While Apple Maps can get you to the park without a signal, you will not be able to use it to get back.

If you downloaded the map ahead of time, as you can with Google Maps, you could use it to find your way back. But what happens if your destination doesn’t have a signal? Let’s say you drive to a national park. With any map app, you’ll need cellular service to set up a route. If you have bad service along the way, you can still use Apple Maps, though you won’t be able to add a pitstop or see traffic. It does, however, cache your destination and save the route until you get there.
