We really enjoyed our time at Whitebreast! The volunteers were friendly and did an incredible job keeping the campground nice. The facilities were clean and well maintained (thank you!) The beach was nice! There were picnic tables up by the parking lot as well as bathrooms and outdoor showers to get all the sand off. The swim area wasnt as big but we appreciated that all the kids could touch in all areas. We tent camped in spot number 88, which was perfect. We were close to the bathroom, across the street from the family bathroom, close enough to the wooded area to get sticks and wood for the fire. The grate on our fire pit was curved and didnt fit the entire pit, which made cooking challenging, but we managed to make use of it. There is no shade (yet) on this spot so bring a popup. However, there are two smaller trees that we used to tie our clothesline too. There is a dumpster, water spigot, and wood for sale by the entrance.

Great place to camp. Bathrooms and showers were decent and clean. The showers just need a longer curtain or lip on the floor to contain water. Nice overlook to the lake, but walking to it for this sites. Had some mowers come by at 8am one morning, otherwise quiet.

Beautiful lake, clean facilities, handy for a morning trip into Pella for Dutch bakery. Too hot to hike so we appreciated some shade up from the beach.

@RadonaMA2BAE63 · Camped on Jul 11, 2024 at Campsite #98

This was my first camping trip out on my own. The camp ground was beautiful! I dont have a bathroom in my camper and the bathroom facilities there were perfect. Very clean and well kept. Will definitely return!

@RobinWF47A82AD · Camped on Jul 11, 2024 at Campsite #102

No water hook up. Bathrooms not air conditioned. Was clean though

@MikeR7257230 · Camped on Jul 11, 2024 at Campsite #44

Campgrounds are always very neat, mowed and clean. Camp hosts very helpful and friendly. We arrived at lunchtime, so none was in the booth to check us in. Later they arrived at our site and checked us in so we didn't have to run back up to the booth.

@NateT7FDD5DFD2 · Camped on Jun 16, 2024 at Campsite #40

Please be mindful of your check out times and respect them. After finally getting settled in we had a great time at the beach, fishing and exploring. Red Rock never fails.

@sherrirC9227D3 · Camped on Jun 11, 2024 at Campsite #55

Camp ground is never a disappointment .we love to stay here. Bathrooms are always clean and bug free ! Fishing on the lake could be better but the lake is trying to remedy that by adding structures for fish.

@MaxwellJ832D7C · Camped on May 29, 2024 at Campsite #77

Whole stay was, as usual, awesome! Sites are larger than anywhere else we have camped!No problems at all except for a few bugs that bothered us.Staff volunteers kept everything from the fireplace pits to the restrooms in excellent condition, have no issues at all and will continue to camp here!

Nice calming weeking

@DarlaH5223249 · Camped on May 2, 2024 at Campsite #112

We were greeted by a friendly and helpful camp host at the check in booth. Our campsite was gavel and level and there was plenty of room between neighboring sites. We were near to a bathhouse that was clean and provided hot showers. The only thing that was missing was a garbage receptacle nearby.

@DavidA3218244 · Camped on May 2, 2024 at Campsite #14

Clean, large campsites, friendly staff

@PaulS8803282 · Camped on Sep 21, 2023 at Campsite #4

Camp sites need alot of attention pads are over crowned,sites with less grass need to have rocked areas with fire rings in that area,50 amp service on all sites, trees need trimmed at the sites, etc.

@RexBF05B0377A6 · Camped on Sep 17, 2023 at Campsite #68

Beautiful area. Well kept. Facilities clean.

@RichardF767024 · Camped on Sep 15, 2023 at Campsite #71

We love the view here. It's quiet and peaceful. We do get cell phone reception here as well.

@DixieHF8202D98 · Camped on Sep 1, 2023 at Campsite #1

We arrived after dark and the signs are very small to identify each site, but after driving around for a few minutes we finally found ours. I would say it is the best site in the park! There was no one on one side of us and we were right across from the shower house. Very beautiful place.

@SteveK1630665 · Camped on Aug 20, 2023 at Campsite #107

The park is very well kept, and bathrooms were clean. My only issue was I prefer to look at the sites before I take decide to one. We did that when we arrived and were followed into the park by the host and advised that we should register before we enter the park. I was towing a car and very much prefer to unhook the car in an overflow area then use the car to pick sites and register online. We were traveling in a group and wanted two sites next to each other.

@DavidA3218244 · Camped on Aug 5, 2023 at Campsite #52

Beautiful park. Nice sites. Our site had new rock that extended to the picnic area beside the camper. Very nice! Good Verizon cell coverage. Thank you for a great Knoxville Nationals week!

@JohnB8383631 · Camped on Aug 4, 2023 at Campsite #81

We were with some friends and could only reserve 4 days in Mead loop. Thanks to the wonderful host we were able to change our site and get sites in Coal Ridge loop with our friends. We had a great time, and may possibly return.

@RichardR254074 · Camped on Aug 1, 2023 at Campsite #51

Our experience at Whitebreast was great. Bob and Trisha Brown were very friendly and helpful. They do a great job keeping the bathrooms and shower houses clean.

@PatC0BD9FC544D · Camped on Jul 30, 2023 at Campsite #19

The staff is very accommodating. My only suggestion is to have more dumpsters distributed in the camp grounds.

@AshleyB6861526 · Camped on Jul 29, 2023 at Campsite #38

Amazing place to camp, great staff very helpful and pleasant, very clean place.

@MarilynW623480 · Camped on Jul 28, 2023 at Campsite #96

The camper sites at Ponco were very nice. They were large and a nice breeze overlooking Lake Red rock which was nice considering how hot it was outside.

@HarryDC639F316 · Camped on Jul 25, 2023 at Campsite #60

Very nice attendants, clean shower houses.

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
