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.

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.

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.
