Blackhawk Memorial Park

You won't see a lot of supervision here, but the park is well-maintained.  There's not a lot of official information available (like many county parks).

Pit toilets/shelter/playground near the entrance.

Two boat launches.

Variable availability for firewood; the Cenex on the west end of Argyle reliably sells it if there isn't any at the park.

Site availability is first-come, first served (no reservations).

Sites have picnic tables (in season) and fire pits.

Sites are generally well marked, but some can be difficult to find.

I believe that current campsite costs are $5/weekday night and $10/weekend night.

Some events occur here: an annual Rendezvous (on May 3-8 in 2022, there's a facebook page for more information), a blackpowder shoot on May 15, etc.  If you're planning on staying, it'd be a good idea to do a search first to see if a few hundred other people are going to be sharing the park with you.

Stayed here with my son about ten years ago, and he loved it. Returned recently, and my wife said she wouldn't stay there. The lake water is like green paint and the river is now brackish, but moving. Got the impression of a beer drinking hideaway.

Great little off grid camping for people that aren’t afraid of bugs ! No trailers with yapping ankle biters , Glammpers stay away ! I loved it !
