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.
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.
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.
The surrounding mountains are dotted with aspens, fir trees and sagebrush, but the campground has no trees and no shade. Each site has a nice lake view. Grasses and summer wildflowers cover the valley.
From Fairview, Utah, travel north about a mile on Highway 89, to the junction with Highway 31. Travel east on Highway 31 for about nine miles, to the junction with Forest Development Road 124. Go north on Forest Development Raod 124 for three miles, to the campground.
We just love Gooseberry! We always have and always Will! If I had just one complaint, those of us that come up and don't have toilets would really appreciate it if the restroom was emptied! It's really full! Thanks again for a great place to camp!
A place to sneak away to and escape everything! Great to fish and see nature's beauty
It has beautiful scenery, very peaceful, We love the fact that you can fish right on the Lake out your RV.
What a nice place to camp! We stayed in the spots right next to the reservoir which are very big and I loved how they aren't too close to the neighboring spots. The only down side was there aren't any trees there but as long as you have some cover you'll be alright. Fishing was good and everyone in our group seemed to get more than a few little ones.
Beautiful! Last part of September/early October is ideal for the leafs changing color. The reservoir is beautiful. Fishing was fantastic. We had the best time! A little chilly but as long as you are prepared for colder nights, you will be set!
