Black Rock Campground

Black Rock Campground is along the North Fork of the Boise River down in a pine covered valley on a bench above the river. This is a very nice campground with plenty of room. Some of the sites are along the hillsides so they are perfect for kids to play on. There are benches along the river for viewing. We found it rather quiet as we were there 2 weeks before fishing season opened.
