About White Rock Mountain Recreation Area

Experience nature and adventure at historic White Rock Mountain! This National Forest Recreation Area features three unique and rustic natural stone cabins and a large natural stone lodge built in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). Each features a stone fireplace new, antique, and original wood furniture handcrafted by the CCC. Wind, rain and natural elements had caused the deterioration of the buildings over the years. In 1987 a volunteer group, Friends of White Rock, began a project to renovate the historic structures. With a lot of commitment and hard work, the lodge and cabins were restored to their original state in 1991. White Rock Mountain also offers nine primitive family camping sites. These easily accessible shaded campsites include tents pads, fire rings, grills, picnic tables and access to restrooms and water. Small RVs or pop-up campers can be accommodated at a few sites.

Number of accommodations: 13

Had a great visit to White Rock - the 47th annual gathering of friends from college days at the Univ. of Arkansas. Amber and crew do a great job of getting the cabins and Lodge clean and ready for occupancy. It's much nicer than it was in the '70's - and the store is very handy. A great rustic getaway with the most incredible views in the state.

Wow. I've stayed at some other Forest Service cabins, but nothing like this one. The cabin is huge and ornate. Gives you those cozy rustic feels. Not to mention a gorgeous view outside your door. The cabin has everything you need to prepare a meal. I was surprised at how well- equipped the kitchen was. Amber, the host, was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Highly recommend!

This was our second time at White Rock Mountain. I cannot tell you how much I love this place. Everyone is the office is so friendly. The accommodations are amazing, the view is unforgettable, and we cannot wait to go back. I highly recommend staying here. I have stayed in Cabin B and Cabin C. I like Cabin B better but Cabin C is great too. Don't forget to check out all the waterfalls when you are in the area!

We enjoyed the cabin and had a great time hiking around the rim and down to the waterfalls. Eating outside was refreshing after a cold winter. We will go back again. The cabin was very clean, and the terrace had an impressive view. We enjoyed the evening roasting marshmallows and drinking wine while the sun was setting.
