Rodney Tingle
This will be the longest review I've ever done because there is so much good to say. Chris was very responsive and helpful from the start. We have rented prolly 100 airb&b, VRBO and others and the overall service, attention to detail and hospitality was top notch. We were blown away upon arrival to see the cabin was in immaculate condition. squeaky clean from front to back. very nice furniture and bed. what a view!!! just that alone was well worth the price. you have a view from the bottom porch, the top deck and inside the cabin. yes even inside. Mike the park host was so friendly and attentive to everyone. This cabin and owner is a 12 out of 10 I promise. Some started they didn't realize it was in an RV park but we camp alot and it's a great park with some of the best spots I've seen. Electric, water and sewer options with concrete slab. Some waterfront. Eat at Gastons if you get a chance. It's a brunch buffet that's unbelievable. Thank you Chris and we will be back many times!!

This is easily the most beautiful camping spot in Cotter, Arkansas. Spent two nights tent camping right on the White River. The price was more than fair (less than all the others we looked at) and the upkeep of this campground was amazing. The staff was friendly and very welcoming, I accidentally parked in a place I shouldn’t have and i was informed with pleasant conversation by the end I didn’t remember doing anything wrong. I will definitely be returning and recommending this to everyone I know. Thanks for a great weekend.

This is our second time camping at Blue Heron Campground Resot and we loved it. The sites are a great size and really level. Hookups are close and the internet works great. Nice picnic tables at all sites and cleaned out fire rings. We love being by the river and watching everyone fish. It’s quiet, clean and has all the amenities.

Wonderful stay here in our camper right on the river! Michael & Sheryl were extremely friendly & nice upon arrival and throughout our stay. Loved the spacious concrete pad with built in fire pit & Adirondack chairs. We will definitely be back!
