Goose Lake!

The drive from Carson to the campsite had quite a few large potholes, but once you get to the site, it's fantastic. Gorgeous views all around, undisturbed tent camping. I love it here and camp here often, even though it's 2 hours from me.

Beautiful but Buggy

Burn ban starts July 1st, so you unfortunately can't use the fire pits after. This time of year there is a bunch of mosquitos. There were swarms of them at our campsite which was a little frustrating. I still had an amazing time and loved that the creek flowed through the campground. But there was lots of trees to hang our hammocks on! And there is also picnic tables to eat at! The trailhead was right across from our site!
