Maples Campground

Uinta Wasatch Cache National Forest UT-39, Huntsville, UT 84317

Nestled along the banks of the South Fork Ogden River at 5,300 feet elevation, Lower Meadows Campground offers one of the most spacious camping experiences in Utah's scenic Ogden Valley. Just nine miles from Huntsville, this riverside retreat stands out for its generously spaced sites separated by tall, thick grass, creating a sense of privacy that's increasingly rare in public campgrounds. Cottonwoods and willows provide natural shade and frame the South Fork as it flows alongside the camping area, while moose and deer occasionally wander through, reminding visitors they're sharing space with the valley's wild residents. The campground features 17 single sites and 6 double sites, each equipped with picnic tables and fire rings—everything you need for classic campfire cooking and evening gatherings. Vault restrooms are distributed throughout the property for convenience. While you won't find flush toilets, showers, or hookups here, the trade-off is a more natural setting that feels genuinely remote despite being less than 10 miles from town. The spacious layout means you're not camping on top of your neighbors, making this an excellent choice for families or groups seeking both community and solitude. Recreation opportunities abound both at the campground and nearby. The South Fork Ogden River provides immediate access to fishing, swimming, and tubing (life jackets required for tubers), while Causey Reservoir lies just four miles east, offering excellent canoeing, fishing, and additional hiking and biking trails. The broader Ogden Valley region opens up even more possibilities: Pineview Reservoir is a short drive away for boating and water sports, Highway 39 continues east to Monte Cristo Summit with sweeping mountain vistas, and numerous ATV and horseback riding trails crisscross the surrounding mountains. Whether you're content to spend lazy days by the river or want to explore every trail and waterway in the area, you'll find plenty to fill your days. Reservations are managed through Recreation.gov online or by calling 877-444-6777. Be aware of the cancellation policies: a $10 service fee applies to all cancellations, and late cancellations (day before or day of arrival) will cost you both the service fee and your first night's use fee. No-shows incur a $20 fee plus forfeiture of the first night's fee. Holders of Senior or Access interagency passes receive discounts on individual campsites (though not on double sites or additional fees). Given the campground's popularity and proximity to both Huntsville and Ogden, booking well in advance during summer months is strongly recommended.
