Camp Maple Dell

Camp Maple Dell is a campground in Payson Canyon near the Wasatch Range, featuring multiple campsites, covered pavilions, and outdoor recreation facilities. The forested grounds include designated areas for different activities and group sizes.

The campground was established in 1945 as a permanent location for youth development activities in Utah County. It has grown and been maintained as a regional camping center over the following decades.

The campground hosts an annual Invention Convention where young participants develop engineering skills through hands-on projects and technical challenges.

The grounds include water pumps, shower houses, flushing toilets, fire pits, and a camp store open during summer. Visitors should prepare for changeable mountain weather conditions and bring layers of warm clothing.

The site offers visitors frequent encounters with local wildlife, particularly deer moving through camping areas during early morning and evening hours. This natural proximity to animals makes each visit a distinctive outdoor experience.
