Camping at White Rock Mountain Recreation Area near Winslow

Public campground · Winslow · 12 campsites · 1 group

A forested campground near fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.

About this campground

Perched near the top of White Rock Mountain at about 2,309 feet, the recreation area is best known for its 1930s Civilian Conservation Corps stone lodge and three stone cabins, all painstakingly restored to their original character by volunteers and Forest Service staff. The lodge and cabins are rented separately from campsites and offer modern conveniences you won't find at a primitive site: electricity, running water, full kitchens stocked with stove, refrigerator, microwave, coffee pot, crock pot, dishes and cookware, private bathrooms, and large patios with charcoal grills and fire pits.

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.

Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (6,336 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
