Gold Lake is a small campground that is well maintained. If memory serves, they have 22 campsites. We stayed in site #2. All with a fire ring and picnic table, some have a fireplace with a cooking grate. They have well maintained pit toilets and potable water to pump into your own containers. The campground is full of huckleberries, which were ripe for the picking in mid-August.
Gold Lake is a very calm and still lake, no motorized boats are allowed. There is a boat ramp for launching but there is no day use area for playing in the water without a boat. Some campsites have lake access but can only be accessed from the campsite.
It is first come first serve camping. I lucked across this gem when Waldo lake campgrounds were all full.
There are hiking trails from the campground that connect to other trails in the area. Lots of flora & fauna to admire along your hike.
