What Guests Are Saying

Gooseberry Reservoir offers beautiful scenery and spacious campsites, with clean vault toilets and gravel pads that are beneficial in muddy conditions. However, there are significant concerns, including the presence of sheep that invade campsites and a lack of fencing, as well as excessive traffic and dust from nearby vehicles. Despite these issues, many campers express a fondness for the area and hope to return.

Gooseberry is definitely in my top go to places for camping now. It is very pretty, and there is drinking water available a little up the road. There is NO SHADE anywhere available for the camp grounds, so make sure to bring your own. the bathroom is a single co-ed bathroom that is always clean. the road even though its dirt, and the Campgrounds are well maintained.
The BIG downside, and I would hope it will be addressed. A lot of random people show up (might just be the weekend) and they just start parking in the campground (I had my personal vehicle and then 2 random vehicles parked next to mine in what i would consider mine or the neighboring campground area ) even though right up the road there is a large parking lot. This kind of defeats the purpose of RESERVING your campground because your sharing it with random people during the day (all day). The other thing that must be addressed is the Cattle Grids on the Dirt roads towards the campground, They need re-level the dirt around them. Any car could easily get over them but they need to be addressed before they get worst.

I have been going it Gooseberry for many years. There are very few amenities except the great fishing and the wonderful scenery, but I hope I can come back for years to come.

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.
