The place
the agency’s own description · what’s there
In the agency’s own words
Rose Canyon Campground features 73 campsites, half of which may be reserved . There are 3 RV loops. Campsites are spacious, spread out among stands of big ponderosa pine and clumps of Gambel oak in a cool forest setting. Each campsite has a picnic table, grill, firepit and bear box. We do have wildlife in the campground. A hosts or employee will give each guest a campground map (trail maps upon request), rules, and safety information. During rainy seasons, Rose Creek meanders through the area to Rose Canyon Lake at the lower end of the campground. Keep reading
This six-acre lake is sheltered by trees, and offers a pleasant setting for a walk, relaxing, or fishing for stocked trout . There are short hiking opportunities near the lake including a handicapped-accessible path from the lower parking area to a floating dock near the dam. The Campground Store is located next to Lake parking lot and is open Thursday - Sunday, 10am-5pm, Memorial Day through Labor Day. After Labor Day through October, the Store is open Saturday and Sunday, 10-4pm. The store carries fishing supplies including poles and licenses, camping supplies, and a sundry of grocery items including ice cream and ice. If the store is closed, you can still purchase ice and firewood through the camp host. When the campground itself is closed for the season, around November-March, the area is still open for woodland walks, wildlife watching, and fishing. Please remember, however, that in the off-season the gates will be closed and locked, so no garbage service is provided and no water is available. If you visit then, be sure to pack out everything you pack in.

recreation.gov publishes no availability for a campground you can’t reserve, so there’s no thirty-night reading to draw here. The season bar above is what the agency does publish.

What you actually pay
Derived by CAMPANAC: the lowest per-night amount the agency’s fee record states ($28), and no booking fee, because this campground takes no reservations. A weekend here means Friday and Saturday night. Optional charges (an extra vehicle, a second tent, a dump-station fee) are listed separately and aren’t in this total.
