An amazing experience! Our group had multiple Rv sites and 2 of the Riverfront cabins- the large one and a smaller one. It was so clean, well kept and problem free. The staff are eager to help with anything you need with someone a call or text away. We will be back.

Loved our fishing vacation at the blue heron. The house is right on the river, and you can cast in from the shore ! No pesky steps. Clean beautiful location, staff was friendly and attentive. House was clean and well maintained with everything we needed for our stay. Multiple beautiful outdoor seating options with bonfires to watch the river and the sunsets. And only a 20-minute Drive to Bull Shoals

We stayed a week at the Blue Heron Campground and really enjoyed our vacation. Michael and Sheryl, the camp staff took made sure we had everything we needed. The rooms were clean and had an amazing view right on the river. Michael took us a river 12 miles with a canoe and we floated the river twice catching many many fish. We will definitely be back. If you’re looking for the best trout fishing experience in Cotter, Arkansas, look no further than Blaine’s Trout Fishing Guide Service. This trip exceeded every expectation. My wife unexpectedly got sick before our trip, but Blaine didn’t hesitate to take me out on a solo adventure. Instead of just sticking to the usual spots, he showed me some incredible backwater creeks and less crowded parts of the White River that I never would have found on my own. It made the day an true adventure. The fishing was phenomenal—we landed around 30 trout throughout the day! One of the most unforgettable moments came when I accidentally hooked a giant spoonbill. It wasn’t what we were targeting, but it made for an exciting battle and a memory I’ll be talking about for years. Between catching fish, Blaine shared some incredible stories about the legendary giant brown trout that have come out of the river. His knowledge of the water, the fish, and the history of the area made the entire experience even more enjoyable. What impressed me most, though, was learning about Blaine’s dedication to active-duty military members and veterans. The work he does to honor those who have served is truly inspiring, and it’s especially meaningful as our nation celebrates its 250th anniversary. Supporting someone who gives so much back to those who have sacrificed for our country makes booking a trip with Blaine an easy decision. If you want an outstanding guide, great company, incredible fishing, and an unforgettable day on the water, I can’t recommend Blaine’s Trout Fishing Guide Service highly enough. I’ll definitely be back! The campground is amazing, too. The picturesque scenery is absolutely stunning. The guests have all been friendly and, quiet and very respectful. The trout fishing from the bank is awesome, too!

First let me say that " Sheryl and Michael are awesome"! They went above and beyond for us at every opportunity. The RV park is very well maintained, a beautiful setting and quiet evenings. We stayed here from March through July 2026 while looking for a home in Bull Shoals. We found the house of our dreams there, and we could not be happier. Thank you, Sheryl and Michael. We appreciate your kindness and friendship.

This is now one of our favorite RV resorts! We met up with family here, as it was centrally located for us, and the Trout fishing can’t be beat. It is super dog friendly, which is much appreciated when we travel with our Doberman and Shih-tzu. The grounds are meticulously maintained, and the manager is more than accommodating. Thank you for offering an amazing RV experience, and we will certainly be back!
