About
Black Canyon Camping Area is a small, primitive campground tucked into a tall stand of fir trees along Jackson Creek in the Umpqua National Forest. The campground offers three sites, each equipped with a picnic table and fire ring. Nearby swimming access on Jackson Creek provides a refreshing option during warmer months. This is a pack-it-in, pack-it-out campground with no services. No potable water is available, so campers must bring their own supply. A vault toilet is provided. The maximum vehicle length is 22 feet, making this campground best suited for tents, smaller trailers, and compact campers. A popular attraction nearby is the World's Tallest Sugar Pine Tree. The campground is free and operates on a first-come, first-served basis with no reservations. Check-in is at 2:00 p.m. and checkout at noon. Quiet hours are 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m., and the maximum stay is 14 days. In winter, the campground remains open but may be inaccessible due to weather and road conditions.
