White Oak Campground is a primitive campground. It has eight individual and two group campsites for tent camping. Only tent camping is permitted.
Price: Campsites rent for $20 per night for an individual site and $30 per night for a group site.
I camped at this campground (site 7) after completing the 15.5 mile Scout Trail loop (aka "Hiking Trail" and Yellow trail) that runs through Oak Openings. I was able to park my car here in the morning, hop on the trail (which runs right through the campground), and return later in the day. The sites are very nicely spaced and shaded, and not right on the parking lot. There are no showers, but there are bathrooms with flush toilets. The firewood is free, which is amazing. There is also a dish washing station near the restrooms, with a huge sink and hot water. I absolutely loved my night here, as well as the hike. Definitely a great park.
We have the two group campground sites and they were wonderful for the 18 in our group. It is tent only. Wilderness only miles from the city. Flush toilets cleaned every day. There is a pavilion for the campers but picnic areas are in other areas of the park.
Love this campground. Went twice this summer and will definitely be back next year. Very clean bathrooms, modern firewood purchasing system on site, decent amount of privacy. No showers, but we only stayed two nights - nothing some large body wipes can't take care of.
Good location for families with children. There’s a play set in the campground and only 5 mins away are trails and more playgrounds. The dishwashing station was helpful and grey water disposal conveniently located. Facilities were clean and well stocked.
The downside was lack of privacy. You can see surroundings campsites even at night and the road is very close by (although quiet at night).
