Grouse Campground
Payette National Forest
Grouse Campground is located just 16 miles from McCall, Idaho, on the shores of Goose Lake. Visitors enjoy canoeing, fishing and horseback riding.
Once on-site, you may be able to pay for your campsite(s) by scanning a QR code using the Recreation.gov mobile app, and the Scan and Pay feature. If this option is available, you will need to first download the free Recreation.gov mobile app https://www.recreation.gov/mobile-app prior to your arrival as some remote areas have limited or no cellular service.
The campground offers several single and double-family sites, all of which are accessible. Most sites have scenic lake views. Vault toilets and drinking water are provided, and a horse-unloading ramp and hitching rail is provided in the campground near the boat ramp. Roads and parking spurs are gravel.
