Camping at Whitebreast Camp near Knoxville

Public campground · Knoxville · 105 campsites · 2 group

A forested campground near fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. RV fit varies by site.

About this campground

The lake itself offers strong boating and fishing opportunities anglers commonly target crappie, walleye, largemouth and striped bass, channel and flathead catfish, northern pike and bluegill and miles of marked water trails make paddling practical along the shoreline. A paved hiking and biking route (the Volksweg Trail) connects the area with Pella and nearby recreation sites, and there are several miles of other trails for hiking and biking; environmental-education programs and shoreline wildlife viewing are regular draws.

How far ahead to book Whitebreast Camp

For May weekends, book about 137 days ahead. Three in four May Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 61 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

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 (20,600 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.
