Gooseberry Campground, Near Fairview, UT

     Gooseberry Campground is about ll miles east of Fairview. From Fairview on US-89, turn east on 400 north. This is UT-31 E. Go about 9 miles, turn left on UT-264 E at the Scofield sign and just to your left will be a large staging/parking area for North Skyline Dr. Drive north through that area and a sign says North Skyline Drive. Make a slight turn right after you enter Skyline Drive. Gooseberry Campground is about 2 miles down a winding dirt road. This is a small campground with vault toilets and potable water. It has 11 sites, 10 which are first come, first served and one (site # 4) is a reservable group site. The link is http://www.recreation.gov/camping/Gooseberry_Group_Ut/r/campgroundDetails.do?contractCode=NRSO&parkId=70825&topTabIndex=CampingSpot
     The sites are pretty small. If you have a large trailer, sites 2, 3 and 4 are possibly large enough pull-throughs. Be sure to remove your trash as there are no trash receptacles there. If you don't want to camp in the small campground, there are areas just off North Skyline Drive where we saw some people camping just off the road.
