The Black Rock Field Office, in coordination with Friends of Black Rock-High Rock, Friends of Nevada Wilderness, and Stewards of the Black Rock Desert, is hosting the 2025 Black Rock Rendezvous in the Black Rock Desert.
The event will focus on public land stewardship, education, and outdoor recreation.
This family-friendly, 'Leave No Trace' campout includes guest speakers, planned activities, guided tours highlighting the region’s recreational, natural, and cultural features, and multiple stewardship projects.
Organizers say these projects will involve installing fences, placing signs, and repairing wilderness boundary signage.
The event will also include two evening gatherings: a potluck and dutch oven cook-off on one night, followed by a community potluck and campfire trivia on another night.
The basecamp for the event will be set up on the playa just north of the 12-mile access point near Cassidy Mine Road.
Attendees are expected to be self-sufficient and bring at least one gallon of water per person per day.
Organizers noted that an alternative location may be used if weather conditions impact access to the playa.
RSVPs are not required but are encouraged. Event information, updates, and registration details are available at the Friends of Nevada Wilderness Website.Â
