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 camp host is what makes this place so special. One reason i keep coming back is the camp host always so friendly and treats everyone up there like family.
I heard their contract is up in June and someone new might be hosting.
This makes me sad because the host is what makes the experience so special.
I hope you consider keeping the current hosts.

This is our second time at White Rock, we love it! Even at full capacity this campground feels like you almost have it to yourself. You have to do the rim trail, and we also love the Rattlesnake Falls trail! We've done both trails both times we've and visited highly recommend. The host and caretakers are topnotch.

The campground owner, Amber, was so helpful when we were trying to decide where to hike. The surrounding trails had a variety of difficulty levels, from the longer 13 mile loop to the short rim trail up at the top, but they were all beautiful! The campground was scenic and peaceful and exactly what we were hoping for. I recommend a longer stay as there is so much to see and do in the area, we were there about 4 days and wished we had planned a longer trip. We had a blast and hope to go back!!

Fabulous Site and Campground! The road up is a bit treacherous if you are not used to mt or gravel road driving, but doable for almost all vehicles if you take it slow. Also the staff was so helpful and nice.
