Over 100 and I had the place to myself. Cloudy at night so no astrophotography. Nice and shady in the campsite. Been here before and I really like it b

We loved the campsites! Spacious and backed up to rock overhangs. However, it was very hot during our stay (107) and sleeping was difficult with no electric hookups.
One thing we were unaware of is the inability to travel within the park from the Needles District to Island in the Sky. To travel from one part of the park to the other required driving through Moab (1.5 - 2 hours).

Sites were well maintained and in a lovely location. Felt very natural to be part of the park.

Campground B is great and has some shaded spots. There are porta-potties but also bathrooms with flushing toilets and sinks. Great hikes right off the campground as well. Be aware that from the Needles District, Moab is a 90 min drive one way. There is a great outpost for food and snacks, but that is your only option.

Had a nice little campsite with some shade and a proper tent pad (so stakes could be used instead of rocks!). Pit toilet was clean and drinking water was available. No complaints.
