Black Rocks Campground

Black Rocks Campground comprises nine riverside campsites (Black Rocks 1-9) along the Colorado River in the Ruby-Horsethief section, featuring sandy beaches and ancient Vishnu schist rock formations dating back 1. 7 billion years.

Overnight camping permits are required year-round and must be reserved in advance through Recreation. gov, with sites limited to one night on Friday and Saturday (no layovers).

The area offers excellent wildlife viewing opportunities including bald eagles, peregrine falcons, and desert bighorn sheep, with mostly flat water and Class I-II rapids suitable for both motorized and non-motorized boating.
