Catherine's Landing Open for Business in March!

It's almost finished! Coming this March, Catherine’s Landing, an RVC Outdoor Destination will be open for business. The resort is located in Hot Springs, Arkansas, on one mile of water frontage on Lake Catherine and is the only outdoor property of its kind in the state and region. After a year of planning and construction, the anticipated Catherine’s Landing will be “your ideal natural environment mixed with your favorite hotel experience,” setting it apart from anything of its kind. 

Catherine's Landing is an ideal place for race season visitors to stay because Oaklawn is only ten minutes away. The resort has a variety of accommodations for guests to choose from, something that differentiates it from resorts or hotels that follow a simple single-option style of lodging. One option is an RV site with full hook-ups, 50 amp service, and cable. Or, guests can be treated to a “home away from home” with one of the furnished RVC Resort Cottages, all of which include a loft, washer/dryer, dishwasher, and flat screen TV. If a guest chooses to go with a more unique and uncommon option, they can stay in a yurt – a modern, round, tent-like structure with wooden floors, windows, skylights, beds with fresh linens, and heating and air conditioning. Rates start at $40 for RV sites, $120 for Resort Cottages, and $36 for yurts per night. 

Catherine’s Landing encompasses an already beautiful environment and will offer uncommon amenities, most of which are found at a five star hotel. It is not to be confused with a campground, RV Park, or state park. Amenities at Catherine’s Landing include community lodge with coffee, beer and wine bar, convenience store, fitness center, concierge service, hiking and nature trails, game room, water access and boat rentals, and much more. 

Catherine’s Landing is located on the Humphreys Dairy property and is the first hospitality development that Hot Springs has seen for many years. The main reason for choosing to build a resort in this area is Lake Catherine, which is already a destination in itself. There will be a boat ramp and dock at Catherine’s Landing as well as available pontoon boats. In addition, the location to surrounding attractions such as Garvan Gardens, the Bath House Row in the historic district of Hot Springs, and the horse races at Oaklawn were other reasons for choosing this location.

In the springtime, the resort will host an “open for celebration” event. More details will come later.

RVC OUTDOOR DESTINATIONS EXPANDING IN A SHRINKING ECONOMY

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – RVC Outdoor Destinations is planning and preparing for better times despite the economic downturn. While a few other companies may talk about buying properties, or their plans to do so, RVC is actually building, developing and expanding multiple outdoor destinations with a focus on RV, cabins, cottages and yurts.

“We’ve seen that most RV and cabin oriented properties have been unable or unwilling to keep up with customer demands, current technology or even basic maintenance. We are confident that by creating a new hospitality experience, our properties will continue to be successful and our company will expand. In fact, in addition to completing two properties over the next few months, we are actively acquiring land sites and existing RV oriented properties while also working to expand current locations,” said Andy Cates, President of RVC Outdoor Destinations. “We are creating a new product type within the hospitality industry, defining our role as the best owner and operator of outdoor destinations in the United States,” Cates added.

By February RVC will have six of its properties open and operating. Five properties will have been newly built or totally redeveloped and the sixth, Carrabelle Boat Club, is a state-of-the art boating facility within one mile of RVC’s Carrabelle Beach Outdoor Destination. RVC currently has two destination locations open for business in Carrabelle Beach, FL and Pine Mountain, GA. Properties in Freeport, FL (Live Oak Landing) and Hot Springs, AR (Catherine’s Landing) will open in November and February respectively.

The common thread running through RVC’s outdoor destinations is the linking of beautiful, well planned environments with exceptional service and amenities. These unique properties, almost all of which are on water, provide an alternative to hotels, isolated cabins, and worn out campgrounds. By combining design that is sensitive to preserving the natural beauty of their environments with high quality accommodations, amenities and service, RVC is providing memorable vacation experiences and clearly defining the meaning of the phrase outdoor destination.
