Families with kayaks or fishing gear get the most out of this place. Hargus Lake has on-site rentals, eagles and ospreys overhead, and site 9 is unusually large if you need the room. Hosts James, Teresa, and Nate get named in reviews more than the lake does.
No showers, and potable water at individual sites isn't guaranteed, reviewers reported none on at least one visit. Bring your own drinking water and a camp shower setup, or this gets uncomfortable fast on a humid Ohio summer weekend.

Black Canyon Reservoir is formed by Black Canyon Diversion Dam, a part of the Boise Project. Managed by the Bureau of Reclamation, this 1,100-acre reservoir offers 12 miles of shoreline. Boating and fishing are the major recreational activities at the reservoir, which is located northeast of Emmett in southwest Idaho. This site offers restrooms, boat ramps, camping, parking, picnic tables, swimming, and accessible facilities for fishing. Please visit https://www.usbr.gov/pn/snakeriver/landuse/blackcanyon/calendar.html. We do NOT take reservations over the phone.
The reservoir is located on State Route 52 between Emmett and Horseshoe Bend.

Summer brings daytime highs in the mid-70s to mid-80s°F with humid evenings, the busiest season for swimming, paddling, and fishing. Boat ramps and the camp store operate on regular hours, and the playground and day-use areas see weekend crowds in July and early August. Spring and fall are quieter and cooler, still good for hiking and fishing but with fewer families. Bug precautions help in warm months. The lake is occasionally drained for maintenance, which limits boating temporarily.
Peak season with warm days. Most facilities open. Reserve ahead.
