Needles Outpost
Rustic camping a stone’s throw from Needles District. Unplug and escape to one of the quietest, most peaceful campgrounds in the country — unmatched stargazing, sweeping sunsets, and the kind of scenic peace that offers recentering and connection with family, friends, or yourself.

Pitch a tent, park a rig, or take the bell tent and let us do the setting up.
Tent & RV sites
Dry camping with room to spread out. You pick your own spot when you arrive.
The Mo’Rockin Bell Tent
A queen bed on a frame, not on the ground. A fire pit, a picnic table, and one of the best sites we have — tree shade at the base of the red rocks.
The group site
Sleeps up to fifteen, depending on how you arrange it.

World Class Stargazing
Whether you are into astrophotography, chasing a meteor shower, or just want to see what the Milky Way actually looks like, we have some of the darkest skies in the country.

Expansive views of the Needles skyline, and the closest camping to the park — which means easy morning access to Chesler Park, Lost Canyon, Elephant Hill, Druid Arch and everything else the park has to offer.
Camping is open 1 March to 20 November. Spring and fall weekends book up early.
