"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."
"A 7-hour drive later, we arrive to what can only be described as a hobo camp. Bad doesn't come close to describing this place."

"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."
TravelerWe 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.
TravelerNice little campgrounds, quiet, and peaceful. You'll enjoy the lake on your kayak while you fish and watch the sunset or sunrise. Not all campsites are level, only about 4 of them, but the other won't take much to level out your camper. There are 4 pavilions, and most sites have picnic tables. Clean bath and showers area, also handicap accessible.
ScoutGravel parking lot with painted stripes, a patch of grass growing under the picnic table, and full hookups. Be sure to back in centered, others are complaining about hitting their slide outs. Watch your step. One of the long-term residents isn't picking up their dog waste. The nicest spot in the whole place is the little fenced-in dog spot overlooking the canal that makes its way out to the lake you can't see from here.
LegendMy first impressions of this site were terrible. The Bathrooms are extremely old and honestly seem like they're rotting down. The playground area is small but jot terrible. The area for rvs is pretty cramped with no privacy. Luckily while talking to some folks there they directed us on down the road. There are two more sections specifically for primitive camping that are really nice. There are a couple picnic tables and fire rings. There is also a nice pond. The cell signal isn't terrible but it's a bit hit and miss for internet.
Overall, I would suggest it but don't expect to use their showers or bathroom. Go a couple minutes down the road and use the state parks showerhouse. It's really nice.
