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. Learn more about this land: We are a new 2021 RV park located in Big Fork, AR, 20 miles east of Mena and 30 miles south of Mt. Ida. We have 5 pull-through sites with full hook-ups. Sites are very spacious at 75' x 20' plus picnic, firepit, and seating areas. Guests have private access to the Big Fork Creek with swimming holes and waterfalls. We are also located near the Wolf Pen Gap ATV trails, and guests can ride directly to the trails from their RV site. Local rental companies are available for anyone not wanting to bring their own ATVs. There is plenty of overflow parking for trailers for those that do bring their own on the property as well.

Site 1 - Brookside RV Retreat

Just beautiful. Lovely creek with swimming hole. Good wading for kids. Sites are pull through. Spacious. We had site 1. Fire ant nest around the water spigot. My foot was black with them before I noticed. Did get some bites, but could have been worse. I’m a city slicker, so they may just have been angry ants. After I learned where to step, no more problems. Such a nice place.

Peaceful Creekside Furnished Cabin

Hidden Gem!

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!

Site 5 - Brookside RV Retreat

🏕️ Only a few sites, but they're spacious for big rigs & offer full hook-ups 💡. Plus, the Big Fork River flows serenely behind the property 💎. Set at the back of the wide open space, enjoy privacy & quiet 🔇. We had the place to ourselves for a peaceful night 🌃 #CampingGem #BigRigFriendly #RiverfrontSerenity"

Brookside RV Retreat

Definitely worth staying here

Go to the back creek and walk towards right(Make sure you have some crocs or some kind if water shoes) Would be nice if they made a stairway or easier access to get there for people who cant make that walk so easy. There is a beautiful area to swim and relax with small water fall type scene. Internet can only be reached from site 1-2 from my experience. It was good because it meant more family time. I was able to use Internet for emergency situations i had to deal with from my Home alarm going off(false alarm). We had a great time staying here. They have a fire pit for smores so no need to bring one. Make sure you visit Little Missouri Falls. Its also a place worth visiting. You can take your vehicles in but probably better with side by side cuz its a tight squeeze . Its a scary drive up and down but definitely worth it. I definitely look foward to coming back and hopefully the treed they planted are taller. Im sure they will nske more improvements to this site but definitely had a good time. They were easy to answer questions. We were allowed to use our tent for a better camp feel so us guys stayed outside in tent. Im will be recommending this place to everyone i know for sure. Next time i might stay a full week cuz time flew.
