A forested campground near trout fishing, hiking, and mountain biking.

About this campground

Perched at about 6,800 feet on the edge of the Mount Nebo Wilderness and directly off the Nebo Loop Scenic Byway, Bear Canyon Campground opens onto a broad grassy meadow bordered by aspen and fir. Salt Creek runs along the campground's edge and is regularly fished for rainbow trout, while the Bear Canyon Trail begins at the entrance and provides immediate access for hikers, mountain bikers and horseback riders who want to follow canyon ridges into the wilderness.

“One of the most beautiful campsites I've ever stayed at, especially when the fall colors had come around when I was there. Reserving the site online made it so easy too! I will definitely come back to this campsite in the future.”

Bronson B 5 · Oct 2025 · Recreation.gov

“Beautiful area, way too many nasty cows.”
