About Bear Canyon
Bear Canyon Campground is just off the Nebo Loop National Scenic Byway. The dominant vegetation consists of fir trees, aspen, open grass meadows and gamble oak. The campground is situated at the base of Mt. Nebo Wilderness with picnic tables, nearby hiking trails and open areas for group activities. Wildlife viewing is another popular activity in this area. There is no water available at this campground. Each campsite within Bear Canyon offers beautiful views of the surrounding Wasatch Range. Aspen and fir trees line the edges of the campground, which sits in a large grassy meadow. Few trees are located within the campsites, so shade is very limited.
