# The Needles Outpost Campground

> Human version: https://campertunity.com/listings/campgrounds/needles-outpost-campground-monticello-ut-2

**[United States](https://campertunity.com/listings/campgrounds/in/united-states) › [Utah](https://campertunity.com/listings/campgrounds/in/united-states/utah) › [Monticello](https://campertunity.com/listings/campgrounds/in/united-states/utah/monticello)**

This Outpost and campground is located on 300 acres of private property surrounded by park and public land\. It has been here for over 30 years in some form or another\. We are Caleb & Amber who enjoyed managing this little oasis in the middle of the desert from March to June of 2017 when we decided to purchase the business & make it our own\. This is a dry, rugged campground with a bathhouse that provides coin operated showers and flush toilets\. In addition there is little old rustic camp store placed in the middle of nowhere where we provide fuel, snacks, firewood, ice, showers, cold drinks & more\. If you are looking for a more private site with lots of space and shade, book our Small Group at the Rocks\. For a warmer stay during the cooler months book one of our Glamping Tents listed\. We have the larger, and spacious tent in the grove of the Juniper Trees \(which is also amazing in the warmer season\) and rent a heater from us inside the general/camp store\. Please check with us on fire restrictions, hipcamp is often wrong on their assumptions, we rarely have fire restrictions\. BE SURE TO GIVE YOURSELF PLENTY OF TIME TO CHECK IN NO LATER THAN 5PM\. THANK YOU\!\! DON'T FORGET TO TAKE A SCREEN SHOT OF THE DIRECTIONS HERE, YOU WILL LOSE SERVICE ON YOUR WAY\.

From her first words,  \"Welcome to Hipcamp!\", to our sweet, shady campsite among the trees near the cliffs, to the night sky, it was fabulous. Amber creates a peaceful, calm atmosphere where everyone can enjoy the beauty of this special place. Even campers' dogs were quiet and calm! We met campers from around the world, were super close to Needles (views, hikes) and Amber had suggestions for spots and hikes to check out. I highly recommend! "
