The location is beautiful and tucked away nicely in the mountains. The cabins are exactly what you would think of as a rustic mountain cabin with few niceties like kitchen appliances, running water, and a nice bathroom. It’s the perfect getaway for a romantic weekend or vacation away from modern life, although cell service is available.
The only problems I had with my New Years vacation with my girlfriend was the cold and lack of heating capacity. I was in cabin C. The door to the back porch had a broken window repaired with tape, there was a 1/2-1” gap of free space under that door and most of the windows would not seal near completely. None of this would be a problem if the fireplace could put off enough heat. I grew up in Michigan and have had a wood burning stove my entire life to heat my house. This stove in cabin C even when I got the fire ripping and the damper closed down, which I don’t think was working properly, could barely heat us sitting on the floor 5 feet away from the fireplace. We ended up having to get the fire blazing with the stove full then using the tiny space heater to help keep the main room
Warm enough to hang out and have dinner.
All things considered and now knowing about the lack of heating capacity I still plan on making many more trips here and planning accordingly.

White Rock Mountain was FABULOUS! We parked about 10 miles away and hiked in on the Ozark Highlands Trail (which was nice, but mostly unspectacular in that section). But the view from the top of White Rock was incredible, and the sunset is possibly the most beautiful one I've ever seen! We camped in a tent, but we look forward to going back sometime with my wife's parents and staying in one of the cabins, which looked very nice.

I camped here in October 2019 and the only complaint I have is that I was too early for full color leaf peeping. The views are breathtaking, trails well maintained, the campsites were clean, the staff was wonderful and the water from the artesian well was some of the best I've drank. I was a little concerned about towing my small, teardrop size trailer up and down the 7 mile gravel road but it was a piece of cake. When I first arrived my cell service was spotty but after following the directions the staff gave me, turn phone off and on so that it connects to the closest tower, I had no more issues....... def going back.

One of the best mountain areas around Western Arkansas and North-East Oklahoma.

The overall experience was wonderful - clean, well kept camp ground and amenities. The White Rock Mountain area is beautiful. Trails are well marked and easy to navigate. My sons and I thoroughly enjoyed the trip and will definitely come back in the coming years.

The views are AMAZING, some of the best I've seen in Arkansas. The park is very clean and well maintained, and the owners are so so nice. We stayed in one of the cabins for two nights. They brought wood we bought at the main little store straight to the door and helped us with a minor bug issue inside the cabin (nothing major, just a spider we were allergic too). We were made to feel right at home. I'm already trying to plan another trip up the mountain!!!

This place is beautiful and serene. The people are nice. There is a lake nearby, but across the street from it there is a lovely creek that is a better place to swim. The drive up is a little nerve wracking, but it does not require an SUV or truck.
