Best Time to Camp at Goose Lake State Recreation Area
Experience the magic of high-desert camping where crystalline nights reveal a breathtaking tapestry of stars unmarred by city lights. As darkness falls, temperatures drop to create perfect sleeping weather, while sunny days warm the landscape without the oppressive heat found at lower elevations. Late spring through early fall transforms the campground into an outdoor paradise, with ideal conditions for hiking, wildlife watching, and lakeside relaxation. Summer visitors should come prepared with insect repellent, as the warmer months awaken the local mosquito population near the water's edge.
Open and quiet in summer; good stargazing but nights can be chilly and mosquitoes noted.
Park open into October; quieter season with similar scenery before winter closure.
Park opens mid-April; Pine Creek flows in spring, good for wetlands and bird activity.
Closed late October to mid-April; winter camping not available.
Planning Tips
- Peak Season: Peak usage likely during warmer months, primarily mid-April through October.. Book 2-3 months ahead.
- Operating Season: Closed from late October to mid-April.
- Current Alerts: Seasonal closure from late October to mid-April.
