4F-03: Campground Host, Maple Grove Campground

The Maple Grove Campground is located west of Hwy 50 between the rural communities of Salina and Scipio Utah. Situated at the base of the Pahvant mountain range at 6000', the campground is nestled into the oak and maple trees with a beautiful view of the valley below. The mountains directly to the west of the campground soar almost vertically into sandstone cliff and rock outcroppings. Ivie Creek, a stream which runs through the campground, is stocked with catchable trout throughout the summer.

The host site is a single unit RV or tent site; it does not have water, power nor sewer hookups. The campground only has vault toilets and several water faucets scattered throughout. The largest city center for gas and groceries is Richfield, Utah, approximately 25 miles to the south and east. Access to the campground is on paved roads off of highway 50, and all of the roads in the campground are paved.

There are 20 single-unit sites in the lower loop, and 3 group sites in the upper loop. All single unit sites are first-come, first-served; the group units are available for reservation.

Volunteers would be responsible to ensure camp fees are paid and that the rules governing the use of the site are followed. Additionally, volunteers would keep the restrooms stocked with supplies and cleaned up in-between deep cleaning visits from the District recreation staff. Contacts with the public to highlight recreation opportunities are required.

A nominal reimbursement for daily subsistence may be provided. Personal trailers can be accommodated.

A friendly couple who are outgoing, enjoy the outdoors, and interact well with the public is desired. Ensuring the visitors to the campground have an enjoyable visit while being respectful of the facility and their neighbors is the goal.
