Location

Maple Grove Campground is one of those places where you wish you could stay for a month at a time! Built by the CCC, the campground is just below tall red cliffs and beautiful trees fill the entire area.  A creek called Ivie creek goes through the campground too.  It was only a 4 mile drive from the highway 50 turn.

Individual and Group Campsites Available

There are plenty of campsites for tents, RVs and group camping.

3 ADA accessible group sites are available with a maximum of 100 people per group site allowed.  There are picnic tables, fire rings, BBQ grills and water spigots for the group sites.

Reservations

Reservations are at a first come, first served basis except for the group sites which can be reserved in advance by going to www.recreation.gov

https://www.recreation.gov/camping/campgrounds/234302

or calling the National Reservation phone line at 1-877-444-6777.

You are only allowed to camp here for 14 consecutive days at a time.

Check-in and Check-out Time

Check in time is 2pm and check out time is also 2pm.

Available Amenities

There is no electricity, sewage dump or water hook ups for your RV.  However, there are potable water spigots spread around the campground.  Pit-style restrooms are also available too.

All camping units, group or single, have paved parking spurs.   There is no trash pick up so you will need to pack out your trash.  Clean up your spot before you head out too!  Make it nicer than how you found it!

ATVs are not allowed in the campground area.  If you have ATVs you could probably find some room to park them before the entrance gate.

You can find trails that wind around the campsite leading through the grassy meadows and under tall cottonwood, box elder, and oak trees.  Fall time was absolutely incredible with the many changes of colors!

When I came here I found a camp host in the first spot.

Even though it’s rare to see one, this is bear country.  So make sure to keep all your food and other items that omit odor (toothpaste, deodorant, etc.) in your car.

Jeff, do you know if dogs are allowed at this campground? To verify – the single-family tent spots are on a first come first serve basis, correct?
