Goose Lake Campground
Goose Lake Campground, near Sierra City, California, is a fantastic spot for those who love the great outdoors and want to soak in some stunning views. With a backdrop of the Sierra Buttes and a small lake that wraps around the campground, it’s a picturesque place to pitch your tent and unwind.
This campground is all about the basics, offering dry camping with plenty of space between sites. Visitors have raved about the beautiful scenery, making it a great place for kayaking and simply enjoying nature. One happy camper noted, “Camp right on the edge of the lake with a view of the Sierra Buttes. It doesn’t get ANY better than that.”
While the amenities are pretty primitive—think pit toilets and no running water—there’s still a charm to the simplicity. Some sites are easily accessible, but others might challenge your vehicle, especially if you’re driving something larger. Just keep in mind that high clearance vehicles are recommended for navigating the rocky roads.
If you’re up for some adventure, keep an eye out for leeches if you decide to take a dip in the lake. And while fishing isn’t a big draw here, the floating and swimming opportunities make it a fun spot to cool off. Goose Lake Campground is a solid choice for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle and enjoy a peaceful retreat in nature.
