Write a ReviewNo, Black Mountain Backpacking Camp offers no full hookups. Tent campers hike 1.5 miles to sites with zero electric, water, or sewer connections, and no 30- or 50-amp service. Chemical toilets serve the area. A spigot provides non-potable water for washing. Bring purified drinking water and plan for primitive setup.
No, Black Mountain Backpacking Camp bars all pets. Dogs remain prohibited across the entire Monte Bello Open Space Preserve to shield wildlife and preserve quiet. No leashes or dog areas allowed. Arrive pet-free or risk citations from rangers.
Stays run $2 per night per camper. Permits for one- or two-night trips come via online application and invoice after space confirmation. Check the calendar first, then apply at least one week ahead on a first-come basis. Overnight parking at Monte Bello lot needs its own permit.
