Weekend Trip to Bigfoot County Campgrounds

Found some trees perfect for a hammock, hiked down the rock trail, made a campfire cake, had camp coffee and enjoyed the scenery. It was my kind of party. Camper was in good shape, smelled and looked clean. Having a flushable toilet, a queen size bed to sleep in, and the option to use the stove were all very convenient (especially with a 4 year old). Great place for the price, I enjoyed the atmosphere and it was peaceful and fun. Host was responsive.

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.

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!

The best farm glamping near Noel guide

Where to go

Grand Lake State Park

Oklahoma’s Grand Lake O' The Cherokees has an astounding 46,000 acres of water, making it one of the largest in Oklahoma. Grand Lake State Park is located on its shores and encompasses several smaller lakes. Fishing, boating, paddling, and watersports abound. Honey Creek Campground is the closest to Noel. Tent and RV sites offer various amenities, with water/electric hookups and concrete pads available.

Northwest Arkansas

South of Noel, you’ll find one of Arkansas’s most hopping regions, where the cities of Bentonville, Fayetteville, and Rogers come together, along with several small towns, to create a mini-metro area, full of foodie-approved restaurants, cultural attractions, and a chic downtown. Several private RV parks and glamping rentals are found across the region, providing easy access to all of the shopping and dining options, as well as the natural beauty of the Boston Mountains. Public campgrounds are found along the shores of Beaver Lake and in Devil’s Den State Park, which offers cabins in addition to the tent and RV sites.

Roaring River State Park

Approximately an hour east of Noel, Roaring River State Park is a scenic spot best known for the trout fishing found in the spring-fed waters. Biking and hiking trails meander through the Ozark woodlands, some offering views of unique rock formations and sparkling waterways. Tent and RV campsites are offered, some with electric hookups. Rustic cabin rentals are also available.

When to go

Thanks to the waterways, summertime is a popular time to visit Noel. The refreshing waters provide relief from the heat and humidity of summers in southern Missouri. If you don’t plan to make a splash, spring and fall are also good times to visit, as wildflowers and green leaves make their spring appearance and fall delights with the annual autumnal colors. Winter is generally cold, with occasional bouts of snow and ice, making it a less pleasant time for camping.
