100% of recent Hipcampers say the sites felt private.
This property was used by the Shoshone Indian tribe as a summer camp area. Later after the pioneers came they set up a dance floor and had parties here. The dance floor has since overgrown. This property has also been the host to never dams. It has been in our family for many years and we have enjoyed it. Learn more about this land: The campsites are located in a wooded area so lots of shade. 2 sites are creek side along maple creek and the other has a small stream and a pond. All sites have a fire pit available. All sites are carry in carry out. Easily accessible with a four wheel drive. You will need to cross maple creek to reach site 1. The road down to the river bottoms is a bit steep so 4 wheel drive is recommended. This area is ideal for tent camping.

Maple Creek River Bottoms offers a wonderfully secluded camping experience, with its beautiful and spacious sites tucked away in nature. Most campers appreciate the sense of privacy, the lush surroundings, and the soothing sounds of the creek. However, the steep and sometimes muddy access road means a 4WD vehicle is often recommended. Despite occasional challenges with road conditions and local wildlife, the campsite remains a favored spot for those seeking a peaceful retreat.

Great weekend
Fun spot to spend a weekend! Secluded and beautiful. We stayed in site 4 which was great but site 1 and 3 would have been nice as well!

We recently stayed at this campsite and had an amazing time! The site was very spacious and beautifully maintained, making it perfect for our family. The little stream was a hidden gem that our kids absolutely loved playing in. The surroundings were stunning, and we even spotted a deer, which was a highlight for our son. Despite not having a 4-wheeler, we brought our e-bike and had so much fun exploring the area. The campsite felt very private, and we were pleasantly surprised by how clean the toilet facilities were—it was clear that the owners take great care of the place. Although it was a bit tricky to find at first, the owners were incredibly kind and helped us get in. We all had a fantastic time and can’t wait to come back!

We absolutely loved everything about this place! It was large enough for our family and friends. The area is beautiful. Close enough to town if you need anything but still feels like camping. We will definitely be going back again!

Tucked away and surrounded by trees
This is our second time here. We love the quick access and the pretty scenery. We would definitely recommend this spot for those looking for something relaxing and pretty fast to get to. Thanks Ken!
