About
Goumaz Campground is a small, free primitive campground in the Eagle Lake Ranger District of Lassen National Forest. The 5 campsites are located along the Susan River at 5,200 feet elevation, between Highways 36 and 44 near the south end of Eagle Lake. Each site has a campfire pit, and the campground provides a vault toilet and typically potable water from faucets. The campground's primary draw is its location adjacent to the Bizz Johnson Trail, a 25-mile rail-trail that follows the Susan River through a scenic river canyon. The trail is popular for mountain biking, hiking, and horseback riding, making Goumaz an ideal base camp for trail users. When towing trailers, approaching via Highway 44 is recommended over Highway 36 for easier access.
Directions
From Highway 36, take Goumaz Road until you reach the campground. Approaching via Highway 44 is recommended when towing trailers.
