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.

Very clean and organized camp spot. It was my first time camping, and this turned out to be the perfect platform. really sweet staff at check-in. The campsite has access to fresh spring water through a pump. The campsite can accomodate 2-3 cars comfortably.

The drive to the campsite is through a lot of unpaved roads, would not recommend going here when it is raining/snowing as the roads get dangerous.

The cabin was great with old charm. The folks hosting the general store were friendly and accommodating. It's very isolated, with rough roads getting in, but that added to the experience. The view was amazing. I would camp there again.
