Camping at Grouse Campground near Mccall

Public campground · Mccall · 21 campsites

A forested campground near trout fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.

About this campground

Grouse Campground sits on the shore of Goose Lake about 16 miles north of McCall, Idaho, reached by the paved drive toward Brundage Mountain that becomes gravel as you climb Forest Road 257; expect a winding, two-lane approach before the final gravel miles to the turnoff. The campground occupies a forest of Engelmann spruce and lodgepole pine at roughly 6,500 feet, with summer wildflowers around the sites and the lake shoreline a short three-minute walk from most campsites.

Reviews

Selected reviews

Verbatim from guest reviews on Recreation.gov ↗ (23 reviews, ★ 4.0). Not written or edited by us.

“Great hiking; fishing from shore was sparse. Beautifully treed. Great tent sites, clean toilets, friendly camp host. Be aware of the elevation if you have a heart condition.”

Norma Jean S 5 · Oct 2025 · Recreation.gov

“Great location and well maintained cg. Camp host is amazing and very knowledgeable about the area.”

Dan E 5 · Aug 2025 · Recreation.gov

“Camp host, Jill, is sociable, and willingly offers information to questions. She keeps an eye out for guests and can reach out to emergency services if needed despite poor cell service; also does a diligent job of caring for camp facilities.”

How far ahead to book Grouse Campground

For July weekends, book about 176 days ahead. Three in four July Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 160 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

See booking patterns
Arrival monthFri/Sat arrivals: half booked at leastA quarter at leastOther days: half booked at leastA quarter at least
July160 days ahead176 days ahead79 days ahead161 days ahead
August82 days ahead161 days ahead62 days ahead163 days ahead
September38 days ahead107 days ahead29 days ahead88 days ahead

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.

Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (1,422 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
