Area Attractions

Persimmon Point Resort in Oakland, Arkansas, is located just south of the Missouri State Line in Marion County, Arkansas. We are about 20 minutes from the city of Mountain Home, Arkansas, where you'll find entertainment, shopping, churches, movies, and dining. We are also within close driving distance of the Bull Shoals Dam and Power Plant, the White River recreational areas, and Mountain Village 1890.

We are also within a nice drive of the Southwest Missouri attractions of Silver Dollar City, Branson, Springfield's Bass Pro Shop World Headquarters, and the Mansfield, MO location of the Laura Ingalls Wilder home where the "Little House" books were written!

Boat Dock

At Persimmon Point, we are very proud of our newer, solar powered, boat dock. We have built it in our large and private cove right on Bull Shoals lake, just a short walk or drive from our resort grounds area. Our cove is the perfect place for swimming, boating, water skiing, or fishing.

We added another new 6 stall dock in 2003. The Persimmon Point Boat Dock was newly built in 1995. The dock is covered and completely powered with solar generated 110 volt electricity. This solar power system generates enough electricity to charge all boats, run the lights and the fish cleaning station, all at the same time! In each of the 12 roomy, 10' wide by 20' long stalls, you'll find an outlet for battery charging.

For swimming or fishing, there is a deck with a climb-out ladder. The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission has installed a 200 foot long, underwater fish attractor within casting distance of our dock. This underwater brush pile brings bass, walleye, bream, and crappie within reach, so the fishing is fantastic!

Boat Rentals

Anytime you rent a cabin at Persimmon Point Resort, your boat stall use at Persimmon Point's Boat Dock is FREE for the duration of your stay. If you don't have a boat, you are welcome to use our aluminum fishing boat for short trips around our cove, free of charge with your cabin rental. If you have lots of energy, you might enjoy our paddle boat instead!

Pontoons and bass boats designed for those special outings on the lake are available for rent at the marina. They are perfect for sight seeing, water skiing, and fishing.

Swimming Pool and Grounds

We are especially proud of our resort grounds. We have added a large, lighted, fenced-in swimming pool with lots of poolside chairs. What a great place to relax after a full day of boating! Pool hours are 8:00 a.m. until 11:00 p.m., all summer long. We also have a new game room and pavilion with lots of picnic tables. The yard has a new shuffleboard court, playground area, and basketball court. There is also room for a volleyball game set-up, especially fun for the family reunion groups! Our convenient store is stocked with snacks, ice, tackle, bait, and many other notions that you may need in a pinch. We're here to help make your vacation as fun and easy as possible.

Family Reunions

Persimmon Point Resort is the perfect spot to celebrate family reunions! What better way to kick back and enjoy catching up with your extended families than to vacation at the lake and relax on our grounds. The swimming pool, shuffleboard, playground area, volleyball, basketball, and large yard all lend themselves perfectly to making the best memories for the whole group, young and old alike! We'd love to help you plan the ideal reunion - just give us a call!
