ProviderAbout Maples Campground
Adventure seekers will find a true backcountry experience at this primitive camping area north of Snowbasin Ski Resort. What was once the developed Maples Campground has returned to nature—amenities like picnic tables, fire rings, and restrooms are gone, but the wilderness remains. Access requires a half-mile journey on foot, bicycle, or horseback from the gate, and campers must set up at least 200 feet from the trail to preserve the natural landscape.
Formal campground infrastructure has been removed; the public may still camp in the area but must do so away from the trail and access is non-motorized only.
Natural Features and SceneryNestled in the rugged terrain north of Snowbasin Ski Resort, this primitive camping area offers an authentic mountain escape where a scenic trail winds directly through the landscape. The location provides a gateway to backcountry exploration, where the sounds of civilization fade away and the alpine environment takes center stage. While specific natural features aren't documented, the area's proximity to the ski resort suggests classic Wasatch Mountain scenery with forested slopes and mountain vistas awaiting those willing to venture beyond the trailhead.
