: if you don't have an off-road capable vehicle don't listen to the GPS, it took us down a super sketchy back road. If you're coming from the North, go further down and use Radio Hill Rd to access this site.

We stopped here in the off-season.  Very, very quiet with great views of lake and mountains.

Large site very close to the water. We paddle boarded in the reservoir and jumped off a few rocks. We stayed 2 nights.

We stayed at this campsite for one night on our way back to Phoenix from Denver and it is almost exactly half way in between (roughly 6.5 hours from either location) Exactly as expected. Site 28 was calm quiet and had 2 spots for Tents. We used the bigger of the two tent spots and set up a 6 person tent overlooking a heavily forested area.

We needed a stop before our travels to Colorado. What a gem! Beautiful sites and so quiet. And with our Senior pass (federal national parks) the cost was $10! We didn’t have a reservation but there were many sites open.

Quiet spot. Plenty of spots on a Saturday afternoon. Metal picnic tables, fire pits, paved parking spots.

Just stayed one night but the site/roads had been recently repaved and park was being updated. Tall pines, good hiking and quiet surroundings made for a good overnight stay.

I'm not sure if the CG host ever came by, but our reserved site had our name on it, no problem, and all the sites seemed well spread out.  There was an RV in a site across the paved access road, but the CG was not at all full and the only nearby noise came from an occasional vehicle entering or leaving the camping area.  The area is open pine forest and the camping sites all sit above the main highway, US-191.  We heard a few cars driving by during the night, but not many.   I'd be happy to stay here again.

A nice respite after the crowds of the national monuments and parks. Quiet and sparsely used while we were here. A small amount of highway noise from 191 but very occasional. Deer wandering through in the evenings. Water spigots throughout campground allow for filling of water jugs. A few spaces for larger rigs and plenty for smaller rigs.

Great place right off the state route 191 going towards Moab from the south.

Stayed five days here. It was divided nicely between tents and RVs. That made it so the tent side was quieter. Vault toilet was very clean. Lots of wildlife in the area.

Great campground. Very clean and quiet when I was there. Vault toilets were clean. RVs well separated from tents, so that made it quieter (not hearing generators). Turkeys and deer in area. Supposedly there are bears, but I didn't see them. Decent cell coverage for Verizon.

Nice and quiet. Clean and well kept. Very nice campground host.

Campground full so we stayed in BLM Grantsfaff in the river. Really hot but it is in June!

Beautiful campground. About an hour south of Moab, but several nice Jeep trails just up the mountain from the campground. The showers are difficult to find (we ended up not using them). Supposedly you have to go to the gas station, pay $5 for the code to the RV park, and then shower there. Seemed a bit sketch. The description made it sound like the showers were free. Nice secluded spots, if you have a tent, look at the pictures first. Some spots don't have a good spot to set up a tent. Nice big picnic tables that are cemented to the ground.

This is one of my favorite sites. I loved how you can camp right on the red rock. It was breath taking. I'm wishing I was there again just writing this review. There was water and electrical hook ups as well as an outhouse but really the whole ambiance of the site is why you should come. This is one of the few sites that ive been to that I would almost rather stay at my site and enjoy the view than drive around and find a view. Ive told all my friends if they ever consider going to this area to check out this campground. A.MAZE.ING.
