Boise National Forest Black Rock Campground
Boise National Forest Black Rock Campground, near Idaho City, is a fantastic spot for those looking to escape into nature. With its beautiful sites spaced out along the river, it offers a peaceful retreat where you can truly unwind.
This campground is all about the basics, with vault toilets and a hand-crank water pump to keep things simple. Visitors have mentioned that the drive in can be a bit bumpy, but it’s manageable for most vehicles, and once you arrive, the scenery is worth it. As one camper noted, “You are nestled in the trees with a river below,” making it a great place for fishing and wading in the water.
