We had a great time here. The camp hosts were very nice and helpful. The hikes were beautiful. One of the best views of Arkansas is about a 5 min walk from the campsites. It was breathtaking. The road to get up there wasn’t as bad as we were expecting, but it’s still not an easy trek. We camped during the first week of July, which we regret because it was super hot. The gnats and flies were really bad as well. But we do want to come back here in the future during the fall to see the changing colors of trees.

Very clean and everyone is so nice. Wonderful view to wake up to. Wasn’t sure if it was the time of year that we went but the bugs were so horrible it took us a minute to set up camp. Good swimming spot under the bridge and plenty of hiking trails! The general store has everything you need if you left something at home.

Had a medium sized group at site 9 with plenty of space for; 3 tents 2 (could fit 3) cars & 3 hammocks easily, with 2 durable stone tables & plenty of extra room.
About 30-50 yards downhill into the forest following a small footpath will take you to a portion of the rim trail and has a incredible view if you hike down a little.
The staff upkeeping the grounds were extremely extremely friendly and overall I and my group couldn’t recommend white rock any more, the grounds are very well kept and the views can’t be beat. Will certainly be returning!
