Black Mountain Campground

This is a well run, clean campground with plenty of amenities. Restrooms and showers near campsites are cleaned multiple times daily. Setting near river and in midst of Black Mountains is beautiful. Wood, ice and other items available for purchase. Nearby general store has all the essentials.

excellent campground

Campground Host Bob helped out tremendously when we arrived and the other host and his wife were friendly and helpful as well. The bathrooms were well-maintained, the camping pad was neat and even, the open field was great for our kids, and the overall stay was most pleasant since it is a limited electricity campground. It was wonderful to see campfires instead of neon lights and large-screen TVs.

Beautiful location, friendly camp hosts, spacious campsites with good distance between site. The hosts work very hard to keep the facilities super clean. Hot showers, flush toilets...great spot.

Camp hosts were lovely. We had a reserved site #12 tent camping - it was next to the host - but the first come first serve sites on the river looked wonderful. That being said even in our site we fell asleep to the sounds of the river. Very quiet. No cell service (Verizon) but no complaints I'm camping!

Beautiful campground and site! Well maintained, lots of trails right off the camp sites, close to a good swimming hole in the river.

beautiful campground,very friendly staff and very clean restrooms with great showers

This is my second stay at Black Mtn. The camp hosts are very nice people. I noticed that apparently funds for upkeep of the facilities have been reduced or have disappeared, but things were tolerable.

It had been about 9 years since I had camped here back in college, and I decided to return with my husband and our small child. We arrived and loved the campground—it was just as beautiful as I remembered. It’s well kept and lovely. We stayed at site 9. I’d seen mixed reviews about the site as it’s close to the restrooms, but I thought it was a nice size and there are some trees between the site and the shower house, so it’s not intrusive. The office folks were friendly on the phone, and after we set up they helped my 4 year old and I get some firewood.
The weekend didn’t go exactly as expected. The area received a lot more rain than I think anyone was expecting, and the river rose pretty quickly during the day. Thankfully one of the campground hosts/staff came by to let us know that the conditions were abnormal, and offered us to move to site on higher ground in case the river continued to rise. With a small child and a dog, breaking down and setting back up in the rain with a rising river nearby seemed stressful, so we made the decision to pack up and go. However, we will absolutely be back and felt incredibly welcome during our short time at Black Mountain Campground. You can tell the folks running this place take pride in their little piece mountain, and they are warm, gracious hosts. Barring the inclement weather, I know it would have been a delightful trip.
