First come, first served (FF) sites can't be reserved: you must claim one in person on the day you check in, be present, occupy the site and pay then. There is no waiting list.

A site listed as FF isn't guaranteed to be free, and Recreation.gov doesn't track FF occupancy; the only way to know is to arrive on the day. Weekends and holidays typically fill more quickly.

If you don't arrive by then and haven't cancelled, you forfeit the site and the first-night use fee. Check with the venue before you go.

A $10 service fee applies if you change or cancel a reservation, and it is deducted from the refund.

Cancelling within 24 hours before your arrival date forfeits the entire use fee. Check with the venue before you go.

No refunds for weather or natural conditions.

No-shows, early departures and cancellations after the arrival date aren't entitled to a refund.

If you booked at a discount without a Senior or Access pass, you'll pay the difference in cash or check on arrival.

Parking down in the canyon is only with a campsite or picnic site reservation, because the county and fire department limit how many vehicles are allowed there. RVs and trailers don't fit down the canyon: park in the large open gravel lot at the top of the canyon, which has no hookups, so come self-contained.

Hours aren't listed.

• Hike, climb, camp, take photos and enjoy the quiet; kids and adults alike can explore and climb around the rocks
• Three rock hills: the main White Rock is about 44 acres and rises some 375 feet; the south rock rises 185 feet and the west rock 145 feet
• Look for weathering features, which are hollows and openings the weather has worn into the rock: alcoves, honeycomb-type cavities, stacked caverns (the lowest is 6 feet high at its entrance) and a miniature arch about one foot high at the base of the west side
• Orange, yellow, black and tea-green lichen patterns the rock, mostly on north-facing slopes
• From the top of White Rock you see Skull Valley to the north and the Stansbury Mountains to the east
• White Rock Spring, a pond about 60 feet across at the west edge of the main rock, is mostly dry in summer
• Autumn and spring are the most pleasant times to visit, and weekends can be more crowded; sandy soils and juniper trees give shade for spring and fall camping
• Climbers, scouts, horse riders and target shooters visit the area
• About a dozen primitive first-come-first-served campsites sit around the bases of the rocks, most at the main rock

Map: https://geology.utah.gov/map-pub/survey-notes/geosights/geosights-white-rocks-tooele-county-utah/

• No services in Skull Valley: bring enough fuel and supplies
• No developed facilities, water or restrooms
• Dugway Proving Ground lies near the west and south edges of the area; trespassing there is prohibited
• Nearly all of the area is Bureau of Land Management land, but private, state, national forest and military land lie within a mile of White Rock
• White Rock has tall cliffs, steep slopes and loose, crumbling rock; use caution when climbing
• Dogs are allowed
