White River Campground is a convenient stop or overnight spot, especially for those breaking up the Wonderland Trail into stages. With road access, it’s a good place to cache food in one of the bear boxes or meet a friend for resupply. It also serves as a trailhead for several routes. The campground has reliable water, composting toilets, picnic tables, and plenty of flat ground to rest. It sits close to the trail, making it easy to continue the next morning without adding extra mileage. It can get crowded in summer, so plan your resupply accordingly or avoid the peak season.
From July 11 to mid-October 2025, timed entry is required to access the Sunrise Corridor (which includes this campground) between 7 am and 5 pm. If you secure a campsite before 7 am, your permit can be used in place of a timed entry pass for the rest of your stay. Plan ahead, as both campsite and entry availability are not guaranteed.
