Black Canyon Campground sits within Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area, managed by the National Park Service on open terrain near the lake. Road access is a critical planning factor here: no vehicle road reaches the canyon-interior campgrounds, so arriving by water is the only option. No pets are permitted. The campground is open year-round, but campers should confirm water access conditions before arriving, particularly outside summer months.
Description

Black Canyon is currently closed (as of 8/30/22) because of aggressive bear activity due to them receiving food rewards from campers. - Open All Year - Docks in seasonally (Memorial Day - Labor Day) - 17 tent sites
