Black Mountain Road Camp

Washboard road conditions mark the approach to Black Mountain Road Camp, with about two miles of rough driving before reaching the camping area. This dispersed BLM site sits in open desert terrain where shade remains scarce, making summer visits challenging due to extreme heat. Sites spread across the area with small cacti scattered throughout, requiring pet owners to watch for thorns and spines.

The campground provides 360-degree views for sunrise and sunset viewing, with winds helping cool evening temperatures. Verizon cell service reaches the area according to recent visitors. Campers can access sites by vehicle or on foot, with campfires, pets, and alcohol permitted under BLM regulations.

Beautiful Views, Quiet Solitude

Traveling down Black Mountain road for about 2miles of wash boards before turning down the camping road.

All the sites were empty as it was almost 100degrees outside and nothing for shade of a creature larger than a bird could find. But here we found quiet solitude and a cooler evening, perhaps the winds helped.

If you have furry friends keep a watch for their paws, there’s small cacti/pokeys scattered about.

Lovely sunrise and sunset 360 views.

Good Verizon service!
