About
US Forest Service campground. The BLACK SPRINGS OHV Campground gets closed during winter season, due to snow levels preventing access from the highway. Call the local District Office for additional information. 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.
