Wind Whistle Group Campsites
Windwhistle Campground serves as headquarters for the 100,000 acre Canyon Rims Recreation Area.  It is also near the Needles Section of Canyonlands National Park. The group site at Windwhistle nestles against Rone Bailey Mesa, a large sandstone monolith.  Views to the north are outstanding, and include Behind the Rocks and the LaSal Mountains. Nighttime brings the best stargazing opportunities in the state of Utah. Remote yet convenient, the Windwhistle Group Campsite offers a very private setting for your group. 

How to Get There:   From Moab, travel 32 miles south on U.S. Highway 191 to a sign that says “Needles Overlook” and “Canyon Rims Recreation Area”.  (This turnoff is 20 miles north of Monticello on U.S. Highway 191).  Turn west and proceed six miles on a paved road to the campground (tent) sign.  Turn left into the campground.
