Overview

Aspen Grove Campground is located near Soldier Creek Dam above the Soldier Creek section of beautiful Strawberry Reservoir. Visitors flock to Strawberry for its excellent fishing, boating and trail opportunities.

Recreation

Strawberry Reservoir offers excellent boating, water skiing and canoeing. Anglers fish for rainbow trout, cutthroat trout and Kokanee salmon.

Aspen Grove Day Use Area is less than 1/4 mile below the campground. A boat ramp, boat rentals, slips, a fish cleaning station and small general store are on-site.

The 12-mile Strawberry Narrows Trail begins at the day-use area. This scenic trail offers views of the reservoir and is open to hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding.

Facilities

The campground offers several single and double-family sites, three of which are accessible. Improvements include paved roads and spurs, cement pads, tables and fire circles. There is no phone service. You must stay on the site you reserve; no site swapping is allowed. Flush toilets and drinking water are provided. 

Natural Features

The campground lies in an aptly named mountain setting at an elevation of 7,800 feet. Aspen Grove's Loop A is situated among dense stands of aspen, which offer nice shade and stunning fall colors.

Loop B is much more open, covered only with sagebrush and grasses. There is no shade on this loop. The campground offers views of the reservoir.
