Gold Lake 4x4 Campground

The ranger comes weekly now and you must have a reservation to get a site. No res, no site. No toilets or water and you are required to bring a toilet with gel and take all human waste and trash out with you. No more dispersed camping is allowed at all especially near Little Gold Lake or Summit Lake. I love that the ranger is coming and keeping it nice and clean. We went during the week and it was quiet and peaceful. Only issue was off leash random dogs showing up at our campsite. You will need a high clearance 4x4. Air down at the staging area. We saw a lot of people turn around there. Sharp jagged rocks and huge boulders. Lots of boulders in the road before camp.

Been here a handful of times and it's been pretty good to me. It is a campground so don't expect perfect peace and quiet, some folks like to party. If you want silence keep going down the trail and you'll find it. Decent 4x4 trails in the area, encountered a few sketchy spots for my lil 31"s, lifted some tire and thought I was gonna tumble into snake lake. Great fishing, beautiful scenery, and being annoyed by people is optional.

This campground is a bit hard to get to, you need a high clearance vehicle otherwise you won't make it in. Space is limited to 16 sites and they fill up fast, we did see a few renegade campers tucked away here and there and there are some sites in the surrounding lakes that offer a quieter experience. Some people show up here to party and be loud very late into the night, we had to go ask our neighbors to turn the music off...it was past 11pm. The next night a different group moved into the site next to ours and it was the same story, loud music and shouting all night. That is the one turn off and the reason I won't be going here again, too many inconsiderate people use this beautiful place.

This is a nice rocky trail along a beautiful lake. When I went there was some pretty large rocks that would hurt most stock jeeps. The parking lot for the staging area is kinda small and can fill up quickly.

I happened to end up here on a holiday weekend and there weren't any sites available but I was able to make friends with another individual and share his site! Great place, great time, great 4 wheeling, and great views from the sites and the trail system
