Blue Heron Campground and Resort

Great experience. We had reserved a spot across the river. The people in our spot hadn't vacated it and the campground couldn't find them or get in touch with them. They got and paid for us to have a spot at Blue Heron for a night. Hot to Blue Heron and Mike was awesome! Got us a big sight backed up to the river. He helped us get backed in. He came back later and told us we could keep the spot the whole time we needed. Better site than we would have had at the other place. The only reason for 4 instead of 5 stars is that you do get some bridge noise.

Nice place to camp, right along the white river. Mike, the grounds keeper stays on site and will give some wild fishing tips.nYou can snatch a good size fish shore fishing.nnElectrical, bathhouse, trash, available and very, very clean.

Solid place to stay with plenty of campsites and easy access from the highway. We stayed for just one night but the manager was kind enough to allow us a late checkout the following day. The pull throughs had just water and electric which is good enough for us! Only two things worth noting, 1. If you’re a light sleeper being close to the highway bridge may not be the choice for you. It’s not that bad for us since we’re used to city noise m, but I could see how it could be a “thing”. And finally, it appears to be a first come first serve park, the owner had us call him twice and the manager once on our way to ensure we had a spot. It seemed like a bit of an old school process that could be solved with online booking. Just my $.02. All in all, good park if you’re stopping on through.

We came with plans to stay for 6 days and ended up staying for 14! That should tell you how very much we enjoyed it. Thank you to the owner, Terry, and Michael, our host, for accommodating us. Both so friendly and helpful. This is a wonderfully peaceful campground right on the White River. Trout fishing is great! Thank you Michael for setting up our guided boat fishing with our great guide, Willard. This is a small, quiet, well kept and scenic campground. Even if you don't fish, the scenery and beauty of the river and campground make it a pleasure just to be there. We plan to return next year. So looking forward to it!

We stayed for two weeks and loved the spot. We lucked out and got the first full hook up for the riverside, so our view wasn’t obstructed. I don’t know that we would have liked it as much in a different spot or if the park had been full, but as it turned out it was great. Mike was very helpful and kept the area nicely mowed. They have their own boat ramp and we took advantage by taking out kayak out a few times. There is a tree just up river from camp that has a ton of heron nests in it and a lot of buzzards hang out in it too. There was also a few eagle nests nearby and a walking trail a short drive away on the other side of the river where you can walk to Cotter boating Dock area.. the only thing to mention is that this campground is right under the bridge that goes over the river and the road is well traveled and it does get noisy. You adjust to it, so it’s not noticeable, but it is there. We would definitely stay here again. Short drives to nearby towns for groceries, liquor and laundry we’re definitely pluses
