To the North I see headstones, but to my surprise - no grass, no dirt, and no clay.
To the South is the smallest you probably can't visit, then nothing for a very long way.
To the West is a garden fit for the gods with very few things that decay.
To the East is a needle that cannot be threaded and needs very few letters to say.
They say outside where I came from, there are none larger.

My guess is that you are
The Nile River in Egypt (and other parts of Africa)
To the North I see headstones, but to my surprise - no grass, no dirt, and no clay.
The pyramids can be thought of as headstones, with Giza being near the northern part of the Nile. They are in the desert, no grass, dirt or clay.
To the South is the smallest you probably can't visit, then nothing for a very long way.
The source of the Nile (the White Nile by that point) is still not certain and there is jungle wilderness south of that
To the West is a garden fit for the gods with very few things that decay.
This may refer to the Valley of the Kings, where Kings were preserved and entombed
To the East is a needle that cannot be threaded and needs very few letters to say.
A needle is another name for an Obelisk and the Luxor (5 letters) Obelisk is east of the Nile in Luxor
They say outside where I came from, there are none larger.
The Nile is often called the largest river, though some sources say the Amazon may be.

I think
you are a camel in the desert in the middle east somewhere, but I don't know why and I might be wrong... -- no grass, dirt or clay could mean sand... the needle that cannot be threaded reminds me of the quote 'passing a camel through the eye of the needle' -- sorry this is as far as I have got with it and don't understand everything and may just be wrong!

That is not exactly the place the first clue is pointing to, though you're thinking along the right lines.

BTW - I think one of your puzzles started me thinking about this format of puzzle, which I hope to work into a series if this one is popular. I saw your teapot-like puzzle that said something about "to the north" and that started me thinking about it. I can't seem to find it now, but I'm pretty sure it was yours. So full credit for the spark of an idea!
