I got a sweet parking spot and spent the night. I got an excellent recommendation for a hike (Wooden Spoon Big Creek) from the camp hosts who were very helpful and friendly. And the bathrooms were immaculate and sparkling clean! Overall an amazing experience.

Needles is one of my favorite campgrounds. Have stayed here three times, always a great experience. Plenty of space between sites allows for privacy and peace. Clean restrooms with running water. Great hiking trails, close to Elephant Hill. Love camping here, will return soon.

Site 22 is excellent. It has a shaded area against the rocks to keep cool during the heat of the day and two tent pad sites. It's easy to scramble up on nearby rocks for sunset views and is a short walk from the B Loop trailhead. Hiking from the trailhead over the rocks to A loop is quicker than walking the road. You can also deviate south to the cable route, gap and views, and down into Big Spring Canyon.

Great site (#25), very friendly and helpful camp host (Julianne). Only one hiccup with the restrooms due to a broken pipe, otherwise a great stay

- Loop A sites are first come, first served, especially busy in spring and fall.
Cancellation policy
- Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
- Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
