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.

Very beautiful place. The cabins are so beautiful inside with the stone walls and wood burning stove. Very clean and decorated well. The beds are new and very comfortable. The camp store and our hosts were very nice. We loved taking easy hikes along the rim trail and hiking through the forest. We can’t wait to come back in the fall to see all the leaves.

White Rock Mountain is one of our favorite places to visit. The cabins are charming and cozy. They date back to the 1930's, so they're a little rustic, but they are expertly maintained and have all of the creature comforts. The staff at the campground are very friendly and welcoming, and helped us find some great hiking in the area. We can't wait to come back!

Cabin was great. It was cold and Dan on fireplace was not working. Fireplace didn’t warm whole cabin for sure but I kept a roaring fire going. I was a bit disappointed that I had to buy wood to burn in the fireplace to keep warm for my second night. Overall, a good experience. I would love to go back.

There is a lot of dirt road to travel with some steep grades getting to the camp. The camp ground is really nice and secluded. The RV sites are nonelectric and will accommodate a small trailer. There is a table and fire pit on each site. Mine is only 12 feet so it fit nicely. . There is potable water close by and pit toilets which are very well maintained and stocked. There are no shower facilities. There is a store on site with a few odds and ends. The host is fantastic. Great people. Firewood is available at a modest price but they deliver right to your campsite. The Rim trail is about 1.5 miles and pretty easy with connections to the Ozark trail. It does follow along some high cliffs so be careful with animals and small children. They are dog friendly and the folks at the store keep a few doggie treats for your fur buddies. I'm sure I will go back there again.

Wonderful experience. The cabin was cozy, rustic, and breathtaking. Space and facilities were incredible, wonderful touches such as rainfall showerhead. Wood stove was easy to use and kept the cabin warm on the chilly nights. Hiking abounds, waterfalls are all around and the views at sunset are stunning from the rim trail.

The cabin was very chilly when we arrived, but the fire started nicely and it eventually warmed up. The wood stove insert is definitely an upgrade from a fireplace! We appreciated the electric fireplace in the bedroom, too! It was wonderful to step out the back door and see the beautiful views, and walk the rim trail right from our cabin. The caretakers that we met at the general store were very friendly and helpful, and the general store itself was cute and well-stocked. We have talked about going up to stay in a cabin for years (maybe decades!) and are so glad we finally planned far enough ahead to do so.
