White River Campground

White River Campground is a public campground in the region, managed by National Park Service.

It sits on a national park unit with marquee scenery and ranger programs.

Sites here can be reserved in advance, and the campground books up on summer weekends and holidays.

This is a Public campground for tents and RVs.

Reserve sites ahead through the campground's reservation system; some loops may hold first-come sites.

Fees:

• To prevent theft we are now a cashless park. 
• Use the Recreation.gov Mobile App to pay the nightly camping fee when you arrive at the campground site. Prior to arriving at the campground download the Recreation.gov App to your mobile device and create a Recreation.gov account.
• You may also pay the $20/night fee at the "iron rangers" with your credit card information, with the ranger (intermittent staffing) or at the White River Entrance fee station on your way out.

This campground is good much of the year. Spring and fall bring mild weather and thinner crowds, while summer is busiest — book ahead or arrive early in the warm months.

White River Campground is reached by public road.

Book through the official reservation site linked on this page well ahead of summer weekends.

On-site and nearby you'll find Berry Picking, Birding, Camping, Day Use Area, Picnicking, Wilderness.

The surrounding country supports the classic the region mix of outdoor recreation.

Check the weather and any fire restrictions before you go, carry plenty of water, and be bear- and wildlife-aware where applicable. Cell service is often limited at campgrounds — download maps and tell someone your plans.

Practice Leave No Trace: pack out all trash, keep a clean site, and store food securely where wildlife is present. Observe posted quiet hours, fire restrictions and pet rules — campfire bans are common in dry summer months.

Reserve early for summer weekends and holidays, or arrive midday on a weekday for first-come sites. Bring layers, a headlamp, and your own water if potability isn't confirmed, and double-check the rig-length and hookup situation before towing in.
