White Rock Campground
Hidden deep within a dense ponderosa pine forest, this campground is located on the southeast edge of Mill Creek Wilderness. The campground is walking distance from the Wildcat South Trailhead.
On the way to the campground, you will pass the White Fir Springs agate beds that are popular for rockhounding, but otherwise there are few developed recreational draws to the area, which makes it the perfect place to have your own forest adventure.
The final mile into the campground is a rough section of road. High-clearance 4WD vehicles are recommended.
Visit our Rocks & Minerals page for more information on rockhounding.

RV Camping
It is a rather rough road into this campground and only 1 of the three campsites is large enough to accommodate recreational vehicles or trailers. Additionally there are no hook-ups available so visitors should be self-contained. For those reasons, even though camping here with a recreational vehicle or trailer can be done it is not recommended.
