White Buffalo Resort

Anglers and paddlers find dual river access at White Buffalo Resort, where the White River meets the Buffalo River at the confluence. This family-owned campground sits at the end of a winding road in Mountain Home, Arkansas, requiring a drive through remote terrain that multiple visitors describe as "worth it" for the river access.

The resort accommodates RVs up to 42 feet with full hookups alongside tent sites that reviewers note are "mixed with smaller travel trailers." Sites cluster close together, with riverfront spots booking quickly according to camper feedback. The property includes a seasonal pool, playground, ping pong table, and small store stocking essentials. Boat rentals are available on-site for exploring both waterways.

Bill M. emphasizes that "your camp is where the White River and Buffalo rivers merge," highlighting the trout and bass fishing opportunities at this junction. The resort provides fishing guides and equipment rentals. Bathrooms remain clean but lack air conditioning, as one reviewer specifically mentions. Staff consistently receive praise for helpfulness with river activities and local knowledge.

The remote location appeals to campers seeking river-focused recreation, though the drive requires time and patience. Visitors planning extended stays in the region can explore camping near Norfork for additional options. The convergence of two popular Arkansas rivers makes this spot particularly valuable for multi-day fishing or paddling trips.

Campers consistently appreciated the unique location at the confluence of two rivers, extensive amenities, and helpful family-owned operation. Sites are positioned close together but offer direct river access and scenic views.

Can’t beat this view!

Amazing little Campground that backs right up to the light river with a fantastic bluff behind that. Beautiful! Would definitely come again, friendly staff, quiet, easy. I will say I like site 11, but if you are not camping and pears, you will be camping directly next to site 10. They are pull through sites that are connected basically. We had another couple with us and it a great set up. But if it had just been us it would have been weird.

Can't beat it!

It's such a beautiful place, right on the White River and the Buffalo River, just yards away. The best of both rivers. The resort is well maintained and the staff is friendly. There's a pool in the summer and a ping pong table. The bathrooms do not have air conditioning, but are clean.

Awesome Location & Friendly Staff

The staff here goes above & beyond! The campsites are close together but the amenities are worth it. Very family friendly. Right on the White River with easy access to the Buffalo River by boat, canoe, or kayak. Pool, playground, small store with essentials, boat rentals, ping pong, & more. Tent sites are mixed with smaller travel trailers. We would definitely recommend reserving a River front site! We rented a boat and explored the Buffalo River - it was very relaxing & amazing views.
