Campground B offers quite variable experiences, depending on the shade availability and how the site is set up. We had campers who were very close to us, but fortunately quite courteous in their level of activity. Having a flush toilet and running water so close to our site was a luxury. The bathroom and water station facility was extremely clean and styled well to blend into the surroundings. Being able to start many hikes from the campground is another big advantage. Most sites appear very level and the tent pads are well constructed, several with more than one tent site. This campground is a "must" to try to get reservations.

Remote campground, at edge of the desert beautiful and quiet. Note minor, 1 day issue with water system, some maintenance issue cause discoloration . This required several comments from campers to the volunteer campground host who tried very hard to get information and updates. Maintenance should do a better job of informing folks prior to contamination of water supply.

The camp host was extremely helpful to us. I believe her name was Joanna. The friend I was camping with had an accident while hiking. She helped us with his injuries and gave us directions to Moab hospital. It was obvious from her interactions with us and the other campers that she is extremely professional and helpful. You couldn't have a better person in her job.
The camp site very beautiful, quiet, and well maintained.

The Needles District Campground, Loop B was a great location with very clean facilities. Clean pit toilets, available water pumps and larger main restrooms with water faucets and comfortable facilities. Kind and informative camp hosts and interesting ranger talks at the amphitheater.

A campground needs a dump station. A remote park needs much better communications than what the Needles area has.

25b gave us a front row seat to the night sky. Also close to trailheads. Felt like we were in the backcountry with frontcountry amenities.

Great campgrounds. Well maintained, remote, not too busy. Several trails close by, highly recommend the Lost Canyon trail. Stargazing is amazing! Water available but bring in your firewood, we didn’t see wood for sale anywhere in the needles district and closest town is 40 min drive one way.
