Black Lake is a quiet, off grid beautiful place to find a connection with nature. We stayed at the only reservable walk in site, #29. It has a gorgeous view of the lake and private swimming and fishing access. You could probably launch a kayak from there as well. It is an uneven trek from car to site and we highly recommend a collapsible camping wagon to haul your gear in. I will say the mosquitoes were incessant due to the recent weather but I brought bug spray which kept them mostly at bay. The site is very uneven and we found it hard to find room for our tent which was quite large. I wouldn't recommend more than a 4 person tent at that particular site and just know that it will not be on a clear/flat surface. It had a nice picnic table and fire pit. It is a bit of a walk through the woods to get out to the pit toilet so keep that in mind it that isn't your sort of thing. Make sure to bring your head lamp or flashlight for those late night bathroom runs. The water pump is in the main campground loop just a quick drive down the road. The water was cold and very fresh tasting. We brought a plastic 5 gallon empty water cooler jug and filled that up twice during our 5 day stay. The camp wagon made it easy to transport it back to the site. Dumpsters are just down from the water pump. We camped in July, so if the Serenade of bull frogs doesn't help you sleep, which went from dusk until dawn, then I would highly recommend ear plugs. There was sufficient shade for those who need it and plenty of open sun, especially close to the firepit. My teenage son and I loved our time there, despite the weather, bugs and bullfrogs! We also had the most amazing experience seeing a family of otters come very close to our site on the lake. It was a truly magical experience. Every evening we heard elk calls around dusk and into the evening too, which we enjoyed. As long as you are prepared and know what to expect, I highly recommend Black Lake #29 and the surrounding campground.
