At Copper John's Resort in Lakeview, Arkansas, we pride ourselves in offering our guests a unique, tranquil setting right on the banks of the Historic White River. Tucked away in the awe-inspiring Ozark Mountains we are located only 1/4 mile past Bull Shoals-White River State Park on River Road. The resort offers your choice of over-sized RV sites with full hookups and riverfront access, camper cabins, fully furnished cottages, and first-class group/family lodging. All Copper John's accommodations present guests with stunning views and the use of private or community firepits. Many of our cabins, cottages and lodges come with covered decks, porches, or screened sunrooms with BBQ grills and outdoor dining options.

Explorers, nature lovers, adventure seekers and anyone desiring some peace and quiet won't be disappointed as Copper John's Resort is perfectly situated in the heart of paradise where the stars shine bright, the breeze blows cool, and there's plenty to explore! The Lakeview area boasts of caves, nature trails, two astonishingly clean lakes (Norfork and Bull Shoals) perfect for recreation and swimming, a small airplane landing strip a mile down the road, and delicious local dining options nearby. Cyclists can take in the sights as they peddle leisurely along  paved roads or take a trek down the more rugged Oakridge Mountain Bike Trailhead only 3 minutes drive from the Resort. Go for a stroll in the quiet evening hours and you're almost guaranteed to see a family of deer, a flock of geese, and other wildlife peacefully foraging on the grounds or resting along the river.

Our oversized, pull-through or back-in RV sites are equipped with picnic tables and firepits and many are shaded.

Trout Fishing on the White River

Lakeview has a population of roughly 800 people and the primary source of the local economy is the tourism industry. Known as a "Trout Smorgasbord", the White River is one of the best places in the country for Rainbow Trout, Brown Trout, Cutthroat Trout and Brook Trout. The water is cool and inviting. When the dam opens up its spillways, anglers in motorized boats like to rush up to the dam and drop in a line as they drift downstream. Paddleboarders and kayakers enjoy spotting trout as they embark on a relaxing float down the White River to any one of the boat slips.
