"Located beyond a perfectly canopied gravel road and surrounded by miles of mostly uninhabited forests White Rock Mountain has been the most delightful treasure of 2016."
"The views, as other reviewers have said, are impressive and the Rim Trail is worth doing any time of day and any season."
$10 - $22 / night
"Camped near the river and had a wonderful time exploring the off-road trails near the area."
"This is one of the best campgrounds in Arkansas. Dog friendly"
"Access to Spy Rock trail, but the vast amount of cobwebs made it seem like it’s not used much."
"Drinking water is available at spigots near the swimming hole.
There is a downside here, though, and it's a big one: horseflies."
$20 / night
"Devil's Den is a gorgeous parked tucked in the mountains of Arkansas. The primary campground for RVs is one of the better campgrounds I have seen. The facilities and amenities have been great. "
"The trails are great and our campsite had a path right down to the river. The water hookup was a bit tricky, it leaks all over the place until you turn it all the way."
$30 - $100 / night
"Near the Mulberry River and White Rock recreation area, the facility is an off road enthusiasts playground! Trails directly into the outback from the facility."

"There are walking trails, with Spy Rock a short distance away."

"It is one of the most beautiful spots in Arkansas. Highly recommend."
TravelerI just got back from staying here for a night. For one, it is a very narrow road but my minivan got through just fine. UNTIL I made it to a puddle of water (that I highly underestimated), got stuck in the mud immediately and had to call a tow company (by walking 15 minutes down the highway to get signal; no signal at all at the sites) to help pull me out for $400. The people at the tow company warned me that the forest service does NOT allow cars to drive on these roads anymore, and that is why they added guard rails. They told me that had I gotten caught with my car in there I would have had to pay a big fine. He said camping is fine as long as you park on the turnout by the highway and walk in. Saying all of that, there are still multiple really nice and spread out spots with nice huge firepits. I would have been fine with parking and walking in. Also, I was in pretty deep and could still hear the cars on the highway, but not many come by (at least not on a Tuesday night). The creek is nice. Also tons of fireflies which was cool.
TravelerWe stayed for one night heading west and due to the extreme heat Cracker Barrel w/ no electricity was out of the question. We reserved & paid online without a hitch and the power was switched on when we checked in. Ample room between sites and full hook-up available. It was our 1st time at one of these and would stay again if in a similar situation. Reserve ahead though as all 4 sites were taken by 3pm on a Sunday.
GuideThe coordinates are fairly accurate. The entryways are a little tight for vehicles, but I made it in my sprinter van so everything else should be just fine. Would’ve been a nearly perfect campsite. Had it not been for all the trash left by others. Nice walk trails along the water. Local stop in for swimming and fishing. Insect surprisingly weren’t that bad. Traffic from nearby road is almost nonexistent. Stay two nights no issues.
GuideIf you’re in the area for mountain biking and want more privacy and space than the other nearby campgrounds this place is an excellent option. The owner Damon is a really nice helpful and accommodating guy and his place is complete for primitive camping: grassy and (some) shady sites, fire pits (free firewood), very clean porta potty toilets and nice outdoor showers (hot water), water, outlets to charge devices, and good common areas loaded with helpful biking trail info. This place has lots of unique character, for example a renovated school bus used as a common area in case of inclement weather and even a complete bike cleaning station. One notable aspect: it is about a 10-15 min drive to the trails. If you’re a tent, car/van, or tear drop trailer camper, I highly recommend this place!
GuideWhat an excellent place to camp. The grounds are beautiful, facilities are clean and in great shape. The owner is knowledgable about the area and even loaned me some tools to help repair something on my van. The area is beautiful with great hikes and plenty of other things to do. I highly recommend staying here.
ScoutI have been camping out here for years but never took advantage of the A side. A12-14 are premian spots to camp. I tent camp and the view is amazing. It’s in between the Arkansas river and Massard creek. You can launch a boat or you can go kayaking in Massard creek. There’s Cat fish, Perch and, Bass.
ScoutVery nice people. Pet friendly. Parked the van for the night while paddling the Woka Whitewater Park They said they require 2 night minimum stay on the weekends
ScoutThis is more of a month to month rental place than it is for overnight stays and stops. The Wi-Fi is horrible here You cannot watch videos or anything like that on it. They charge you over the electrical limit but we used electricity all the time and never went over it. They have big pull through sides they have big park sides the picnic tables and some pretty good amenities there. But they didn't give you a deposit back. They're really bad about that. They stiff me on a $1,000 deposit even though I had a month to month rental. It was paid over that month and left two weeks early. Said that I had broke my lease. Laundry room is decent priced. Showers are great They only have hot water for about 15 minutes. It's in Sonora which is outside of Springdale, but convenient to Fayetteville.
ScoutThe ride in is a long one with steep grades and rugged terrain. Definitely don't bring a camper down here. Amazing views, very quiet and the river is absolutely breathtaking. This road isn't made for smaller vehicles so bring and SUV or a pickup.
