DP1 Campground

Great location, particularly if you plan on staying during the summer months. The campsite is protected by huge sandstone fins on both sides, so you will have shade for 90% of the day. The only drawback is that it creates a bit of wind thru the campsite. This isn't ideal in early spring or late fall, but otherwise it's great. It's also very close to Devils Kitchen, so you can walk over and play around in the kitchen (or use the bathrooms, which is a plus). Walking around the big rocks where the campsite is, you will find a great view to the west, perfect for watching the sunset. You will also have complete isolation as there are no other backcountry sites anywhere near here.

This campground is ths WORST. In fact The Needles district is the WORST. It's dirty and full of creepy animals that sleep under you at night to steal your warmth. The hike in is a billion miles and there is 0-0.1 percent chance of survival. Do not go here. Ever. Go to Arches. There are bathrooms and robes and slippers and catered dinners.

Amazing place to set your tent and experience the unique landscape of canyonlands on your own!
