Ferncliff Camp and Conference Center

Ferncliff Camp and Conference Center is a distinctive retreat and conference venue set across approximately 1,200 acres just west of Little Rock, Arkansas. Surrounded by woodland, trails, water and open outdoor spaces, it offers organisers a peaceful setting for meetings, residential retreats, conferences, youth programmes, faith-based gatherings, family reunions and corporate getaways.

The venue combines practical event facilities with the atmosphere of a working nature camp. Organisers can choose from a range of meeting rooms and multipurpose spaces for smaller workshops, training sessions, group discussions and larger gatherings. Selected rooms include Wi-Fi, kitchen facilities, breakout areas, fireplaces, decks and views across the natural surroundings. The conference facilities can accommodate groups of up to around 150 guests, depending on the chosen layout and space.

Ferncliff also provides several accommodation options, including hotel-style rooms, cabins, a retreat house and eco-focused lodging. This makes it suitable for multi-day programmes where delegates need to stay on site. Meal planning and group hospitality can be arranged as part of the event experience, helping organisers create a straightforward residential package.

Beyond the meeting room, groups can add outdoor and community-focused activities such as hiking, swimming, boating, campfires, arts and crafts, nature experiences and service projects. The site’s sustainability work, farm, gardens and outreach programmes give retreats an opportunity to combine learning, team connection and practical engagement.

With experience welcoming youth and adult groups, Ferncliff is particularly well suited to organisations seeking a relaxed, values-led venue with accommodation, hospitality and flexible programming in one location. Its convenient position near Little Rock provides a rural sense of escape while remaining accessible from the city and airport.
