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.

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!
