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.

My fiance and I found this private paradise on a river 🤗 it was perfect!!! 💓
Tent site plenty of room for alot of tents 2 rv/camper hookups. New bathroom installed (shower not completed yet). Perfect for solo, couples, families and friends gathering. All private one booking. Had small fridge and cook burner, and firewood provided and kayaks and a small boat to rent cheap.
Loved the deck with kitchenette and picnic table and the arched fireplace area with swinging benches and chair.
So relaxing!! I stayed up very late and was up very early swinging next to firepit, looking at the stars listening to crickets and water flowing, firepit and the morning birds chirping, water flowing and faint rooster call in distance.
Very nice host came by to check in about an hour after we arrived. Will def be back.
Didn't catch any fish. So relaxing under the stars listening to the river flow. Neighbors up the road with chickens u can see from a distance free range. Def recommend!

Weekend Trip to End of the Trail
We were really hoping this place was as described and it 100% was. Structure fit a queen air bed and belongings with no problem. Much more open grassy parking area than we expected, plenty of room to spread out. Only got rained on for about an hour the first day but it definitely seemed like you could wait out a rainstorm in the shelter and keep dry, we kinda wished it stormed more just to experience it. For people who like private and primitive camping without really having to worry about the weather this place is perfect. River wasn’t very deep when we were there (late march) and the smooth slick river rock makes for tricky wading; but we caught several nice bass and a load of brim out of the kayak and from the bank right by the shelter. 10/10 recommend, already booked a return trip.

As always, the campgrounds were absolutely perfect! This was our third trip to Sacred Pines—and our longest tent camping stay yet at five days—and we truly never ran out of things to do.
It was a bit hotter than expected, but the large shaded pavilion was such a blessing in the late afternoons and gave us the perfect place to relax and cool off. Our entire group had an amazing time enjoying all the amenities, from kayaking and the zip line to exploring the brook nearby. We also loved having games like ladder ball and cornhole ready for us—everything was thoughtfully provided by the owners and made our stay even more fun and effortless.
We’re already looking forward to our next visit!

We had an amazing stay here! The entire place was so peaceful and relaxing—exactly what we needed. The creek right behind our site was such a highlight; it was calm, beautiful, and our kids and dogs absolutely loved playing and exploring there.
We made a full day of it—explored the Ouachita forest in an SxS we rented from DLR Off-Road Rentals, then grabbed lunch at Big Fork Mall and treated ourselves to ice cream nachos after. It made for the perfect adventure-filled day.
Everything about this spot made it easy to unwind and enjoy time together as a family. We will definitely be back and will be recommending this place to all of our friends and family!

Had a good stay here. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. The site itself was nice, with a good level surface for the tent, a picnic table, and a firepit. My only issue during my stay was the nearby barking dogs that kept going long into the night. Nothing the hosts can do about that, but worth noting if you are a light sleeper. Regardless, I enjoyed my stay and would recommend this site if you are in the area.

Overview
About
Dierks Lake is as fine as wine— an Arkansas oasis surrounded by plenty of adventure and exploration opportunities. The lake itself offers killer fishing and boating, and those looking to rev up their jet skis or paddle gently in a canoe will find lots of acreage to explore. Reservable picnic areas and three swimming beaches make the lake the perfect getaway for your entire crew; a lakeside birthday camping weekend should be put on your schedule pronto! The area offers native history and plenty of fun like the annual Hope Watermelon Festival and Hot Springs National Park (hello, thermal baths). But the real shiny prize is at the nearby Diamond Mines; towel off from your Dierks dip and head over to mine for your own shiny gem! Multi-faceted and bright as rocks you’ll find in the ground, Dierks Lake is a gem waiting to be uncovered.
When to go
The best time to visit Dierks Lake is during the spring and fall when the weather is mild and the natural scenery is at its peak. Summer months can be warm, offering perfect conditions for water activities, while winter might be less ideal due to cooler temperatures.
Know before you go
- Ensure water safety by wearing life jackets and following posted guidelines.
- Check for any park closures or special advisories before your visit.
- Accessibility varies across different areas, so plan according to your needs.
- Local amenities such as food and supplies are available in the town of Dierks.
