(PLACERVILLE, CALIFORNIA) Oct 19, 2022 — Blackwood Canyon Campground closed for the season on Oct. 16, 2022. This closure is earlier than in previous years because USDA Forest Service concessionaire, Tahoe Recreation, is now managing the campground and closure dates will now be consistent with closure dates for other National Forest campgrounds at Lake Tahoe.
