About
Black Rock Campground sits along the western shore of Little Grass Valley Reservoir at approximately 5,000 feet elevation in the Plumas National Forest. This walk-in tent campground offers 10 first-come, first-served sites in a forested lakeside setting. Each site includes a picnic table, fire ring, and bear box for food storage. The campground provides vault toilets and potable water, though water may not be available early or late in the season as the system is turned on and shut off for winter. The large parking lot can accommodate RV campers, though there are no hookups or designated RV sites. The campground serves as an excellent base for water recreation on the reservoir, with a boat launch nearby supporting both motorized and non-motorized watercraft. Fishing opportunities include an accessible fishing trail. The 13-mile Lakeshore Trail offers hiking and mountain biking around the reservoir. Black Rock is one of eight family campgrounds managed by the Feather River Ranger District around Little Grass Valley Reservoir, which together provide approximately 323 camping units. A 14-day stay limit applies, with a maximum of 8 people and 2 vehicles per site. Pets are allowed but must be kept on a leash.
