What an outstanding farm and homestead! So beautiful and peaceful. Such a relaxing short stay. Wish it could have been longer but had to keep moving. Clean and hot showers were a treat! Kitchen sink area came in very handy and even though I didn't get a chance to enjoy the fire pit, the communal area looked pleasant. Tom was a joy to talk to and a warm host. Didn't get to meet Susan as she was out of town but I'm positive she is great as well. I have not stopped talking to people about this place. Can not wait to return. ✌

Camp Black Rock
We had a wonderful time at Camp Black Rock! Our girls camp trip was about to be cancelled due to the forest fires in Southern Oregon, when we stumbled across this gem of a destination as our Plan B. Wonderful hosts, exceptional hospitality and care. Directions were perfect, the property was welcoming, all the amenities (more than I could have even imagined or asked for), clean bathrooms, plenty of privacy. They have set the bar high for Hip Camp! Will every Hip Camp provide firewood, and showers, and comfy chairs around the campfire, and extra hammocks, and sweet painted rocks to take home, AND jello-shots?! Thanks Susan and Tom, we had so much fun!

Camp Black Rock
Went to Camp Black Rock for a girls weekend when one of us found Hip Camp after we were smoked out of our original destination, and the environment and other campers and host and hostess truly saved our weekend! We had such a great time! Hammocks, compostable toilets, even Jell-O shots made for all the campers by our hostess! And a tour of some pretty amazing rabbits. Such a wonderful time! Thank you for opening up your grounds to us!

Camp Black Rock
After our first campground was smoked out by wildfires, my friends and I stumbled upon Camp Black Rock. Susan and her husband were more than willing to accommodate our ladies camping weekend at the last minute. We had our pick of locations all over the property to set up camp. She provided the guided tour upon arrival and made us feel right at home. We felt very safe on the property and although there were a few others staying, it never felt intrusive. We all had our own camping areas and came together around the camp fire at night. The compostable toilets were cleaned daily, there were chairs, blankets, and pillows around the fire, and even small things were provided such as dish soap, towels, and Susan's phone if needed for wifi. The hammocks were heaven and we passed an entire afternoon lounging around. I would highly recommend Susan's place and recommend heading into Falls City to check out the beautiful waterfall while you're there.

Fantastic place. Lots of room to camp. Beautiful farm setting. Very thoughtful amenities such as hot showers, dishwashing station, compost toilets, yard games and hammocks make a basic camp experience seem luxurious. Tom and Susan are extremely accommodating hosts and certainly made our first hipcamp stay a positive and relaxing experience. Fabulous base camp location for travelers and cyclists as Black Rock bike trails are nearby. Perfect spot for families and group gatherings/events. Highly recommend.

Camp Black Rock
Camping at Camp Black Rock was an amazing experience! When we first arrived and checked in, Susan showed us around the property and around the areas that we would be able to camp and set up our tent. Susan provided us a very helpful list of fun activities and spots that we could visit that was near to the campsite. The camping areas were clean and well maintained, the showers and compostable toilets were fantastic and beautifully made. Susan showed us her rabbitery and welcomed us to eat some of the fresh plums and pears growing from their trees. When dinner time came around, there was a beautiful common area that included chairs, tables to store food, hay that could be used as extra seating, and a fire pit in the middle. My friends and I had a great time and we’re already planning our next camping trip to Camp Black Rock before our first trip was even over. Susan was amazing and extremely helpful and accommodating and a big part of why we had such 5 Star experience!

My experience at Camp Black Rock was exceptional! Susan was such a gracious host. She really went above and beyond to make us feel cared for and at peace. I left camp feeling rejuvenated and calm.
Thank you for everything!

Amazing experience! I would definitely recommend Camp Black Rock. It was beautiful and quiet, and Susan was so caring, nice, and generous to us.
When we arrived, Susan showed us around to the places we could park our camper bus, to the shower, to the composting toilets, to the wash sink, to the charging station, and to the camp fire / shared cooking area. When she said she got a special permit to have a shared camp fire (even though its fire season) we joked that we forgot our marshmallows for s'mores, and she texted her husband to pick up marshmallows, chocolate, and graham crackers for us. And he actually bought them and they just gave them to us (no charge). I wouldn't even expect that hospitality from a friend; Susan is amazing.
We stayed at Camp Black Rock for 2 nights, and our entire experience was filled with Susan's care and generosity. She forgot the password to the WiFi, so she let us tether off of her phone all day. She baked us muffins. She showed us around her rabbit breeding farm, and let us pet them. She provided fire wood (1 bundle per group per night). She encouraged us to pick the blackberries, apples, and plums from their trees (the grapes weren't ripe yet). She provided a bunch of lawn games for us to play. She even ran an extension cord closer to our site so we could plug in some electronics.
We were thoroughly amazed with the experience at Camp Black Rock and with HipCamp. This was actually our first time using HipCamp, and it was a great experience, so we will definitely use it more in the future. The other guests at Camp Black Rock said that they had never been to such a good camp. Honestly, I think they should charge more for this site, it was amazing, and better than any park campsite I have ever been to.

Camp Black Rock
My friends and I just stayed here during the week and it was so nice, more than we expected! Susan (the host) is extremely hospitable, accommodating and sweet. She came down a lot to check on us and just chat, which was nice. She provided my friends and I with a list of fun things to do around town, homemade muffin tops the first morning we were there and fresh corn on the cob that we cooked in the provided barbeques. Her property is great for camping, there is so much open space, you don't have to worry about feeling cramped ever. Her and her husband created outdoor compostable toilets and showers and they have a cute little outside area where you can sit with your friends and other campers around a campfire and make s'mores! Also, camping here is a must if you love to stargaze, my friends and I saw a total of about 5 shooting stars the first night we were there. During the night we could crickets and coyotes howling, while in the morning we were naturally awakened by their rooster. If you like rabbits, this is also a great place because Susan has a rabbitry on the property. The experience as a whole was amazing and I would recommend this camping site for anyone and everyone. My friends and I will definitely be coming back in the future!

Camp Black Rock
truthfully, I do not even know where to start with this location. Susan is the host here, and she is such an amazing one that I don’t think any others will compare. I am sure I won’t even remember everything that this site included on this review but I will try. My friends and I arrived and were greeted by her friendly face and given a tour of the property, and which was beautiful. She is very eco-friendly, using composting toilets. Right next to them is a sink to wash dishes and three Coldwater showers, with dish soap and a sponge, a dish rack, mosquito repellent spray, and bath towels. While there were not many mosquitoes, there were wasps, but she also provided wasp and bee spray as well. She has a friendly cats, tons of rabbits that she sells and shows, and plum and pear trees with ripe fruit to pick too! There is plenty of space to camp without being cramped by other campers, And we got to choose where we set up. After seeing the showers she showed us the fire pit, the firewood provided each day, two barbecues, charcoal, barbecuing utensils like tongs and a big metal spatula, and pot holders. She said that she and her husband were planning on building an open air gazebo, but even without it, it is a beautiful set up with quite a few comfortable chairs, a dinner table, food table, blankets, and also bales of hay to sit on. She even provided marshmallow roasting sticks! On top of telling us to call or text if we needed anything, she also provided us fresh corn from the produce stand nearby and it was absolutely delicious. We woke up to homemade carob pumpkin muffins to have for breakfast too! We got to sit by the fire with her and have a wonderful conversation, and then she painted us rocks and decorated that said camp black rock on them. I am leaving this review because, initially, I was nervous to come here because it had not been reviewed yet and was relatively new. I am so impressed and will definitely be back soon! Thanks for everything Susan!
