All Copper John's accommodations present guests with stunning views and the use of private or community firepits.

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.

For larger group considerations, reserve a two-bedroom cottage featuring a fully furnished kitchen, spacious living area, and a riverside deck under a canopy of trees, or enjoy all the luxurious comforts of one of Copper John's White River Lodges.

RV Site Hookups

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.

Modern Accommodations with the Feeling of Rustic Cabin Comfort

Located in Lakeview, Arkansas, Copper John's Resort boasts World Famous Fishing, spacious Cabin Rentals, oversized full hookup RV Sites, and breathtaking views of the White River. Come drop a lure and enjoy one of The Natural State's most iconic fishing resorts!
