Black River State Forest Campground

Sites are well spaced and separated from one another with trees and vegetation. The campground has two small loops with sites on the outside of each and mowed lawn in the center. One hand pump provides drinking water; it tasted fine and appeared clear. A path off the back of a campsite leads down to some rapids and fast moving water on the Black River. Not a single site was occupied in the middle of Labor Day weekend when we passed through. You shouldn't have to worry about finding this campground full when you arrive, even on holiday weekends.

Stayed 10-11 to 10-13 2024. Almost empty. I chose campsight #11. It had steps leading down to the river which can be heard from the campsight (100 yds or so). Plenty of birds (I'm a bird nerd) and other wildlife. Hiked about 10 miles on Saturday and saw plenty of signs of deer, bear and wolf. Pretty secluded but still not far away from Naubinway. DNR officer stopped in on Saturday morning and we talked a while about the surrounding area and it's wildlife. I'll def be back!!!

Oct 13 just me and one other site occupied for the night. Couldn't sleep due to a Great Horned Owl hooting up a storm all night long very close by. Best reason not to be able to sleep ever

There was my brother and nephews we camped during hunting season very quiet I believe there are to many wolves in this area so if your hunting in this area I don’t believe you will see anything but staying at the camp ground and driving to a different area would be the thing to do to better your chances. But I give this camp ground a 5 star love the river next to the sites

Besides price increase and having to dump trash at a different campground, this is a great place for rustic camping if you enjoy peace and quiet and isolation from.other campers. The lake is close by as is fishing.
