Please note that Black Rock Canyon Campground is right next to the border of the park - we could see city lights from our site, though it wasn't that distracting.

Also, even if you're visiting in late November, be sure to bring a short T-shirt! (I didn't and it was quite hot in the afternoon.)

Sites do not feel crowded. Good and varied hiking trails start right at the campground, (get a map online or from the visitor center) no need to drive to a trailhead.

Great hiking right out of campground. Did Black Rock trail to Panorama Loop and Warren Peak. Spectacular views of Palm Springs, Mt. San Jacinto and San Gorgonio

The two campsites we booked were in a nice location of the campground that offered sweeping views of the canyon and felt relatively isolated from other campsites nearby. All the campground staff were super friendly and accommodating. I was even able to meet one of the campground hosts and had a nice discussion about our mutual travel experiences. I do like the huge rocks at the Indian Wells campground as my go to JT camp, but I have to say our camping experiences at Black Rock Canyon were just fantastic and crazy close to amenities if we had needs. Five star.

The camp hosts were very helpful with great hiking recommendations. There are enough hiking trails starting at the campground to keep a moderate hiker busy for days.

This is an awesome campground!
-When you get there to check in everyone is super nice and helpful! We were given some simple instructions and rules for the campsite and a map of the campground which was super helpful! It can be a little confusing to find your way at first but the map really helps along with the directions from the welcome center staff.
The host is there daily to be of assistance in any way, I believe they also drive around at least once every morning making sure things are running smoothly and to be if help if need be.
-The bathrooms are wonderful for campground bathrooms! They have a few stalls in both the women and men’s, with doors that lock tile floor, mirrors and soap along with well running sinks! They were always clean and up kept daily.
-Each campsite has their own table and fire pit. All the campsites around ours that we could see were clean and nicely laid out.
