Black Canyon Campground

100%

17 sites · Tent

Come one, come all…but only if you’re coming by boat. Black Canyon Campground is a cozy spot along the lake that is accessible by boat only (it’s five miles south of the Ok-A-Beh boat ramp, so you can put your boat in there). You’ll find the campsites nestled among a douglas fir and ponderosa pine forest. The coolest amenity, though? A floating vault toilet!
