Mockingbird Mountain Resort

1 RV Site, 2 Cabins

Near Greers Ferry Lake in Edgemont, Arkansas—in Cleburne County in the Ozark Mountains where the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Greers Ferry Lake impoundment of the Little Red River created the 31,000-acre reservoir and its clear, cold hypolimnetic release that established the Little Red River tailwater below Greers Ferry Dam as one of the premier trophy brown trout fisheries in North America—Mockingbird Mountain Resort provides 50 full hookup RV sites with six pull-through positions, three cabins sleeping up to four guests, and a Lodge sleeping eight to ten, with fully equipped kitchens, panoramic deck views of Greers Ferry Lake, free WiFi, self-serve laundry, and on-site staff support in the nature-focused mountain resort five minutes from the marinas, boat launches, swimming spots, and restaurants that Greers Ferry Lake's recreation infrastructure makes the defining amenity of the western shore. The cabins and Lodge with kitchen and lake-view decks, the five-minute marina proximity, and the Greers Ferry tailwater trout fishery within minutes define why Mockingbird Mountain is a destination resort rather than a highway overnight stop. Fifty full hookup RV sites with 30 and 50-amp electric, water, and sewer connections in a combination of pull-through and back-in configurations serve the RV camping market on the wooded Ozark Mountain property. Six pull-through sites specifically accommodate the longer RV configurations. Three cabins sleeping up to four guests each and a Lodge sleeping eight to ten provide the fully equipped enclosed accommodation for the non-RV visitor or the group that needs the cabin's communal kitchen, comfortable living space, and the covered deck with panoramic Greers Ferry Lake views that the Cleburne County hillside position provides. Fully equipped kitchens in both cabins and the Lodge give the extended-stay guest the self-catering option. Free WiFi, self-serve laundry, and the RV storage capability serve the practical amenity requirements. Long-term RV sites starting at $400 per month serve the seasonal and semi-permanent resident who chooses the Greers Ferry Lake address for the extended warm-season stay. Greers Ferry Lake's 775 miles of shoreline—one of the longest shoreline-to-surface-area ratios of any Ozark reservoir—provides the clear, cove-rich freshwater lake environment that watersports enthusiasts, bass anglers, and the scuba diving community that the lake's 100-foot visibility (among the clearest lakes in Arkansas) has developed as a dedicated user group. The lake's clarity results from the combination of the dolomite geology filtering the impounded water and the limited agricultural runoff from the Ozark Mountain watershed. The Little Red River tailwater immediately below Greers Ferry Dam is world-renowned among fly anglers for the trophy brown trout that the cold tailwater environment sustains year-round—the river holds the world record brown trout catch at 40 pounds, 4 ounces, and consistently produces fish in the 10-to-20-pound class that the local guide services target with streamers and midges in the specific water column that the cold bottom-release temperature creates year-round regardless of season. Mockingbird Mountain Resort is open year-round in the Ozark Mountain climate. The spring and fall represent the most temperate camping seasons, with summer bringing the lake recreation peak and winter providing the tailwater trout fishing that cold-water species specifically require. Reserve the Lodge for the family reunion, book the RV site early for lake-access summer weeks, and let Greers Ferry's world-record brown trout water and the Ozark hillside views earn the Arkansas mountain lake resort experience that the Little Red River below the dam makes uniquely significant.

Wildwood Resort

Toledo Bend Reservoir straddles the Louisiana-Texas border for 185,000 acres of water that consistently ranks among the top bass fisheries in the United States, producing largemouth bass of a size and frequency that keeps professional anglers and recreational fishers returning season after season. Wildwood Resort occupies 40 acres of waterfront on the Louisiana side, offering lodging from full-hookup RV sites to cabins and multi-room lodges positioned to take full advantage of the reservoir's remarkable fishery and the dramatic piney-woods setting of Sabine County. The resort accommodates guests in two main configurations: 16 full-hookup RV sites with 30- and 50-amp electric service on back-in, 40-foot-friendly pads with security lighting, and 31 cabins and lodges ranging from intimate two-person retreats to large group units sleeping up to 24. The lodge options run from simple cabin accommodations to resort-style suites with full kitchens, making Wildwood a practical destination for fishing groups of any size. Three swimming pools serve guests during the warmer months, and a gift and tackle shop on the property handles last-minute gear and bait without requiring a drive to town. The fishing infrastructure at Wildwood is among the property's strongest attributes. A 300-foot fishing pier, lighted for night fishing and partially covered, extends from the shoreline into Toledo Bend's productive near-shore waters — an excellent option for guests who want consistent access without launching a boat. A private boat launch gives those with their own craft direct reservoir access, while three separate stocked ponds on the property provide catch-and-release fishing that doesn't require a Louisiana fishing license. Paddle boards, kayaks, and paddle bikes are available to all resort guests at no additional charge, making casual water exploration accessible regardless of whether guests brought a boat. Toledo Bend Family Adventure Park, directly across the road from the resort, adds a land-based entertainment component to the trip that extends the property's appeal well beyond fishing. The park includes water attractions, zip lines, and family activities that serve as natural afternoon programming after a morning on the water. Zwolle, the nearest town, is best known for the Tamale Fiesta, an annual October celebration of the area's Spanish and Adaes Indian heritage that has grown into one of the most distinctive local festivals in Louisiana, with tamale preparation competitions, music, and cultural programming. Bald eagles work the reservoir's edge in winter months, and the surrounding Sabine River country offers additional wildlife viewing throughout the year. Toledo Bend's bass fishing season never truly closes, but peak periods run February through May for pre-spawn and spawn activity and October through November in the fall feeding period. Summer fishing is productive in the early morning hours before heat sets in, and the resort's pools provide afternoon relief during the hottest weeks of July and August. The Tamale Fiesta weekend in October fills area lodging well in advance — book early if that event is on the itinerary. Winter is the season for bald eagle watching and quieter reservoir conditions, with cabin rates at their most accessible and fewer boats competing for the best water.

Serendipity Resort & Campground

4 Cabins, 9 Yurts

Serendipity Resort & Campground in Brownsville, Tennessee, offers four A-frame cabins and nine yurts on a lake in Haywood County, with a water park, outdoor pool, beach, and disc golf course. Golf cart rentals, on-site dining, and a bar serve guests in the Hatchie River corridor of West Tennessee. Four A-frame cabins and nine yurts make up the accommodations — this is glamping and cabin lodging rather than an RV park. A general store, restrooms, firewood, and WiFi serve the property. Check-in is 3:00pm and check-out 11:00am. Note that four-wheelers and side-by-sides are not permitted, though golf carts are available to rent — contact the resort for rates. The water is the draw. A lake and pond support fishing, canoeing, kayaking, paddle boats, and boating, with a beach and water park for swimming and an outdoor pool alongside. A disc golf course, horseshoes, biking, a playground, and a pavilion fill the grounds, with on-site dining and a bar for evenings. Pets are welcome. Brownsville sits on US-70 between Memphis and Jackson, which gives the resort practical West Tennessee highway access. The Hatchie National Wildlife Refuge protects a nationally significant stretch of bottomland hardwood nearby — the Hatchie is the longest un-channelized river in the lower Mississippi valley, and the surrounding agricultural landscape has kept its character. The resort serves the West Tennessee season. Summer water recreation drives the heaviest demand, with spring and fall delivering more comfortable conditions for the outdoor programming. With 13 units total, reserve well ahead for any weekend.
