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.

Caretaker Michael did a good job registering us late one evening. We met the next day working hard but he took the time to talk and was a great 5 day host. Great personality and had everything looking great. Cheryl was camp manager and welcomed us as we toured the facilities. Wonderful home like hospitality and We saw her each day keeping everything clean, in order and looking good. Campground had a very Safe feel. Beautiful location right on the River. We would RETURN IN A HEARTBEAT !!

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!

We couldn’t love this campground more! The riverfront spots are absolutely dreamy and couldn’t ask for better customer service than Sheryl and Micheal. They are accommodating & friendly. We’re already repeat campers and can’t wait until our next trip back.

We love traveling to the White River. It's became an annual destination for us. When we go, we always stay at the Blue Heron. The campground is meticulously manicured, and the staff are great. Short drives to the Buffalo, Crooked Creek, and Norfork make for amazing fishing beyond the world-famous White River. Spend a day in Branson, MO. Regardless of your plans the folks at the Blue Heron will make your time amazing.

This was our second time staying here and we absolutely love it! It’s become to feel like home! Bathrooms are SO nice and clean. The campground is so well kept. Management is so nice, helpful and just all around wonderful! I hope they might put a pool or something in at some point for the kids being that the White River is too cold, but overall we absolutely love it here! When they do want to swim, we just take a short drive down to the Big Spring in downtown Cotter. My mother-in-law and her husband stayed in one of the lofts right beside us and it was darling!

Great location and grounds! Scenic and peaceful with easy White River access. Cool breezes off the river were awesome! The park is well maintained and clean with bathrooms and shower access. Michael and Cheryl are top notch in welcoming campers and making sure everyone is enjoying their stay. We will be back and probably bring others!

Everything is as advertised. We loved our 4 nights in cabin 1 on the river front. Everything is clean, and well maintained. The staff is easy to contact, and quick to help. Everything we needed was there. We will be back!

This was our fifth stay at Blue Heron and it was fantastic as always. The campground is clean and well kept. The staff is beyond friendly and helpful. The fishing is great and the river is easily accessed. We try to camp here as often as possible.

Blue Heron is such a beautiful place, and it's right on the banks of the White River! I just spent another couple of days there - my first Spring trip for 2025. Michael is so helpful and knowledgeable - I always enjoy talking rvs, fishing, and camping with him. The iris he's created throughout the grounds are up - looking forward to coming back soon and seeing them in bloom!

The people at Blue Heron Campground are some of the kindest and most caring individuals we’ve ever met. My daughter and I got our first camper at this campground, and Mike, the guy who runs the place, went above and beyond to help us. He showed us how to use a few things and even lent a hand when we needed it, which speaks volumes about the kind of people here. It's so rare to find that kind of genuine help in today’s world. While we were there, our beloved 8-9-year-old guinea pig passed away. Mike not only let us bury him at the campground but also went out of his way to make a cross for the grave. That level of compassion and care truly touched our hearts. There are so many more wonderful things I could say about this wonderful campground but I don't want to make the review too long I HIGHLY recommend this beautiful campground to anyone. The river is so beautiful. It was so peaceful here! I hope to visit again someday, and I wish nothing but the best for everyone there. Thank you so much for your kindness and compassion—it’s people like you who make the world a better place!

Such a lovely, clean, well managed campground. All the sites seemed very level, and the premium sites on the river had great fire pits. The bathrooms were the cleanest and some of the nicest I have ever seen. The manager, Michael , could not have been more helpful. The laundry didn't require coins and had a nice waiting area with a sofa. There was an out door pavilion with cornhole. We could have connected with a fishing guide through Michael, but realized that too late. Our guide issued by a fly shop was just Ok. I suspect Michael could have done better for us! There is plenty of dog walking areas, and it is close to all outdoor features of the area. It is right next to a high, road bridge, but the noise was not a problem. Peaceful, clean, right on the White river.

If you love the sound of traffic and semis at night..... camp here. The bridge is right over your head. HONK HONK VROOM VROOM. If you don't care about that. It's clean and good enough.

The Blue Heron Campground is such a great place to go camping! Everyone was very nice and the view of the White River is so beautiful! We went fishing and caught a handful of fish. Michael answered the phone every time we called. He was very nice and was very helpful.The campground is well maintained, the laundry room and bathrooms are spotless. I would definitely recommend! We will definitely be coming back to the Blue Heron Campground!
