Overview

Gooseberry Reservoir Campground is located in a scenic mountain valley in an open meadow next to Gooseberry Reservoir. It is situated at an elevation of 8,400 feet. Visitors enjoy canoeing and fishing on the small reservoir and exploring area trails.

Recreation

The reservoir offers good cutthroat and rainbow trout fishing, as well as canoeing. It is open to hand-powered watercraft only, and no boat ramp is available on the lake.

The Great Western Trail runs next to the campground, offering excellent opportunities for hiking, biking and off-road vehicle riding. Mammoth Guard Station is located just one mile south.

Facilities

The campground contains several standard RV sites with long parking spurs that easily accommodate large RVs. Vault toilets are provided, but no water or garbage service is available. A well-maintained dirt road leads to the campground, providing relatively easy access for cars and RVs alike.

This was a peaceful camping experience. Although it rained which is just mother nature. I did read there was no trash service which I understand however it was very inconvenient to drive with our 4 days worth of trash the 3 hours back home. And once again no campfires which is again just mother nature but we would have been able to at least burn our paper trash. It was a trip I will always remember. Beautiful surroundings. Large parking spots. And stocked vault toilets. Plenty of bank fishing spots. Wish the river was more accessible. Overall a 8 out of 10. We will be back soon.

Nice to have a gravel pad for pitching the tent under muddy conditions, but the gravel fire pit could have been better. Had to dig out the center in order to build a fire.
