Black Fox Campground

Remote for the Black Hills. No water, no trash, no cell service. Please pack out your trash; unfortunately, someone thought aluminum cans would burn. Creek right behind my campsite. Had decent shade. Toilet was clean. They have been thinning trees, so a little bit of firewood is on the ground. Mostly dusty gravel road from US385.

This site is beautiful. Lovely streams flow around the camp. 9 spots that are a little small and a little unlevel. Vault toilet, no faucets. Asked the host who said just to boil the stream water for fresh water. 10 - 20 miles from a paved road so be ready for that. Lots of OHVs driving around. Despite all that I really enjoyed our stay there.

The drive to Black Fox is along quite a few ranches and follows a river. The drive is enjoyable and not very difficult to handle. The campground is right along the river. The rapids made music that is peaceful and inviting. 

A large group of ATVs drove in to picnic. Along with one other family, the campground was pretty empty. 

What better camp than right along a bubbling river? Off road trails are the closest draw. The Michelson trail has an access point a few miles down the road. Pay the access fee and enjoy the trail with hikers, bikers, and horses. 

Although some of the sites had a bit too much water and were muddy, the bulk of the 9 sites were perfect.
