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.

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.

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!
