I was shocked at how awesome this little campground was. The bathrooms were the cleanest I've ever experienced camping. The sites were meticulously maintained. People were nice and the surroundings were unbelievable. I couldn't get a spot in Zion on a trip from LA to Montana, so I spent the extra time to get here and I couldn't be happier. The campsites were spread out and I just can't say enough about the site. It was just incredible.

Maple Canyon is a beautiful destination, especially for sport climbers. Besides thousands of rock climbs, there are also wonderful hiking trails for the day hiker. The toilets are kept clean and well stocked with toilet paper.

Excellent as always. A little logistically difficult with the road construction and it seemed there was poor communication as several other campers I spoke with were unaware of the construction and the requirement of us having to leave our campsite at 0800 which caused some confusion and frustration.

Normally our experience at Maple Canyon is good. However, this year, due to the road construction , our experience was one of inconvenience and uncertainty. Not knowing when or if we would have to vacate our site in order to "mag" our campsite spur added to the daily stress of deciding what to do each day (leave the canyon or stay put at our campsite) based on road closures and the weather since driving on a wet "magged" road is not advisable.
The final result of the road construction remains to be seen. When dry , the road appears to be hard packed and dust free, but with rain it turns into a muddy quagmire especially in the steeper sections adjoining campsites 1-16. In fact , when wet, the road conditions actually become hazardous due to poor traction , especially when coming down the road.
In general the road construction was poorly timed, poorly managed and poorly completed , which ruined the planned vacation of many campers and climbers.
