I grew up on this mountain. So I wanted to bring my grandson's and husband and let them enjoy that mountain. They had a great time fishing at gooseberry. We camped up at gooseberry and it was so relaxing. And they got to play in the snow in July up on the mountain. We went up to cottonwood ridge and I told them how my family stayed up there and we knew a couple of the sheep herders that stayed up there. I would recommend you take your family up there. Your kids get to unplug from the phones and just enjoy nature at its best.

Great Place to relax when 4 wheelers and UTV are not driving through camps and creating a dust cloud. Sheep have access to the parking area as well.

We stayed by the lake which was great. The campground was in terrible shape. Broken tables and garbage all around. We had to pick up trash before we parked our trailer. We stayed for 8 days and should have dried camped instead.

Gooseberry Reservoir is our favorite place. We always catch plenty of fish. We camp right along the reservoir so great fishing is only a few feet away. Camping spots are spacious. It is so peaceful.

Policies & Rules

Cancellation policy

  • Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
  • 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.
  • Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.

Safety & rules

  • Pack out all garbage as drinking water and trash collection are not provided at the campground.
