14th Annual Southern Cruiser Crawl (1 Viewer)

[Bodean]

Talked with Knox (HSORV park manager) yesterday and there are only a few overflow tent spots available for the Crawl in October. RV spots are full as well as overflow RV spots. As always, we appreciate the support of this event. Never ceases to amaze me that you guys want to come to this party!

Please: if you know you are not coming to the Crawl and have an RV spot or tent spot that you will not be using, please call the park and let them know. There is a waiting list already. That list will be filled first come first served. The BOD is staying out of it so don't call us to get you on the list please. The park management will be working from the existing waiting list. All that being said, please don't hesitate to call the park and get on this list. We always have last minute cancellations. We'll make room for ya so come on!

Registration | CottonLand Cruisers

CottonLand Cruisers will host The 14th Annual Southern Cruiser Crawl on October 11th – 14th, 2018, at one of the best ORV parks in the country: Hot Springs ORV Park in Hot Springs, Arkansas. Over 170 Toyota 4×4’s and other makes attended this event in 2017. Go ahead and register now! Don’t miss out on Cottonland’s awesome drivers bags. We only prepare 175 of these bags loaded with goodies.

CottonLand Cruisers strives to provide an atmosphere with something for everyone. Hot Springs provides clearly marked and well-maintained trails that range in difficulty from moderate to extremely difficult. Facilities include primitive camping sites, RV hook up sites, a large pavilion, shower house, and a general store. Check out the Hot Springs ORV website for more information: Hot Springs ORV Park in Hot Springs, Arkansas.

Hot Springs offers many hotel choices: a great K.O.A. site Hot Springs National Park KOA, and Panther Valley Ranch, which is right down the road from Superlift.

CottonLand team members will be performing a safety inspection on all vehicles registering for the Crawl this year. The safety inspection will follow the TLCA guidelines, so make sure you have a parking brake, fire extinguisher, and have that battery strapped down tight!

This year on Friday and Saturday mornings at 9:30am Cottonland team members will be guiding newbie runs on 1 and 2 rated trails throughout the park. So if you have never been to the Hot Springs ORV or your wife told you not to tear up her 200 series, come on up to the pavilion and get in line at 9:15.

Thursday night Cottonland, with the help from the Arkansas Crawlers will be providing hamburgers, hotdogs, and drinks around 7:00pm. Then after you get your belly full, our good friend Jocko Deal will hit the CottonLand Stage around 8pm. Jocko brought the house down last year on Thursday night with covers from all the bands you love. It will be a night you don’t want to miss.

Friday morning, we will hold a drivers meeting around 9:00 before you hit the trails to go wheel for the day. But plan on being back by 7pm because Cottonland will be providing Bubba’s Catfish for those that register for the event. Then grab a cold drink out of a Cottonland Cooler and give it up for Mike & Grady from the 412 West Band doing an acoustic show. This is the band that rocked last year’s Crawl/ Get ready to hear all those songs you grew up listening to including those your momma didn’t want you to hear! If the band was a little too loud last year this ought to be just the thing that keeps you at the party!

On Saturday, October 13 CottonLand will offer a expedition run leaving around 9:00am for those that want to venture out of the park. Cottonland Cruisers will host a Barbeque dinner at 7:00pm to be followed by the annual CottonLand Raffle. Last year, CottonLand’s Raffle had a total value of over $20000! Keep a big bill or two back because CottonLand Cruisers will come through with a big prizes for our fundraiser. Past beneficiaries of our fundraising efforts have been: St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Mission on Wheels, WOMEN ROCK, INC., The Blue Ribbon Coalition, The Wounded Warrior Project, Blair E. Batson Children’s Hospital, Mustard Seed of Mississippi, The National Fragile X Foundation, National Multiple Sclerosis Society, Special Operations Warrior Foundation, and The Down Syndrome Association of Memphis and the Mid South, and Mississippi Chapter of the Alzheimers Association.

Well there goes the neighborhood! lol Just kidding Kowboy! Glad you're making the trip brother!

 

[KOWBOY]

Well there goes the neighborhood!

Hopin' the Turd don't smell up the place.

Anybody actu'ly stay at the hotel at the end of the road? Google says it's either a Knight's Inn or a Red Roof Inn. Not lookin' for luxury, just a clean place to sleep and shower.

 

[BMThiker]

The Red Roof is right across the street from this gem.

 

[HoneyBear]

That’s the red carpet Inn I believe. @offr0adlim0 has a story about that place. I stayed at the Red Roof Inn on the right as you come to the edge Hot Springs on the highway from the Park. It’s not great. I checked in after Mid night, took a hot shower, and left around 8:00. I saw several other vehicles from the park in the parking lot as well. Was ~$80ish I think, maybe closer to $100 with the taxes/fees and I would say overpriced at that. I forgot to mention the park or anything to try and get a better rate. Rain was coming and I packed up camp to avoid packing wet gear in the rain.

 

[BMThiker]

Red Roof is on the edge of urbanized HS. Centerfold is right next to a Gemstone shop a block away. The Knights Inn is at the end of Mill Creek Rd, closer to the park.

 

[HoneyBear]

I mistakenly thought it (centerfolds) was further down across from Knights Inn (which used to be Red Carpet). Guess I should have double checked with charcoal.

I'd avoid Knights Inn completely and go Red Roof based on stories I've heard about it under its previous name.

 

[Bodean]

Red roof is your best bet Kowboy

 

[wngrog]

Red and I went 20 years ago to the Red Roof with some Dallas jeep guys that picked up a stripper from the Centerfold and brought her to the room next door.

Classic.
