Overview

Gooseberry Group Campground is located on an aspen-covered hillside above Gooseberry Reservoir, at an elevation of 8,500 feet. Visitors enjoy fishing and canoeing on the small reservoir and exploring area trails.

Recreation

Gooseberry Reservoir, which is visible from several sites, offers good cutthroat and rainbow trout fishing, as well as canoeing. The Great Western Trail runs near the campground, offering excellent opportunities for hiking, biking and off-road vehicle riding.

Facilities

The campground offers group campsites equipped with picnic tables and fire rings. Vault toilets and drinking water are provided. Garbage collection facilities are not available, requiring visitors to pack out all trash.

A well-maintained dirt road leads to the campground, providing relatively easy access for cars and RVs alike.

Natural Features

The campground lies within a grove of aspens that is dotted with mature fir trees, in a valley high on the Wasatch Plateau. Some campsites are sunny with little tree cover, while some have ample shade. Sagebrush, grasses and summer wildflowers fill the scenic valley.

We loved our stay at the campground. Ended up mostly having the place to ourselves. Bathrooms were clean, water was fresh, cold and delicious. Saw lots of wildlife. Multiple deer walking through and around our camp. Saw a beaver and pelicans down in the river. Caught lots of fish at the reservoir. Would stay again.

I didn’t realize from the pictures that this group site is just off the road and close to other single sites. There were atvs going up and down the loop most of the day. Great view of the lake and lots of trees.

quiet little campground. Book early to get a spot. The reservoir is perfect for canoeing or kayaking. It is a yearly camping trip!!

The campsites are beautiful and the bathroom facilities are usually pretty decent. Views are amazing and easy to hike down to the river. Easy, short drive over to the reservoir. We booked campsites 7 and 8 thinking they were next to each other. They are not, for future reference for those looking to camp with friends, best way to do it is to book 6 and 7 or 8 and 9. There is no Verizon signal. The reason I’m taking off a star is that the campsites have been invaded by spiky weeds that we had to keep the kids away from all weekend.
