About Gooseberry Admin Site Cabins

Gooseberry Admin Site Cabins sits in the protected Gooseberry drainage of Fishlake National Forest, surrounded by aspen groves at 8,000 feet. Three rustic cabins and a recreation hall accommodate up to 250 people (50 overnight), with flush toilets, warm showers, and a full kitchen. The site runs $300/night and books out for family reunions and scout groups. Expect no cell service and limited privacy in shared sleeping quarters.

Gooseberry Admin Site Cabins offer group camping accommodations which include historic bunk cabins and a recreation hall. The site is primarily geared toward large gatherings such as family reunions and youth camps.

Historical Significance

The cabins served as the Forest Service summer headquarters from 1907 to 1960. Rangers lived and worked here for over five decades, planning conservation efforts across this section of Fishlake National Forest. The structures retain their original function as communal lodging, now available for public reservation.

Weather and SeasonsSummer brings daytime highs of 65–80°F and cool nights dipping to 35–50°F. The elevation and aspen canopy keep midday heat manageable. July and August see the most visitors on weekends; midweek stays are quieter. Winter snow closes access seasonally. Spring and fall temperatures swing widely with the altitude.

ElevationAt 8,000 feet, Gooseberry Admin Site offers a true high-country experience where the air is crisp, the stars shine brighter, and every breath feels refreshing. This significant elevation creates a natural escape from summer heat while providing stunning vistas and unique weather patterns that shift from brilliant sunshine to afternoon thunderstorms. The altitude adds an element of mountain magic to every stay, reminding visitors they've truly ascended into Utah's spectacular high country.

Natural Features and SceneryDense aspen forests create a natural amphitheater around the cabins, filtering sunlight and blocking wind. The drainage's geology forms a sheltered valley that feels remote despite being just south of I-70. In fall, the aspens turn gold. At 8,000 feet, the microclimate stays cooler than the surrounding plateau, with shade dominating most of the site.

Geological RegionTucked into the secluded Gooseberry drainage just south of Interstate 70, this hidden gem occupies a special pocket of central Utah's diverse landscape. The surrounding aspen forests create a microclimate of cool shade and filtered sunlight, while the unique geological features of the drainage have sculpted a natural amphitheater that shelters the site from harsh winds. This protected valley combines accessibility with the feeling of being worlds away from civilization.
