Goodenough Creek Campground

I reckon it’s a decent place to spend the night. The road up although somewhat steep at times can easily be accessed without 4WD. A few nice sites right as you enter with fire pits & picnic tables. Unfortunately most of the sites are right next to the road, which the locals seem to rule with their 4 wheelers and side by sides, making lots of noise and dust.

There are little tent pads for the sites with pick nick tables and a metal fire ring. It would be tight for a large RV, but for a small camper or tent, it is perfect. There are some great trails that can be hiked directly from the campground too. I suggest checking out Old Tom Mountain which was apparently named after a mountain lion that used to wander the area. It's also the third most prominent peak in the Bannock Range and is the highest in the northern end.

This spot is great overall, I just wish we had understood the spots a little more before coming. Before I get to the campsite though, let’s talk that drive in! It was a wild ride shortly after leaving the Interstate. The mention on this hill is not to be underestimated. As long as you are towing within your means, you should have no problem getting to the camp site, but it is steep and tight. The dirt road has some deep eroding on the passenger side as you head in. Be careful! Then you get to the castle guard, and we thought the first gate on your right was a tight corner. I get out and check it out, then look up and see campers further down the hill so I thought those must be tent only sites. Not the case, but I had already ruled them out (drove from Mesquite this morning and ready to stop and rest!) and went in searching for an opening down the road before he drives the truck and trailer down. Getting into the site was tricky, but not impossible. Again, if you are towing with your means. We have an F350 with a long bed and a 33’ trailer, wiggling about 55’ into a passenger side back in on quite the incline. Were we a bit too big? Most likely, but it worked. There is a turn around, so you can get back out. Finally, I’m walking the dog after relaxing for a bit and remember reading reviews of people in those upper spots in trailers/RVs and feel quite dumb for what could have been a much more level and quiet spot.

Hidden gem! Managed by BLM with no apparent fee. The tent sites are pretty spread out and spacious along a creek. Slightly higher elevation and creek ecology keep this area cooler than the valley you pass through to get here during the summer. Great stop on my road trip!

This was a great spot to pull into. A beautiful drive in and a lovely campsite right next to a creek. Clean pit toilets, easy parking, and a nice hike to cover before dinner. Great tree cover and easy access from the car to the campsite. Highly recommend!

I arrived on a thursday around noon and had just a couple spots to choose from. The newer spots near the entrance are pretty level and have spectacular views of Mormon Canyon. The lower spots look nice and shady and there are a few that can accommodate a trailer. The vault toilets were very clean, you might want to bring some TP. There's no water here, but a nice person at the gas/grocery place in McCamman let me fill my jugs in the sink by the soda fountain.  The road is in great shape with only a couple slight rough spots.

Drove up to take a look before pulling my 37 ft fifth-wheel up the hill. It is a nice campground with sites large enough for most RV's. I would be a bit concerned about the tight turn through the gate, but the trailers that were already there must not have had any trouble. Most importantly, there is a large turnaround just past the few sites that is large enough to get turned around. Campground is 5 miles off the highway, half was paved, half was a well maintained gravel packed road. The road up is a bit steep but doable. It sits high enough up that durning summer heat it will be cooler than the Indian Rocks dispersed area nearer the highway.

This campground is very nice, I love that it is free to camp here. There are 2 vault toilets that were both clean. There are several nice hiking trails that leave right from the campground. The creek that runs through the campground was very nice.

Just like the title suggests. ^-^

Agreat little campground that is split into a more developed tent area and a primitive tent area.  The developed tent area had gravel pads along with picnic tables and metal fire rings.  There was also a halfdicap vault toilet near the entrance.  At the primitive site we found a wonderful little rope swing that swung out over the creek.  All the primitive sites were wonderfully cool and shaded while the developed sites were more exposed

Great hiking and horseback riding trails, quiet, not too crowded.

There are a total of 10 campsites surrounded by trees and water. The campsites are a good size and runs along the creek. There are hiking trails and the scenery is photo perfect. This site is first come first serve so I would advise get there early.

Went here in the middle of the summer on a weekend which made it a little busy but all around a great, newly renovated campground. There are a few spots right by the entrance that don’t get much shade in the middle of the day but if you continue past them there are many more sites back in the woods. Only issue we had was people driving too fast on the dirt road.

We enjoyed the primitive campsites for their seclusion and feel of living within the wild. Nice hiking opportunities and off road vehicles seemed to be popular as well.
