Great little campground with fantastic views. Sites have fire pits and picnic tables, there are a few pit toilets nearby and, it's about 10 minutes to the needles entrance and you can fill up on water in the park. Also lots of dispersed camping spots around.

Site 1 was amazing, although it’s tough to find a spot to stake your tent down, there are plenty of boulders/ rocks nearby to secure your tent. It’s 6 mi from the Needles visitor center.
