The campground is popular with anglers who enjoy fly-fishing along the famous Truckee River and with rafters who take advantage of the usually easy current through the valley during the summer. Others find Goose Meadows Campground a convenient alternative to Tahoe campgrounds. A paved bike trail that follows the river can be accessed just a few miles south at Squaw Valley.
