South Dakota's best Hip Camp 2021 and 2023 with a respectable 2nd in 2022., Thanks to the best campers for help making the best Hip Camp. 

Uncle B's Produce Farm

Awarded South Dakota's best Hip Camp to see in 2024, 2023, 2021, and runner up in 2022. 

Uncle B's farm is a small 11 acre hobby farm with a large vegetable garden, chickens, peafowl, guinea fowl, turkeys, a goat, dogs, and cats. There is an old quarried stone railroad bridge and a few short walking trails around the pond. The pond is at the back of the property where I have 6 dry camp sites listed as Uncle B's farm for tents or self contained RV's. All sites have partial to full shade and most have mature trees that will work for a hammock or tensile tent. All of the campsites have a firepit, some with cooking grates and all sites have a picnic table. The "shower shack" is shared by all guests and has 2 separate 3/4 baths with all modern plumbing. There is also a basic outdoor kitchen with a few portable grills as well as a sink with modern plumbing.

Available at Uncle B's RV Camper site I have 3 RV sites with water and 30 Amp electrical hookups.

My "Ready Set Camp" listing is a dome tent set up and furnished with 2 cots, table, and lamp as well as a match ready fire. 

The Barn loft apartment is a studio apartment with a small galley kitchen and private bath.  

Uncle B's farm has been voted Best Hip Camp to see in South Dakota for the 3rd time.... Come see why...

One of the many great Hip Campers I have been fortunate enough to host.

Some of America's best travel destinations... 

Added a used playset to camp to help entertain some of the younger campers. 


Wilson Ranch

Learn more about this land:A great way to hit the reset button. Come rest on our rustic, quiet little acreage where you've got room to roam or just be still. If you need any resource however, it is close at-hand. 

We are a rural South Dakota property. We live conveniently just a half mile off of I29 at the Flandreau exit but down a quiet dirt road. We love to travel ourselves but routinely have company staying on our property in their horse trailers, campers and tents. One recent visit from family out of CA in their camper had us considering joining the list of hosts for Hip Camp, as that is how they had been traveling throughout the pandemic and felt we'd be a good addition to the mix. So here we are! 

There are no amenities currently in the spot we feel works best but we'd love to see how this fits with our property and lifestyle and give it a try. 

A little more about us and where you would be staying, we are a combined family with four teenage kids coming and going. My husband is a farrier (shoes horses) and a former professional team roper, so we've got an acreage with horses. Keeping them company are a donkey, two goats, a few dogs and a varying number of cats roaming the property at any given time. While our horses are often in a separate pasture during the winter months, there is a lot of activity in the arena during the spring, summer and fall. Local kids and adults can often be seen training, roping, goat tying, or running barrels. We have never offered riding for visitors but may look into it for special weekend events as we embark on this new adventure.

A little about the community we call home - it is an historic, diverse and cool little town worth exploring. We've got a lot of new development in the works with our tribal community and city, many great local places to eat and grab a drink, communities nearby like Brookings, Sioux Falls, and Pipestone where you can bike, hike, boat and fish, and enjoy being as alone as you want or together with the locals. We also work with a local tribal educator who is available to book time with if you'd like to learn more about the Native history in our area and a few words in the Dakota language. 

Thank you for considering a stop in our little corner of the world. We hope wherever you're heading in 2021, it's beautiful, safe and a trip to remember. 

Safe travels, friends.
