Summary
Black Rock Campground is a beautiful and remote spot along the North Fork of the Boise River, offering a peaceful atmosphere with well-spaced sites and easy access to trails and swimming areas. While some amenities like the water pump and fire pits need attention, and issues with noise from generators and aggressive bees were noted, many campers enjoyed their experiences and appreciated the natural setting. Overall, it's recommended for those who come prepared and are seeking a rustic camping experience.

Black Rock Campground was easy to get to in about 1.5 hours from the Boise area. The campground is small (11 sites) but nicely arranged with pit toilet and water crank pump station. Site 11 was nice and overlooked the North Fork Boise River. Shade was available until about 1 pm but the late afternoon sun was brutal until about 7 pm when the sun set behind the ridge. Suggest bringing a pop up canopy for this site. Plenty of downed pine sections available for firewood...but bring a splitting wedge and sledge hammer. Pit toilet was generally clean and had some paper...suggest bringing your own just in case. We did not see any snakes...but did get some enjoyment one morning watching a black bear forage on berry bushes across the river from us. Not many campers present when we were there, but folks were friendly, quiet, and kept to themselves. Spent the day fly fishing a 15 mi stretch of the river upstream from the campground. Rainbows were small (6 - 10"), but eager to take a fly all day long. Top flies were elk hair caddis, salmon fly, rubber leg stonefly nymphs, and zebra midges.

Loved this campground. Secluded, quiet, clean, and right by the river! Our spot had good shade but not all of them do. Will definitely camp here again.

Black rock is great campground. Camp sites are not very close together. There are sites close to the river, which is very mild flowing later in the season. Not too much wildlife, some bugs, not bad. It is my home away from home.

It took about an hour on a dirt road to get there, but it was worth it. The site was clean and we were right next to the the river. The other campers were quiet and friendly. Lots of places to explore.
