About Maple Bench Campground

Tucked away along the spectacular Nebo Loop Scenic Byway, Maple Bench Campground offers an intimate escape where dramatic canyon views and profound tranquility converge. This hidden gem invites you to disconnect from the digital world and reconnect with the rhythms of nature in a peaceful mountain setting that feels worlds away from everyday life.
Geological RegionMaple Bench Campground claims one of the most enviable locations in the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest, where the earth drops away dramatically into Peteetneet Creek canyon below. This remarkable setting showcases the raw geological power of the Mount Nebo Wilderness Area's alpine terrain, where millions of years of uplift and erosion have carved a landscape of breathtaking beauty and complexity.
