"We had a great weekend at White Oak Lake, enjoying having the tents-only loop to ourselves, fishing (some basic tackle is available in the Visitor Center), meeting friendly people on the playground, being"
"There are sites NEAR the lake. One of our favorite spots is about 30’ from the water. Fishing from the bank is close by and a boat ramp is close too. There have been trophies taken from this lake."
$30 / night
"Lots of fishing and places around close by to hunt. I will be back. Thank you so much Jason and Ashley. God bless you both for all the information you shared with us."
"It is surrounded by three ponds full of catfish that the owners allowed us to fish in. The internet connection is the best we have experienced. All the equipment was new."
"Great ranger led boat tour of the lake. Lots of nice level sites. Super cool yurts for rent that have the best views! Arkansas has the best State Parks!"
"Nice campsites, lakeside, lake view and in the woods, YURT rentals have the best location, DeRoche Ridge second best if you want to be right next to the lake."

"Great spot to stop right off the highway. Nothing fancy, but clean & everything was easy to navigate."

"The Iron Mountain trail system is adjacent to the campground. I love the rustic simplicity of the place. It is older but well maintained and clean. Its such a peaceful and beautiful place."
"This campground is on a tall ridge so there is no walk out to the water. You can view the water from most sites though. We prefer the wooded area."
"This is a nice Campground with a small lake, very clean and good space between RV."
TravelerSpent night here mid week..only a couple of vehicles came through
TravelerI’ve reviewed the campground before, for other sites. Most are level and plenty of room/parking length. This site 30 is cramped and has a passenger side tilt to it. I have a 26’ (tip to tail) TT and a crew cab pickup… they will not fit in the campsite end to end, much less with some room to get in to the tailgate. Once unhooked, I had to angle the truck in to overlap the tongue of the TT. Ended up with a 3 inch riser to level the trailer side to side, which puts the first step about 17 inches up. To add to it, there is no level surface much further than the step before the site slopes off steeply with pine needles. The site just seems like the Park wanted to jam another spot in to make 45$ extra a night on busy times. I would not recommend site 30, to anyone. Tent campers would be even worse off, as the tent pad area is back closer to the road.
GuideThis campground was very easy to find. There are signs pointing you in the right direction, and finding our spot was simple. We arrived after the office was closed, but there was an envelope that said “Welcome Smith” outside the office that included maps and a magazine for Hot Springs, as well as some tidbits of the town and things to do. I loved that touch, very educational and helpful. Our spot included full hookups, and was plenty spacious enough for our truck and teardrop. There were lots of other people with over 40ft long rigs, and it looked like they had plenty of space too. Our spot also had a picnic table. The main lounge includes bathrooms, showers, and even a tv lounge. The bathrooms and showers were VERY clean. It is obvious that someone is taking very good care of this park, down to folding the toilet paper into neat triangles. Just a short walk from our spot was a boat ramp into the lake. Beautiful scenery. We really enjoyed staying here for the night!
GuideWe were excited to finally find a free camp area for our RV and drove into the wild for this one but when we arrived there were lots of people camping out with little space or privacy. Guess it depends on the season. But super beautiful forest and lake!!
TravelerI needed a place to come in late that was safe and quiet. This spot is perfect. Expensive but worth it for the cleanliness and safety.
TravelerThis was such a nice place. Could not believe how clean the bathrooms were at all times.
GuideGreat view, great spot, very clean and dispersed. Spot 45 has an incredible view on the lake. We’re here in April and were almost alone. Very nice Host at the entry as well! We’ll def come back!
TravelerQuiet if you get a stop in the back area. Drove the other side and was close to highway so not sure on noise. Have a spot to rent boats and bikes and a few nice trails. Spot we had was perfectly level.
TravelerThe directions/ coordinates are wrong. Go to contact info or look it up on Google Maps.
