Very nice, quiet, family friendly campground. Large, level camp sites. Hiking trail, fishing, boating, kids on bikes, and camp fires. We plan to camp at Whitebreast in the future!

Our first camping experience at whitebrest, and we loved it. I had originally reserved #79 it looked nice and shady, upon arrival I realized it was not enough shade and not flat enough for our tent. Luckily #77 across the road was open, and not reserved online. I thought I had changed reservation site numbers online, but when checking in at the host stand Sara told me the change hadnt gone through but she would make sure the proper changes were made. I could not thank her enough! Sara was so happily accommodating to the change, (Ive been to a few places that are not as friendly and jovial) highly recommend camping here!! Thank you again Sara!!

I love camping at Whitebreast and have been doing so, along with my cousins, for years! The sites are well maintained and the staff have always been very helpful.

There were some very rude campers in the area that didn't not respect quite hours. Were yelling and screaming on a microphone most of the afternoon and evening.
@MargaretWA1514 · Camped on May 23, 2025 at Campsite #17
Every thing was great.

The campsites are a nice distance apart from each other. The bathrooms were very clean.
@KareyM92F6830F · Camped on May 2, 2025 at Campsite #69
The campsites were roomy, it was quiet, and we had a nice view of Lake Red Rock. Restrooms and showers are very clean. Our camp hosts were helpful. There were several trails nearby for hiking, and our grandkids enjoyed the playground near the entrance of the campground. We also enjoyed the Visitor Center by the dam that had a lot of information about the history of the area. We would camp here again.

We really enjoy white breast campground in the spring. Last year there were over 100 Blue Jays all round our camper. We saw several Blue Jays this year, along with many other birds. The host was very helpful. I had a low tire on my trailer, and he help me fill it.

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.

The hosts are always amazing!! Sites are always clean! Thank you for taking care of us!!
@NancyL5001540 · Camped on Aug 2, 2024 at Campsite #99
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.
@VickiH6045796 · Camped on Jul 12, 2024 at Campsite #32
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!
@bobm4718565 · Camped on May 2, 2024 at Campsite #96
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.

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.
