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.
