About
Black Rock Campground is a small, scenic campground located on the banks of the North Fork Boise River in Boise National Forest. Situated at 4,300 feet elevation approximately 20 miles from Idaho City, the campground provides access to excellent fishing for rainbow trout and numerous swimming holes along the river. The area is shaded by towering ponderosa pines, though sites offer limited privacy from neighboring campers. The campground has 11 single campsites, with a mix of reservable sites through Recreation.gov and first-come, first-served options. Each site is equipped with a picnic table and fire ring, and some sites include grills. Sites 1, 2, 7, 8, 9, and 11 have direct creek access. Potable drinking water is available from a hand pump that is tested monthly, and vault toilets are provided. Campers must pack out all trash. The surrounding area offers numerous trail opportunities for hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, and dirt biking. Access is via Forest Service Road 327, an 18-mile dirt road that is only graded a couple times per year. Cell service is not available at the campground; the nearest coverage is in Idaho City.
