White horse Lake campground is an excellent dry camping campground. Unfortunately the road going into it is ridiculously rough. They said that there was a greater out there in May but they did very little work and it shows. We did find a little smoother way in than the one that comes up on Google maps which was a relief but still there's no need for that much washboard when all they have to do is grade it down. Put the campground is fantastic and the camp hosts are incredible.... We had a spot right on the lake and truly enjoyed ourselves.

We really loved our time at this amazing campground. The sites are clean and spacious. The bathrooms are very clean. The host I have to do a big shout out they were so amazing . We were at site 55c. They stopped took time to talk to our kids and even lend him a fishing pole in which made his day. He caught a catfish and a trout Thank you for the memories that our boys will forever remembers

Beautiful lake campground with no electricity or water hookup. If you bring a boat. only trolling motor allowed. No motor boats of any kind. You have a long ride down a dirt road to get here. Doable but even with a travel trailer.

This place is packed with people, ATVs, and cars. Feels like you’re still in the city with trees and a lake around. Bunch of noise during the day from all the cars, ATVs and golf carts. If you have the campsite by the bathroom, you’ll always have an audience. The campsites are very close together. The campsite and bathrooms are clean and they have TP in there so that’s the only good thing I noticed. There’s also no shade near the lake so if you go fishing, its hot and you’re bald and forget your hat, you’ll get your head sunburned. Or if you do have hair, you’ll be sweating your butt off while trying to catch something, which most likely will be seaweed because the fish there like to jump up and tease but won’t bite the worm on your fishing hook; my 11 yr old concluded this about the fish.
