Recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp is romantic.
Back in 2018, when the landwas FIRST acquired, there was only a water spigot and a 14x14 structure that was basically a glorified shed... Now we refer to it as the Gallery Cabin. Its slowly gaining local art work pieces for display and purchasing... Now, ears later, we have created many fun spaces and built many structures for our many hobbies and passions. We have built a small workshop, a rock cutting/shaping/soil mixing area, Shipping Container workshop and decked out a shed with a work station and a long marble counter top. We have built a 3-level tree fort with a crow's nest and a 10x12 screened Bungalow in the woods. This is a great spot to have less chance of bugs at night, still have electricity for Lights and phone charging. We have also created a large garden with 9 beds, using various aspects of Permaculture, including several Hugelculture beds. We created a comfortable and private outside shower in the upper corner of the garden, that is perfect after a long day of having our hands in the soil! (Named the "Flower Shower" as we grow various seasonal flowers, Sage and some beautiful Poppies that can be seen from the shower.) It's now equipped with Propane heat for optional warm showers year long. Because this is Arkansas, and we live at the top of a ridge, our topsoil is mainly clay and rocks... so one of the first endeavors we started was creating a 5 bin mass composting system to build up our soil for our gardens. We found grocery stores and coffee shops to donate hundreds of pounds of old produce and coffee grounds. Since our arrival we have made over 6000+ lbs of beautiful compost and continue to do so today! We are a pet friendly place. We also get rare bookings being a SnifSpot ( Dog Park) But all dogs must be leashed or proven ( caretaker onsite approval) of being off leash trained. The only Exception is Miguel-dog. He has been on the property with us for 3+ years. Very gentle and calm. He usually needs to greet you, then you can be free. He can be separated if need. (Aggressive dogs are NOT allowed. Thanks.) We have a resident, neutered male cat named, Hikari aka "Ari." He is dog friendly. However if your dog chases cats, please keep your dog leashed. We have planted 10 fruit and nut trees and started a 'Berry Orchard'. We also have a small vineyard consisting of about 15 trained Muscadine vines. Closer to the house is a wonderful Herb Spiral that showcases of up to 20 medicinal and cooking herbs and we have a dozen more herbs in the other garden and around our land as well. We also have been planting a food forest outside the garden area, growing PawPaw trees, Gooseberries, Jerusalem Artichokes and Opossum grapes for the critters... so they may leave our actual garden alone, but they can still come close to get a tasty snack. We also built a large chicken coop for 4 egg layer chickens, 4 ducks and 3 guineas that free range our yard during the day. Our numbers vary year to year. There is over a mile plus of trails through our woods, criss-crossing over our seasonal springs that we have built bridges over. Our trails go up and down the mossy topped valleys and ridges with many places to comfortably stop and rest along the way. One aspect about all this that we are extremely proud of, is that we have built 75% or more out of RECLAIMED MATERIALS and RECLAIMED LUMBER (and made it look good!) -- Learn more about this land: -- We are located only 12 miles from I-40, just north of Vilonia. Our Homestead Farm: Barefoot Gardens, is on 8 acres of hardwood forest, where we use various Permaculture techniques to grow over 140+ varieties of various herbs, fruits, vegetables, trees and flowers! The nights here are peaceful and filled with the soothing sounds of treefrogs. Fireflies dance in the night air as the stars peak thru the leaves overhead! (We commonly camp in our own yard for this exact same reason!) Besides multiple camping locations and a beautiful forest, we also host over a dozen Educational Workshops and Homestead Demonstrations! Small Retreats and events are also being brought forth. Most all workshops/demonstrations are kid friendly as well! (Workshops are listed below in this description. They are also listed in the 'Extras' section of our HC profile.) Here at Barefoot Gardens, you will find many fun and interesting places to explore and enjoy! Here is a list of some of our favorites! - A 10x12 secluded, screen enclosed, roofed platform (10x12) is available for camping in the forest. This location is 600 ft. from parking area. Electricity is provided (No A/C or heat, please!) A firepit with a metal cooking grill are also provided. A compost toilet is attached to the backside of the platform as well. Multiple hiking trails intersect near and around this area! - Tent camping is available in various locations throughout the yard and forest, with available access to electricity and water (No A/C or heat, please!) - Plenty of great places to hang up hammocks! (Including our 3 level Tree fort!) - RV's and pull behind camper's welcome! (up to 30 feet only please) Only very QUIET generators are allowed! If you need to run your A/C or heat for extended periods of time, while hooked into our electricity, please add $10 onto each day you stay with us!  And NO... you cannot empty your black water tank here.    [7 day maximum stay, please!] - Fire Pits available next to campsite locations, the bungalow or at the community area by our Rocketshop. - An outside heated shower located in the large garden  AKA 'The Flower Shower" (warm season only.)  - Over a mile of hiking trails, with bridges that cross over seasonal springs and moss covered ridges. Trails go up and down several valleys and ridges, so there are several rest spots along the way. (Trails have been marked with Blue trail markers, for easy navigation!) - A large Herb Spiral featuring 15+ medicinal/cooking herbs and over a dozen more in our main garden and yard as well! - Fresh picked greens, veggies, berries and Farm Fresh Chicken eggs from our chickens are available for purchase too! (Located in the 'GOODS' section of our HipCamp profile! (Fruit/Veggie/Egg availability change depending on time of year.) Besides all the beauty, trails and fun here at Barefoot Gardens... we also host multiple informative and educational workshops! More info about these can be found in the 'EXTRAS' section of our HipCamp profile! ** Although we don't have a swim hole on site... there is a Beautiful Secret Swim hole only a short drive away! Or you can rent the use of our small pools.

Awesome Hidden Gem
25 ft travel trailer · With kids ·
Forest Overlook (Site #1)
We live one town over but were looking for a unique getaway that was a great environment for our family and boy did we find it! The reviews about Steve and pupper Miguel were not lying. Steve’s passion for the land was infectious from the get-go. It’s a perfect example that you don’t have to go to a state park to have an awesome outdoor experience. It is a proper farm and gardens, with chickens, ducks, herbs, fruits, veggies, lots of pretty things and a huge area with trails, arches, circles, etc. It’s a laid back atmosphere. When a burn ban is not in effect, there is a communal fire pit. The communal kitchen is on the front of the cabin but most of the travelers are polite and used to working with others The cabin is awesome and we will definitely be back to stay and cook for everyone. The bungalow is an extremely secluded, covered platform with walls and a screen. It has an area to store your stuff if you bring your own lock. Don’t fade the add on experiences at the end of the booking, especially breakfast. We did all of the tours and workshops. Steve even delivered horseshoes and a 5 gallon jug of spring water to drink. Hes an incredible resource to anyone wanting to learn to be more self sufficient so utilize him as much as you can. We’re non-conventional hip-campers in our 40s with two teenage boys and a 1 1/2 yr old girl and a camper. This worked for us because our boys are used to traveling and know how to behave around your typical hip campers. Leave no trace!

Honestly such a great spot. If you are looking for peace and quiet, a homestead like setting, nice dogs and nice people, this is it! I needed a break and I felt so calm and at peace here. An amazing price for the attention shown by the camp hosts. You can do your own thing or you can participate in their projects and activities. Super chill and I just loved it. I’m proud of you all for doing this for others. Additionally, the area is surrounded by beautiful natural features that camp hosts are knowledgeable on. I have kiddos and I think this would make for a great family stay as well. Thank you so much!

Hey ! What the heck? This was my first Hipcamp experience in a state unknown to me and I come to find … that This property and hosts are some of the raddest and kindest folk I’ve met on the road across America ! They welcomed me in , showed me the ropes, the bungaló was exactly what was advertised, and their family was hospitable, respectful, and very welcoming. Note about my personal experience in the bungaló- a Lightning storm was over head and through the clear roof, I had an amazing show to fall asleep to with the rain tippity tapping over head. Amazing- I’d do it again if I ever found my self out that way again. Thank you all!

Smaller than we expected but such a friendly host that we enjoyed chatting with over a fire pit. If you want a more private spot, book the bungalow. The kids had fun playing on the "old school" Nintendo. We enjoyed learning about rocks and cutting. Seriously there nicest host. The margs were great too :)

1000/10 would recommend Barefoot Gardens. Whether you are looking for a quiet getaway or a charming down to earth experience with a local family this is it! Ethan and his family provided the perfect space to unwind! We stayed in the bungalow and slept wonderfully! If you choose the bungalow be sure to bring a good cot or sleeping mat! Ethan even provided a fan which kept us perfectly cool! We also chose to get a garden tour! Ethan is so knowledgeable about gardening, edible plants/foraging, composting, rocks, music, art, and so much more! If you enjoy a good conversation, this super sweet family will share some amazing stories you’ll never forget! Honestly, you’d be missing out if you didn’t spend some time with them! I felt our time with Ethan and his family was the best part of the stay! I would HIGHLY recommend signing up for the educational opportunities! You’ll learn so much! The shower is PERFECT! Especially for hot days and the eggs we picked up were SO GOOD! Barefoot Gardens is a little piece of heaven on earth!

The parking was a bit a ways away from the camp spot so if you had a lot of stuff like we did it’s a bit much to carry all of it down a rocky hill though the woods. The trails were really great could walk for hours around the property and not get lost because all trails lead back to the camp site or the parking lot. My wife did a workshop with the owners that was interesting and creative. Over all a good spot to pitch a tent. Just know you will have to carry your stuff a good ways to get to the camp spot

Barefoot Gardens Camp & Homestead
My husband and I stayed in the screened in Bungalow for two nights. Everything was just beautiful and perfect! Ethan was very hospitable as well as his wife and two very friendly dogs. Our goal was to have a peaceful weekend and Barefoot Gardens was the perfect spot. The simplicity of the land and Bungalow was very down to earth and just what we wanted. There was lights strung up outside and a hammock to swing and relax under the trees.You can see Ethan's love for his beautiful area when he speaks about it. We will be bring our children next time for sure!

Ethan was very friendly and helped us feel at ease! The bungalow perfect for our camping mats, so we didn’t even need to put up our tent. The toilet was easy to use as well.
