"Needles Ca Lodge 1608. 9 sites with 30/50 amp service, water and sewer. Lodge open 3pm to 7pm 7 days. Very friendly lodge. Great overnight stop. It is $10 for dry camping and $30 for full hookups. As the low at night was 80 degrees, I was thankful for the full hookups! It is FCFS and you pay the bartender. The lodge is not far from the freeway in a residential neighborhood. Very quiet night."
