The spot we parked our conversion van was great, level, quiet, and steps away from a well appointed bathroom. The camp host was so kind do come out late to meet us as we arrived. In the daylight, this campground has many interesting and unique amenities. Multiple buildings on site are re-used grain silos! Super cool used of a round metal structure. I’d definitely stay here again!

What an absolute gem! This place is incredibly peaceful, and the hosts are some of the warmest, most welcoming people you’ll ever meet. The grain bin hangout area with the swings is such a unique touch, and it becomes downright magical in the evening when the string lights come on. We loved exploring the property with its charming old tractors and relaxing atmosphere—there’s just an amazing vibe everywhere you look. We felt right at home and honestly didn’t want to leave.

What a laid-back and welcoming place to stop and reset before the Badlands! This couple, having traveled widely, know how to create a space for people to recharge. We enjoyed dinner under the grainzebo, used the fantastic laundry room, had great showers, and had easy hookups. Kelly and his granddaughter chatted with us as we all enjoyed the seating area he has created. The yard accommodates several rvs, though we felt we had space and privacy around our van. Kelly is industrious and creative on his property, which is inspiring, and talking with him was really enjoyable. We would happily return and wholeheartedly recommend this family-style setting to any kind of traveler.
