About

Maple Bench is a small, quiet and peaceful campground. It is perched on a dramatic camp overlooking the Nebo Loop Scenic Byway, at an elevation of 5,800 feet. Tents and very small campers work best at this campground. 10 rustic camp sites are available with picnic and serving tables and campfire rings with grills. Vault restroom facilities are available. White fir, Pinyon Pine and Gambel Oak grow in an open forest that provides shade and shelter for sites. The campgrounds unusual position isn't apparent when you first drive in to place. However an abrupt edge drops-off into the deep canyon carved be Peteetneet Creek. Views from this drop-off look all the way down the valley to the distant town of Payson. The Mount Nebo Wilderness Area is adjacent, brimming with beautiful mountain scenery, pristine waters, abundant wildlife, vibrant wildflowers and numerous trail opportunities. The Nebo Loop Scenic Byway stretches 37 miles through high alpine terrain, dense forests and colorful meadows. Devils Kitchen Geological Area can be found along the loop. It offers a 1/2 mile round trip trail to interesting red rock hoodoos. Rainbow and brook trout fishing are popular in the creek below the campground. Canoeing, floating and kayaking are enjoyed on the calm waters of Maple Lake only a half mile from the campground. Red Lake trail leaves from the upper camping areas by the lake.
