Hello, my name is Hansen and I am honored to have the opportunity to share my mission with you. There are few greater experiences than being in a position to introduce the incredible beauty and story of Arkansas to you, my fellow travellers. If you had told me just a couple years ago that I would be fully committed to a hospitality company, I wouldn't have believed it. However, it is a perfect fit. To be able to have a positive impact in people's lives, while also preserving and celebrating such a wonderful corner of our world, is more than I could have ever hoped for.
As the company has grown, I have been able to add some incredible people to share the vision and deliver on my promises to you. Additionally, these partners have freed me to expand my commitment to our community through various awesome organizations. Together, I believe that we have the chance to leave a far reaching positive impact on our world.
Thank you, truly, for the opportunity to serve you and your family. You enable me to live in my favorite part of the world. Come let me show you why!

Hello, my name is Hansen and I am honored to have the opportunity to share my mission with you. There are few greater experiences than being in a position to introduce the incredible beauty and story of Arkansas to you, my fellow travellers. If you had told me just a couple years ago that I would be fully committed to a hospitality company, I wouldn't have believed it. However, it is a perfect fit. To be able to have a positive impact in people's lives, while also preserving and celebrating such a wonderful corner of our world, is more than I could have ever hoped for.
As the company has grown, I have been able to add some incredible people to share the vision and deliver on my promises to you. Additionally, these partners have freed me to expand my commitment to our community through various awesome organizations. Together, I believe that we have the chance to leave a far reaching positive impact on our world.
Thank you, truly, for the opportunity to serve you and your family. You enable me to live in my favorite part of the world. Come let me show you why!

This place was 10/10, absolutely awesome. Hot tub, cold plunge, sauna, communal hang out space, showers, coffee, snacks, bike wash! It had everything we needed and could possibly want. Jeremy was very attentive, friendly, and made us feel comfortable to make ourselves at home. I had to do some remote work, and having the lounge with a tv was so very welcoming while it rained for two days straight. We will be back!

Perfect place to watch the sunset and view a starry sky. Plenty of firewood for the fire pits due to the generous and kind stewards of this amazing space. It's relatively quiet, even with other guests dotted around nearby. The privacy of landscape and bamboo thatch is thoughtfully done and makes you feel safely secluded . They really understand community living and the conscientiousness shows even with their hot tub setup. I would say that it's trauma-conscious because the guest instructions show intention they built in lights and strategic plantings and fencing making sure that privacy was a main feature. A safe container to rest, restore, and commune with nature. Sacred land that's well tended and naturally enhanced with the meditation path.

I love car camping in the the overland area at James place. It was far enough from the main part of the campground that I felt like I had privacy when I wanted it and close enough to hike in to hang out and join some of the other guests that were there for the weekend. The sun deck was great for catching some sunshine, the main firepit was awesome for gathering around with new friends and the hot tub was perfect place to relax before hiking out to my site for the bed. I am already trying to figure out a time to get back back out there. I cannot wait to visit Sunset Mountain again.

We were able to roll up just a bit before sunset and it was perfect! This was our first clothing optional Hipcamp and talk about freeing! Not only was that a fun discovery, the property was outstanding. Clean and nice touches everywhere from A-frame wash/shower room, the hot tub, pool, fire pit, BBQ, wash tub for dishes, etc. James and Amy greeted us to make sure we had everything we needed. The pool was made ready for us the next morning for the tiny window of sun we got (thanks James!) you can really see the pride and care for the land and the experience they provide to campers.
We didn’t get to meet any other campers this time however this stop will remain at or near the top of our camping experience list for quite some time - highly recommend. We will be back!

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.
