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.
