Below Bull Shoals Dam on the White River, Gaston's White River Resort operates as a full-service destination focused on world-class trout fishing rather than traditional camping. The property features cabins and cottages along the river, plus amenities like an on-site restaurant, store, and small aircraft landing strip. Access involves navigating rough roads to reach the riverside location.
The resort maintains a nature preserve with walking trails and a dozen peacocks roaming the grounds. Cold water releases from the dam keep river temperatures refreshing year-round, though high water levels can limit floating activities during heavy rain periods. Campers seeking traditional tent or RV sites will find options at Bull Shoals-White River State Park nearby.
Description
Gaston's White River Resort began 59 years ago when Al Gaston, Jim Gaston's father, purchased 20 acres of White River frontage with six small cottages and six boats...the year was 1958. Present day, Jim’s grandson - Clint Gaston - will carry on the family legacy for many years to come. The resort now covers over 400 acres, and has 79 cottages ranging in size from two double beds to ten private bedrooms. The airstrip has grown from 1,800 feet to 3,200 feet. The six boats are now over 70, and with a state of the art dock to hold them all. The years have brought an award winning restaurant, private club, gift shop, tennis court, playground, game room, duck pond, three nature trails, swimming pool, conference lodge, and fly fishing school.
