It’s honestly such a beautiful area and despite the fact that we couldn’t stay at our reserved location, I loved the scenery.
The road to our campsite was blocked off by a metal gate that was locked. A lot of people, like us, had to turn back and leave because there was no other way in. I submitted a complaint but have yet to hear back and it’s been a week already.

The campsite was great! We were closer to the road but the sounds died down after 11 pm. The campsite was clean, easy to find, and well spaced apart from other sites. The restrooms were okay, but a bummer not having water to wash hands (not a big deal since we had our own water). The only issue I had was seeing that someone pooped in the woods near the campsite and left it under a rock. :( Restrooms were a 30 second walk away! People suck. HA.

We love Black Canyon and have stayed there many times before. This time we found the restrooms located close to site #23 terrible stinky! We had to 'hold our breath' while using them. We are campers and use 'outside toliets' often, but these toilets were bad.
Water at this camp site has been unavailable for the last couple of years; hopefully, a new water pump is in the budget for 2021.
