Diamond Rock is the uppermost campground on this section of the East Fork of the Black River. Small and closely knit, only small trailers can fit into these campsites. Diamond Rock is nicely shaded by ponderosa pines and sits just a few paces away from the river. The campground also contains a few sites that have wooden shelters that were built by the Civilian Conservations Corps (CCC) in the 1930's.

Fishing at Diamond Rock is great on light tackle as the fish tend to be a bit smaller as the river narrows is this area. Although, the last time I was there in 2004, I caught a nice 17" brown trout by the one lane bridge just a mile downstream from the campground.
