We loved our stay at White Rock Mountain! Amber and Ross were such incredible hosts. The view out of the Lodge where we stayed was so amazing - made our morning coffee and evening fires so memorable. We can't wait to visit again!

This is one of the best campgrounds I have ever camped at! As our camp host said, it features the best view in the entire state of Arkansas. The staff at the campground are incredibly friendly and helpful, amd went out of their way to make my companions and I feel welcome. We had just ridden our bikes all the way up the mountain in the rain, and when we arrived we were almost delirious with joy and exhaustion. They made pizza and delivered it to our campsite on an ATV, along with firewood and some lighter fluid! The campground is beautiful and clean with wonderful views, and a spigot with clean clean water. I have already recommended White Rock Mtn campground to everyone I've told about our bikepacking adventure! Just a really great experience all around.

I rented cabin C for two nights. The views are stunning and the cabin is perfectly equipped. The cabin also was spotless!
I have to say that the folks who run the area--Ross and Amber--made the experience even more wonderful. They are friendly, helpful, and full of positive energy. I would definitely return.

The recreation area is beautiful. Everywhere you look a better view. Cabin C was clean and quiet. Exactly what I was looking for and only 50 yards from the trailhead. I highly recommend this for a break from the city. The hosts are very hospitable and willing to take the time to share information. You won't regret going here.

The cabins were perfect!! Comfortable beds, fully stocked kitchen, space heaters and wood fireplace. Just bring your food to cook. The views were spectacular!!! Nice hiking trail around the rim and the sunsets were amazing!! Great trails to take the Jeeps out on. Definitely a place to unplug and enjoy the view.
