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.

The camping area is not fenced off from the sheep herds.. The smell of sheep manure is prevalent. The sheep invade the campsites for 2 to 3 hours in the morning and the same before sunset!!! There is no reason the lease agent for the sheep could not place a fence on the camp side of the creek so that the sheep can water and stay away from the campsites.
Worse than the sheep, is all of the non campsite traffic that drives through all day. The dust was unbearable, the racing of side by sides, and motor cycles at 30+ miles per hour, going around and around the campsite access road was inexcusable. The FS should be ashamed of such a mess. The Gov. charges enough money, that the camping at the lake should have a camp host and write citations for all of the mayhem that has crept into the area. IF YOUR ANSWER IS: BUDGETS HAVE BEEN CUT, THEN CHARGE MORE!!!!
I am a 70 year old native of the area and I am ashamed to see what the gov. has let the area become.

Gooseberry is Andy’s favorite camping spot. We had to leave early because of tire problems so we didn’t get to stay. Hopefully, we can try again. Thank you.

We used this campsite to climb in Mabel canyon . Unfortunately we got weathered out with cold temps and snow featuring moderate winds. The campground is fine with out in the open camping, clean vault toilet and large campsites. We wish we brought our fly rods after exploring the reservoir outflow!

- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
- Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
