Beautiful Lake, Decent Campground

“I recently stayed at White Rock Campground in Peña Blanca Lake. The campground is clean, and some sites offer more space than others, which is nice. However, there’s no cell signal, and the location right next to the road means you can hear cars passing by throughout the day. I’d rate it a 6/10. On the bright side, fishing at Peña Blanca Lake is great, it’s a beautiful spot and a great place to spend the day with family. Overall, the campground could be better, but the lake itself makes it worth the trip
