Weeklong Events

Cross Country Trail Ride offers 5 full week events during the months of May, June, August and October. These events offer an all-inclusive vacation package lasting 6 days. The admission includes 3 meals per day, camping with electric and water hookup, and daily entertainment.

Meals are served buffet style — all you can eat beginning Sunday morning and ending Friday evening. Entertainment includes organized trail rides daily, horse shows, nightly dances with a live band, a concert by a Nashville entertainer and a tack sale.

Our campground is located on the banks of the Jacks Fork River so swimming, tubing, canoeing and fishing are added attractions. The Jacks Fork is one of the most pristine rivers in the nation. Its crystal clear waters are spring fed from the many natural springs located in this area. Eminence is surrounded by the Ozark National Scenic Riverways which provide many sight-seeing opportunities while visiting the area.

Reservations book up quickly for these events. We suggest that you make reservations for these dates at least 2 months in advance or earlier. Average attendance ranges from 300 up to 2,200 guests per event. Our largest events are in June, August and October. Dogs are not allowed, regardless of size or breed, during any week long events.

We offer a visitor pass for one day during each week long event. They are available Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday during the event from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Passes are not available the week prior to each event. The deposit is $50 per person which is refunded at the time of departure provided the visitor checks out on time. Overnight or weekend passes are not available. Our rules and regulations apply to paid guests as well as visitors. We do not offer daily or group rates.

We encourage you to call 573-226-3492 with any questions you may have. We would love to visit with you and help you plan a family vacation with us!

Weekend Events

We offer 3 weekend/holiday events — Memorial Day, 4th of July and Labor Day. These events offer an all-inclusive vacation package lasting 4 days.

Admission includes meals, camping with electric and water hookup and daily entertainment. Meals are buffet style, all you can eat. Entertainment includes organized trail rides, nightly dances with a live band, a concert by a Nashville entertainer and the area’s largest fireworks display in July. Of course, the Jacks Fork River also provides swimming, tubing, canoeing and fishing for added entertainment.

These 3 events are provided to those guests who are forced to take their vacations over a weekend due to work schedules. We make every effort to provide an affordable vacation that is also enjoyable to guests of all ages! These events allow dogs, however they must be kept on a leash at all times and are not allowed inside any buildings. This rule will be strictly enforced! The attendance ranges from 500 guests to 900 guests during these events.

Reservations are not accepted for any weekend events; since the attendance is much lower there is always plenty of space available. A VISITOR PASS IS NOT OFFERED DURING WEEKEND EVENTS! We do not offer daily camping rates or group rates.

We encourage you to call 573-226-3492 with any questions you may have.  We would love to visit with you and help plan a family vacation with us!
