About this campground

Gooseberry Administrative Site

Gooseberry Administrative Site in southern Utah offers established campsites in a scenic high-desert setting on the edge of Zion National Park. Reservations are required through Recreation.gov, with a modest nightly fee. Amenities include pit toilets, picnic tables, fire rings, and limited RV access (no hookups or water available—bring your own). The campground is popular for mountain biking, especially the nearby Gooseberry Mesa Trail. Expect sweeping red rock views and juniper-pinyon landscapes. The vibe is quiet and remote, perfect for stargazing and solitude. Best visited in spring or fall for mild weather. No dispersed camping is permitted within the administrative site.
