Summary
There are no developed amenities—no toilets, water, fire rings, picnic tables, or hookups—so come prepared and practice Leave No Trace. RVs can access the area, though it’s better suited for smaller rigs due to rough road conditions. Set in a high desert landscape with sweeping mesa views and red rock scenery, it’s peaceful and remote. The Gooseberry Trail connects to the San Rafael Swell’s rugged backcountry, ideal for hiking and mountain biking. Best visited in spring or fall to avoid extreme summer heat or winter snow.

Camping Essential Practices
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you to keep campsites clean and protect wildlife.
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
Know Before You Go
Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
