White Rock Campground sits within Coronado National Forest, accommodating RVs up to 22 feet alongside walk-in tent sites. The US Forest Service facility provides drinking water, restrooms, and picnic tables, with campfires and pets permitted throughout the grounds. Sites vary in size and spacing, with some offering more room than others.
Located directly beside Peña Blanca Lake, the campground puts fishing access within walking distance. Road noise from adjacent traffic affects the camping experience throughout the day, and cell service remains unavailable. The lake itself draws families for day-use activities. Campers exploring the region can find places to camp near Nogales for additional options in the area.
Description
A short distance from Peña Blanca Lake, White Rock is not large, so it is usually quick to fill. That’s especially true during the hot days of summer -- the peak season for the lake and the campground. Campsites at White Rock are located on the banks of Peña Blanca Creek in the shadow of a rocky cliff that gives the area its name. A portion of the rock actually splits the campground into two sections. Thirteen campsites make up Upper White Rock and are accessible off Forest Road 39. Two others make up Lower White Rock and are accessible off the road that leads to the lake.
