Weekend Trip to Sunset Mountain

We reserved 2 nights in the Jesus Bus and absolutely LOVED our stay! Right when we pulled up, the friendly camp hosts greeted us to make sure we knew what we needed to have a great time. The sunset views over the mountain was gorgeous, and the other folks on the campground were an absolute delight. I especially loved the amenities like power and water inside the bus, and a nice clean flush toilet and shower just outside. The pool was still open and was very refreshing! I can't recommend this place enough. It's soothed my soul and got me ready for another week of work. Check them out! You won't regret it.

Weekend Trip to Sunset Mountain

First time experiencing a working nudist farm. I wasn’t sure what I was getting into but James and his wife were awesome hosts and I felt immediately at ease. The property is beautiful with scenic views and the Jesus Bus was clean and spacious. You can’t beat dipping in the pool after a hike or relaxing in the hot tub or smaller dipping pool. Highly recommend for a quiet and relaxing getaway while reconnecting with nature in the nude! It was so cathartic and liberating.

1 night at Sunset Mountain

James and Amy are great hosts! We stayed on a Sunday night and we were the only ones there, except for James and Amy. They hung out with us around the fire pit and made sure everything was perfect for us! Everything was very clean and accommodating! James was cleaning the pool when we arrived, and made sure the hot tub was clean for us. We had a great time and will definitely be back multiple times! It was our first visit and we plan on buying a season pass! HIGHLY recommend!

Weekend Trip to Sunset Mountain

Sunset Mtn is growing! Each time I visit, the experience improves exponentially . That’s because James and his wife work tirelessly to make this place incredible for its guests. Breath-taking views, a safe clothing-optional/nudist environment, top notch ways to relax and take it all in! Buying a membership is the most cost-effective way to go, but if you’re just passing through the day rate is extremely fair for what you get. Look forward to friendly faces, a hot tub, trails to explore and great spots to book for an overnight stay….Above all, you get to do it all NUDE! I’ll be returning very soon!
