About
US Forest Service campground. White Oak Boat-In Campground is one of two boat-in campgrounds on Laurel River Lake. The area is accessible by boat or via Cold Rock School Trail #430 (3 miles) that begins near Marsh Branch Boat Ramp. The campground has 39 first come, first served lakeshore campsites, most of which are located near the water's edge with boat moorings available. Sites have a tent pad, picnic table, fire ring and lantern pole. The sites are wooded and spaced far enough apart to provide a sense of seclusion. Open season: April 25 - September 28. Not reservable through Recreation.gov, so plan on first-come, first-served; check with the ranger district for current conditions and fees.
