White Rock Mountain Recreation Area

Perched at 2,309 feet atop the rugged Ozark National Forest, White Rock Mountain Campground offers an unforgettable blend of stunning natural vistas, historical charm, and serene seclusion—a haven for nature enthusiasts seeking a true back-to-basics experience. This campground contrasts typical crowded recreational sites with its intimate setup of nine primitive campsites, equipped with essentials like tent pads, fire rings, picnic tables, and grills, all shaded beneath a dense forest canopy.

The campground features clean vault toilets, two potable water spigots, and a convenient on-site General Store stocked with firewood, ice, and snacks. While small RVs or pop-up campers are permitted at select sites, the campground has no hookups, ensuring a quiet, generator-free environment where the tranquility of the mountain prevails. For those craving more comfort, historic stone cabins and a lodge—renovated with original Civilian Conservation Corps craftsmanship—offer rustic luxury with full kitchens and cozy wood-burning stoves.

Located near Winslow, Arkansas, White Rock Mountain serves as the gateway to an outdoor adventure paradise. Highlights include the scenic 2-mile White Rock Rim Trail featuring breathtaking bluff overlooks, connections to the 170-mile Ozark Highlands Trail, and nearby attractions like Shores Lake and the Mulberry River, perfect for fishing, swimming, or floating. Whether you’re a day hiker, weekend camper, or seasoned backpacker, White Rock Mountain provides a pristine retreat steeped in the natural beauty of the Ozarks.
