Black Rocks Campground

Black Rocks Campground is a series of riverside campsites along the Colorado River in the Ruby-Horsethief section, featuring sandy beaches and cottonwood shade trees ideal for both rafters and kayakers.

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

The area is composed of ancient Vishnu schist rock formations and offers excellent wildlife viewing opportunities including bald eagles, bighorn sheep, and mule deer, though motorized and non-motorized boats both use this section of river.
