White River Falls is a Forest Service campground along the White River in the Wenatchee River Ranger District of the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest, about 11 miles from Lake Wenatchee. It sits near a waterfall, and the rocks around it call for caution. Vault toilets are provided. There is no trailer turnaround, so plan accordingly if you're towing. Summer is the most comfortable time to camp here. Typical averages from the nearby weather station at Plain, Washington, run to highs around 82°F in July and August with lows near 50°F, and those months average only about three wet days each. The Indian Creek Trail and Panther Creek both start within a mile of camp, and Grasshopper Meadows campground is about a mile away. Napeequa Crossing campground is roughly 3 miles off.
