Gooseberry Reservoir Campground

Soaring to 8,400 feet elevation, Lower Gooseberry Reservoir Campground offers a high-altitude escape with panoramic mountain vistas, pristine fishing waters, and direct access to the Great Western Trail.

This picturesque campground sits in an open meadow beside the shimmering reservoir, providing unobstructed views of the surrounding peaks dotted with aspen and fir trees. The sites are well-spaced, offering a sense of privacy despite the lack of shade. Fire rings and picnic tables at each site allow for comfortable outdoor living, while vault toilets provide basic amenities.

Located in the Manti-La Sal National Forest, the campground is about 12 miles east of Fairview, Utah. The area is a gateway to outdoor adventures, with opportunities for hiking, mountain biking, and off-road vehicle riding on nearby trails. Anglers will appreciate the well-stocked reservoir, home to cutthroat and rainbow trout, while paddlers can enjoy peaceful canoeing on the calm waters.

This campground is ideal for weekend getaways or extended vacations for those seeking a quiet mountain retreat. Its high elevation provides a cool respite during summer months, making it a popular destination for escaping the heat of lower elevations.
