Whether guests stay at an RV site, in a cozy cabin, or in one of the luxurious glamping tents, Rustic Ridge has plenty of amenities on the property for a comfortable and memorable stay. For those looking for more adventure, City Lake is less than a mile from Rustic Ridge and offers hiking and biking trails, a pump track, and water activities. The quaint, historic town of Siloam Springs just a few minutes away offers plenty of shopping, unique eateries, and beautiful parks.
Amenities Beyond a Typical RV Park in Arkansas
Rustic Ridge boasts an array of RV park entertainment, including outdoor games like horseshoes and cornhole, a bark park for furry companions to roam off-leash, a children’s playground, and even an arcade inside the clubhouse. Guests can relax around the fire pits scattered throughout the retreat and roast s’mores with family or friends. Plenty of other amenities make guest’s stay convenient and comfortable, including a well-stocked camp store with all the essentials, complimentary Wi-Fi, on-site laundry facilities, and a designated grilling area. The community bathrooms and showers are beautifully designed for an elevated campground experience.
RV Park Accommodations Above and Beyond
Rustic Ridge has 27 peacefully shaded RV sites, 6 tastefully designed cabins, and 3 adorably comfortable glamping tents. Created by a top-tier, professional design team from South Arkansas, the cabins and glamping tents are both luxurious and comfortable at the same time.
RV sites at Rustic Ridge
All of the RV sites at Rustic Ridge have fresh gravel, full hookups, and private picnic tables. Pets are allowed at all of the RV sites, and with a “bark park” on the property, guests can play with their furry friends off-leash. A few of the RV sites include private fire pits, and all have plenty of space for RV-ers to enjoy relaxing outside without feeling too crowded.
Cabins of Varying Sizes
In addition to the spacious RV sites, Rustic Ridge includes a duplex cabin with private cabin spaces that can each host 4-6 people comfortably. Two tiny cabins are perfect for a couple’s romantic getaway, and the largest “Wilderness Cabin” can hold 6-8 people, perfect for a large family or group of friends. All of the cabins have private bathrooms, fully-stocked kitchens, and private front porches. The duplex and Wilderness cabins have private bedrooms and a loft, and the Wilderness cabin has a balcony overlooking a back porch and the forest beyond.
Glamping in Arkansas
If glamping is more a guest’s style, the 2 glamping tents or the glamping tipi go above and beyond for a glamping experience. All come with cozy beds and bedding, a snug sitting area, electricity, and even heating/air. The community bathrooms with hot showers are just steps away, and a community grilling area and fire pits complete the camping experience. A water and coffee station make it easy to wake up in the morning and stay hydrated throughout the day.
Coming Soon: Rental Options for Outdoor Activities
Because of the proximity to City Lake with its hiking, biking, and lake activities, Rustic Ridge plans to soon offer guests several rental options. Kayaks, paddle boards, and fishing gear will be available for fun on the lake, and mountain bikes will allow guests to explore the world-class biking trails and the incredible pump track just down the road. The RV park also plans to rent out frisbee golf sets for guests who want to play a game while hiking the beautiful trails.
For anyone seeking to get away while still remaining close to lots of activities, Rustic Ridge is the perfect RV park in Northwest Arkansas to do just that. Travelers who have never experienced the beautiful nature and authenticity of the historic towns in Northwest Arkansas won’t be disappointed.
