The best camping near Black Rock with fishing

Black Rock draws anglers from all over with its no-fuss campsites set near solid fishing spots. You’ve got over 130 camping options here, each handpicked for easy access to fishing holes—think riverbanks, small lakes, and tucked-away streams. Average price per night runs about $23, but you can snag a spot for as low as $10 if you book early. Top picks like Raven's Nest On Route 66 (171 reviews), SDR Ranch (7 reviews), and El Malpais National Monument Camp (1 review) get nods from regulars for their easy water access and laid-back vibes. Bring your dog, light up a campfire, or just unwind—most sites allow pets, campfires, and have toilets. When you’re not casting a line, keep your eyes peeled for wildlife, hit a hiking trail, or saddle up for some horseback riding. There’s no secret handshake—just show up ready to fish and settle in.
