Diamond Rock Campground has 3 sites that feature Adirondack style three-sided
shelters that were built by the depression-era Civilian Conservation Corps
before the age of large, car drawn campers.

Campsites are located a few steps from the stream to protect the Black River's
unique riparian zone, but access to the river is easy as the undergrowth
serves more to enhance the river's picturesque nature than to obstruct easy
passage.

<h2>Overview</h2>
Caldwell Cabin allows up to six visitors to step back in time to a more rustic and historical era in eastern Arizona. Originally constructed in the 1920s, it was a one-room homestead, but the cabin was expanded around 1940, to include a bathroom, small bedroom and living room with a fireplace. Visitors can relax on the front porch and take in the scenic views, or head out for a day of nearby hiking, mountain biking or fishing.
