RT 62 Motor Resort Bunkhouse
Guest rating: 5.0 / 5
Overview
The Bunkhouse at RT 62 Motor Resort is a private, secure cabin that sleeps up to 8 guests, situated on the grounds of a small campground in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. Located in the city center and near a lake, the property blends a rustic, camp-style stay with easy access to town. It has a distinct summer-camp character, with bunk beds that appeal especially to kids claiming the top bunk.
Rooms & Facilities
The cabin itself does not have an interior bathroom or running water; instead, guests use shared bathhouse facilities located just outside, along with an outdoor water source. A large fire pit with a grill sits near the cabin for group gatherings and cooking. Note that linens are not included in the room rate but can be rented for $5 per set for the length of stay, and pets are not permitted in the Bunkhouse.
Amenities
In-cabin comforts include air conditioning, a fireplace, and a hot tub, all set within a smoke-free environment. Guests also have access to free Wi-Fi, free parking, and a washer, making longer or group stays more convenient despite the cabin's rustic setup.
Location & Surroundings
The property sits about 2 miles from historic downtown Eureka Springs and 2 miles from Lake Leatherwood and its mountain bike trails, with a Trolley Stop just 29 meters away for easy local transit. A cluster of dining options -- including Le Stick Nouveau, Sugar and Crumbs Cafe, Rowdy Beaver Restaurant & Tavern, and SkyBar Gourmet Pizza -- are all within a couple miles, and Northwest Arkansas National Airport is roughly 51 kilometers away.
Things to Do
The area is known for water adventures like swimming and wildlife walks, along with local attractions such as Pivot Rock and Natural Bridge, Eureka Springs Brewery, Gazebo Books, and the Eureka Springs & North Arkansas Railway. These sites give guests a mix of outdoor recreation and small-town Ozark charm within a short drive of the cabin.
Best for
This Bunkhouse suits groups, families, and camp-style travelers looking for an affordable, communal stay near Eureka Springs' lake and downtown attractions. Its bunk-bed layout, fire pit, and shared bathhouse setup make it best for those comfortable with rustic, campground-style accommodations rather than travelers seeking hotel-standard private bathrooms. The nearby trolley stop and cluster of restaurants also make it convenient for visitors who want to explore downtown without a car.
Travel tips
Bring or rent linens in advance, since bedding is not included in the base rate and rents for $5 per set for the length of stay. Remember that the cabin has no interior bathroom, so plan for short walks to the bathhouse and outdoor water source. The Trolley Stop just steps away offers an easy way to reach historic downtown Eureka Springs and Lake Leatherwood, both about 2 miles from the property.
