Recreation
Gooseberry Reservoir, which is visible from several sites, offers good cutthroat and rainbow trout fishing, as well as canoeing. The Great Western Trail runs near the campground, offering excellent opportunities for hiking, biking and off-road vehicle riding.

Book This Park
Sitting at elevation brings cooler temperatures, thinner air, and the kind of sweeping views that make the drive worthwhile. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the options — hiking and biking are all accessible from or near camp. This park fills up fast in peak season — reservations well in advance are strongly recommended.
