Flood Watch issued July 20 at 11:10AM MST until July 21 at 10:00PM MST by NWS Tucson AZ
* WHAT...Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be possible. * WHERE...Portions of Southeast Arizona including Graham, Greenlee, Cochise and Santa Cruz counties. * WHEN...Through Tuesday evening. The greatest risk is Monday afternoon and evening and again Tuesday afternoon and evening. * IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, dry washes, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - The combination of ample moisture across southeast Arizona and an upper-level disturbance moving into the area from New Mexico today will result in widespread showers and thunderstorms... especially south and east of Tucson. These storms will be capable of producing heavy rainfall, with localized rainfall amounts between 1 and 3 inches. Given how saturated soils are across the area from storms over the past week, there is an increased potential for rainfall runoff to produce flash flooding. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood

About
White Rock Campground occupies a scenic creekside setting in Peña Blanca Canyon, named for the dramatic white limestone cliffs that split the campground into two sections. Located in the Tumacacori Mountains of southern Arizona's Coronado National Forest, the campground provides convenient access to nearby Peña Blanca Lake, a 50-acre impoundment known for largemouth bass, bluegill, redear sunfish, and channel catfish. The campground is divided into Upper White Rock with 13 sites off Forest Road 39, and Lower White Rock with 2 additional sites accessible from the road leading to the lake. Mature oak trees shade the sites, which include picnic tables and fire rings. Vault toilets are provided, but there is no potable water, so campers must bring their own supply. Firewood is not available and must be brought in. Due to its small size and proximity to the lake, White Rock fills quickly during the hot summer months when the lake sees peak visitation. A maximum RV/trailer length of 22 feet applies, and stays are limited to 14 days. Pets are welcome on leash. The lake permits electric trolling motors only and offers a paved boat ramp, fishing piers, and shoreline trails.
Directions
Exit at Ruby Road on I-19, approximately 8 miles north of Nogales. Take Ruby Road (AZ Hwy 289) west about 9 miles to the campground.
