Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Nebo Loop Road accessible for RVs and when does it open for the season?

Nebo Loop Road has some areas that can accommodate RVs, though larger rigs may find certain sections challenging due to narrow passages and tight turns. The road typically opens for the season when snow has melted, usually in late spring (May-June), depending on winter snowpack and spring conditions. Weather dictates both opening and closing dates, with the road generally closing in late fall when snow returns. For the most current road status and conditions, check with the local Forest Service office before planning your trip.

How far is camping on the Nebo Loop from Nephi, Utah?

Camping on the Nebo Loop is approximately 15-20 miles from Nephi, Utah, with the exact distance depending on which specific camping area you choose along the loop. The drive from Nephi typically takes about 30-45 minutes, factoring in the winding mountain roads and changes in elevation. Nephi serves as a convenient supply point for campers, offering groceries, fuel, and other necessities before heading up to the more remote camping areas along the scenic byway.
