Great spot, very large. Close to bathrooms and potable water. Staff was great and helped quiet some noisy neighbors.

Great location! Wonderful views in trees at sunrise. Great camp host. Pavement is poor, potholes and uneven. Go slow.

The roads in the campground were full of deep ruts and holes. The garbage collection container was overflowing. One of the worst maintained NP Ive ever visited. Quiet hours were not enforced one large group of people were still yelling about have another shot at 1 am. No rangers were seen on patrol. The host was friendly and told me I needed to go over to his campsite to report the noise so he could deal with it.

Office staff was kind and restroom was clean. But I couldn't see stars since it was raining in the night.

The views were beautiful, the Rangers were friendly, the site was huge, but the roads are just so terrible!

Had a packed group, 2 campgrounds, 4 cars, 12 friends. Clean and spacious campsite and restrooms which wasn’t far away either.

All sites said reserved, but most were not filled during our 2 day stay. Sites were packed too tightly, and extremely unlevel. Roads were horrendous. There were no park people there. Our neighbors built a huge fire even though the winds were at about 25 mph. This filled our rv with smoke. People not respecting quiet time, and walking around with LED lights on their heads at all hours.

Sites very un-level. Roads horrible. Bathrooms dirty.

Volunteers and staff wonderful.

We loved it, only thing that would make it better is if there were more signs to tell you where to go, and if the roads were a little better but other then that was great!

I had a good experience at Black Rock campground. The rangers were helpful and the location worked out well.
However, the roads in the campground were very rutted and rough.
@CatherineL724 · Camped on Nov 18, 2021 at Campsite #45
The most undeveloped campsite in our many years of camping.

Campground roads are in atrocious shape, site had shade and a decent amount of space. Can hike out of the campground.
