Ready to Retreat? Come discover Brookside RV Retreat, located and surrounded by the beautiful Ouachita Mountains 20 miles east of Mena and 30 miles south of Mt. Ida, Arkansas. Our RV facilities were designed by people who understand you don't want to be crowded. This is
why we have a very limited number of sites, which are spaciously arranged, allowing you as much privacy and solitude as you want.
Guests have private access to the Big Fork Creek, a great place to walk or picnic while listening to the sounds of the water. In the warmer months, cool off and take a dip in the crystal clear mountain stream. The creek runs along the backside of a 40 acre plot, all of which you are welcome to explore for swimming holes and waterfalls! In addition, we considered a dark-friendly campground, which means at night, the skies come alive with stars, constellations, and a view of the Milky Way.

Cabin in the Woods near the Charming town of Glenwood!
Welcome to our tiny cabin-style home privately situated on one acre off a gravel county road, surrounded by woods on three sides, giving you a sense of seclusion while still providing you easy access to nearby amenities.
There are no other homes on this one acre property; this will be your private retreat during your stay.
500 sq ft of rustic charm with a covered deck in both the front and back. This tiny home has two comfortable queen size beds plus a queen air mattress, two nap mats, and three sleeping bags available.
There is a ½ bath off the hallway, with a separate shower with privacy glass in the back bedroom.
Note the back bedroom does not have a privacy door, but rather a privacy curtain.
In keeping with the spirit of allowing you to fully unplug, the home does not provide Wi-Fi. Instead, guests are invited to browse a curated DVD library—a nostalgic, intentional entertainment feature that encourages shared experiences and relaxation for families and couples alike.
Actual conversation around the firepit, a DVD player for rainy days, and discovering rocks and crystals in the yard after it rains. Cell service still works, so you're reachable if it matters — you just won't be tempted to scroll instead of being here. (data sometimes works but it’s not 100% reliable)
The kitchen is designed for full meal preparation, featuring an array of appliances and utensils; you have all the basics needed for making homecooked meals in your private retreat.
Note that the kitchen has a dorm sized fridge and an additional dorm sized deep freezer.

We stayed in this cute little cabin in the woods near Glenwood and used it as a perfect base camp for exploring the area. The cabin is small, yet the floor plan is thoughtfully laid out so the space feels maximized. In addition to the two queen beds, we used the two sleeping mats for extra sleeping space and found them quite comfortable. Having a small fridge and freezer plus a washer was a big help, and since it was summer I hung our laundry on the provided clothesline to dry (a dryer is available too).
The location is quiet—there are neighbors on the road, but the summer foliage completely hid them from view and we never heard a sound.
One of my sons especially loved hunting for quartz and gemstones in the yard and put together a sparkling little collection.
We explored the Saturday Farmers Market, the Mercantile downtown with its local goods, and spent time swimming and fishing on the nearby Caddo River.
We’d recommend this place if you want a rustic camping vibe but still appreciate a locking door, real beds, a shower, and a spot to store and cook your food.
Great little getaway!

If you're looking for a quiet rustic little cabin to stay at this is your place. Minutes from Lucky's to go float the river. Especially love the fact that we could go down for the weekend stay one night and not have to get a hotel room. I love the rock work as you walk up into the cabin

My Fiancé and I adored the shack! The scenery was absolutely beautiful. You could hear and see the river from the bedroom and porch! The outdoor bathtub was a lovely addition and the kitchen was stocked with everything we could need and more. The space was so cozy and the location was close to Hot Springs and Mt Ida which was exactly what we were looking for. We would absolutely stay again.

Absolute must. This cabin ,with direct creek access, is a true hidden gem. My husband, 7 year old and 2 year old had a great stay with all amenities we needed. Amanda was accommodating and was easy to work with.
The cabin was clean, fresh, and cute. The property was just enough for our two-night stay. We enjoyed exploring the creek, climbing the waterfall, swimming in the water-hole, having dinner of hotdogs and snores all by the campfire, chasing fireflies, and having breakfast creek-side, and spotting a fawn swimming in the creek.
It was truly the trip I didn’t know I needed. We plan on making this a yearly stop to the “cabin” along our way to family in Fayetteville every summer!

1 night at Diamond Glamping
I traveled to south Arkansas to view the solar eclipse. I wanted to stay more remote in order to view the night sky (live in a city & miss seeing the stars!). Devon’s place was perfect for us! It is only a few miles from a small town where you can get anything you might need - gas, snacks, a meal, firewood…. When you get to the glamping site it feels remote & private! The roads are good. Devon was friendly, welcoming & ready to make our stay great! We stayed in a cabin. The cabin is small but had a queen size bed and a bunk bed, both were very comfortable with comfortable bedding provided. Bathroom with a shower, towels provided. I believe the shower is well water, had a bit of a sulfur smell as well water sometimes has. There was no fridge, no coffee maker, nothing of kitchen. Devon did bring us delicious and hot coffee in the morning. They are doing a lot of work here at the retreat center- remodeling cabins, adding some platforms with big canvas tents and will be putting coffee makers and mini fridges in ??? There were a few small cabins and a larger cabin, a funky cabin on stilts down by the water, several platforms with canvas tents and one with a tent/yurt, several tent sites down by the water. A newly added bathhouse with 2 bathrooms including a shower. There is a large creek in the back & appears people fish here. there is an area by the creek with chairs and a firepit. We were very comfortable here! Devon is a superb host! Highly recommend!
