We stayed one night in late October... wish it could have been longer! This two-loop campground is thoughtfully situated to blend into the natural surroundings. From a distance, you can barely make out any sign of life.
There are two loops (A and B) which have a total of 27 spots. A Loop stays open year around, but B will close for the winter months. In December, January and February, there are no camping fees charged, but this area is only for the most dedicated and prepared visitor. Even the National Park service Visitors Center closes up shop and most rangers are furloughed.
Our site had three large tent spots with rock edging and level sand. We could have fit several more vehicles on the paved and level parking pad. Vault toilets were clean and the camp host very friendly and helpful. There is no cell phone coverage at all.
Several short and long hikes take off from the trail head which is located within the campground. If the Visitor's Center is open, stop in and check out the resident raven. Very entertaining.
Canyonlands National Park is a place of extreme temperatures and doesn't see many visitors. July and August can be very hot (upwards of 115 degrees). The ranger also reported that the visitors center closes then too.
Keep an eye out for rock climbers along the Hwy 211 on the drive out to The Needles. When you spot clusters of cars and vans parked alongside the road, gaze way upward to base of the red rock chimneys. You'll spot the brightly colored clothing of these crazy athletes, risking all. But only if you have binoculars!
Chris&David would stay here again
