About
US Forest Service campground. Diamond Rock Campground has 3 sites that feature Adirondack style three-sided shelters that were built by the depression-era Civilian Conservation Corps before the age of large, car drawn campers. Campsites are located a few steps from the stream to protect the Black River 's unique riparian zone, but access to the river is easy as the undergrowth serves more to enhance the river 's picturesque nature than to obstruct easy passage. Pack out what you pack in. Not reservable through Recreation.gov, so plan on first-come, first-served; check with the ranger district for current conditions and fees.
