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!

Good spot. We had our camper We used their bathrooms and found them clean and the shower well kept. They were air conditioned and bug free (it matters). They had a wedding while we were there which i wasn’t sure how that would go but it was off to the edge and no big deal. The trash facilities are at the edge so no big issues. No critter issues. It rained but it’s well maintained so no mud issues. Ample wood to buy for campfires Lots of things that go wrong at other camp sites they had covered. Power and water were steady. There is no camp store but there is a grocery store near and several c-stores local. Lots of hiking and canoeing around. Good place.

We just finished spending a month at the Blue Heron Campground and Resort. It was absolutely fantastic! Michael, Sheryl and Paul do a great job keeping the campground and facilities in immaculate shape. They work well as a team and are very knowledgeable about the area. They went out of their way to ensure that all our needs were met and questions answered. Their location on the White River meant we just feet away from some of the best trout fishing in the country. In addition to the fishing we enjoyed a month of exploring the arts, crafts, festivals, caverns, lakes and excellent dining in the area. Our stay was very affordable and we'll definitely be back next year! Thanks again Michael, Sheryl and Paul for a wonderful stay! Rich Wallace
