Weekend Trip to Sacred Pines
We loved the vibe and our cabin. It might look a bit expensive, but you would get more than what you need.

We loved our stay at Sacred Pines! We stayed in one of the tiny home cabins. Beautifully constructed, had everything we needed and more. The grounds surrounding us were a beautiful spot to walk our puppies around. Super peaceful and close to so many awesome hiking trails. Not great cell service out there (it’s the country, duh. We loved it, really made us more present and hangout with each other rather than be on screens) Perk: our tiny cabin had an awesome pizza oven that we used to make some home made pizza after a long hike! Thank you Miranda for creating such an awesome space, we will be back

2 nights at End of the Trail
This place is always great. I bring my dog and she loves running down to the river and through the field. You can see the stars super well on the right nights and sunsets are always awesome. There’s a gas station about 5 minutes down the road where you can restock and a Walmart in Mena is about 30 minutes away.
If you want an easy hike, Southern Loop Trail is a good pick around Mena — it’s part of the Earthquake Ridge Trail system just west of town, right off U.S. Highway 270 and only took about 45 mins to do.

Perfect campsite on the River. Shelter is amazing. Sites are secluded for perfect privacy. Beautiful property! We will be back.

3 nights at End of the Trail
Absolutely fantastic off grid camping in the heart of a vast trail system if you like to go atv riding and if not its a perfect place to hang out a while away from the world! We trail road some days and kayaked a park of the river right off the camp site the other days. We have stayed at both site 1 and 2 at different times and love them both.

End of the trail was an amazing getaway from all the modern world. The river was right there, the site was gorgeous and had amenities I was not expecting but glad to have access to. The area was peaceful and simply gorgeous.
My dogs loved the area as well and my child got to enjoy the site of cows in the field across the river.

My family (3 kids- 6yr, 2yr and 2 months old and my wife & I) had such an amazing experience in this skoolie build. Bryce was such a great host and was very attentive when we had questions or anything we needed. He had everything we might need for our camping experience in the bus which was a nice feeling to have just in case we forgot something and didn't have to hall everything with us. Just had to bring food, our clothes and our sense of adventure! A nice plus when you have kids!
Definitely will be making a trip back to the skoolie especially since my kids keep talking about living on the "Cool Bus" and want to go back! We will be letting everyone we know if they are heading to this area to definitely check this skoolie out! It won't disappoint!

The treehouses at End of the Trail were very cute and comfortable. Everything you need except bedding. No water though, and the porta potty was far away near Site #1. We stayed at Site #2 Freebird. The River bottom is too muddy for swimming, but the frogs, cicadas, owls, and lightning bugs made up for it. Could hear some highway noise but did not wake me up. Site #1 has a side creek that moves swifter and we rinsed off in it bc no one was there. Felt very safe. Great not to have to set up a tent.

Weekend Trip to Sacred Pines
We stayed at Sacred Pines for our anniversary and such a relaxing time. We loved playing frisbee golf and cornhole, and even had a couple surprise visits from their sweet dogs! The loft bed can be a little tricky to get up to, but I have to say, it was one of the most comfortable beds! The whole place had a peaceful vibe, and we definitely recommend it. We hope to stay here again someday for sure.

1 night at End of the Trail
Absolutely lovely site. Very bare bones so bring lights and a comfy bed if that’s something you care about, and the porta potty was a walk, but that wasn’t a big deal. Was a beautiful and private location, had a chance to use the kayaks and make a fire and relax on the river. 10/10 would come again, had a great time.

Weekend Trip to End of the Trail
Took our two kids on their first camping trip! The location gave up different opportunities to camp! The lean to excited the kids. Also put the tent up! Being so close to the water was great! Great fishing for small mouth bass.
The community area down to the stream was a great place to swim and wash up!

This camping location is special and unique. We enjoyed the remote feel of the riverside site. The owners clearly keep up the grounds. Good value. Positive primitive camping experience.

The property was gorgeous and private, even in the rain we stayed dry. The hosts are incredibly kind and accommodating! My friends and family have already asked for the link and I can't wait to go back!
