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.

The campground was beautiful! And the staff was super friendly and informative. It’s a short walk to the overlook and there is a nice 2-mile trail all along the rim. Difficult to run it but would be great for a leisurely stroll. Expect about 10 miles of winding and bumpy dirt road to get up to the campsite, but it’s worth the trip!
