About White Rock Campground

Tucked away in a sea of towering ponderosa pines, White Rock Campground offers an intimate escape at the gateway to Mill Creek Wilderness. This secluded forest retreat sits just a short stroll from the Wildcat South Trailhead, where adventure beckons and the sounds of civilization fade into memory. Here, campers discover a perfect basecamp for wilderness exploration, wrapped in the vanilla-scented embrace of ancient pines and the promise of untamed trails ahead.
White Rock Campground has highly limited accommodations, consisting of two campsites equipped with fire rings and picnic tables. Its emphasis is on primitive camping without modern facilities.
