# Canyonlands National Park Needles District Group Campsites

> Human version: https://campertunity.com/listings/campgrounds/drinking-water-available-1-1

**[United States](https://campertunity.com/listings/campgrounds/in/united-states)**

The Needles District group campsites are located in the southern portion of Canyonlands National Park, named for the colorful spires of Cedar Mesa Sandstone that define this remote area\. Three group sites—Dutch Oven, Split Top, and Wooden Shoe—accommodate groups in a high desert environment characterized by slick rock, sand, Utah Juniper, and Pinyon Pine forests\. Sites have limited services and are best suited to tents and small, self\-contained campers and RVs\. The Needles District's extensive trail system provides opportunities for day hikes and overnight backpacking trips, with foot trails and four\-wheel\-drive roads leading to Confluence Overlook, Druid Arch, the Joint Trail, and Chesler Park\. The area sits at approximately 4,900 feet elevation in an arid environment with hot summers and cold winters\. Spring brings flowering prickly pear cacti, yucca, and desert wildflowers that add vivid color to the red rock landscape\. The campground is located 1\.5 hours from Moab and 1\.25 hours from Monticello via Utah Highway 211, which is the only paved road into the district\. There are no lights on park roads or at campsites, and it's highly recommended to arrive before dark if unfamiliar with the area\. No cell coverage is available in this remote location\.
