The cabin had a nice cozy feel in a quiet tucked away woodsy space. Only there for 12 hours, great night of sleep.

We do have a portable solo stove you may use along with fire wood. Just let us know, but use proper fire safety and put out before retiring for the evening.

Weekend Trip to Edge Hill
We easily located Brian's spot and enjoyed exploring the cute town of Luverne as well as Beaver Creek (The Cidery!) as well as Sioux Falls. For larger rigs I would recommend spots 1 or 2. We ended up in spot 4 and we fit in it just fine, but we're not the best at backing up and it took us several tries due to the angle. (That's on us, not Brian!)

This was a nice campground, easy pull through site and very conveniently located right off I90. It was a halfway point for us to stop and sleep on our way to the Black Hills. We didn’t really have time to explore the campground, but it worked great for us.

We spent two nights on Katie and Chris’s land and we couldn’t have had a nicer time. Both Katie and Chris welcomed us with firewood and stories about their well loved land. The space was peaceful and the free range chickens entertained us. The facilities were great and the outdoor shower was perfect. Highly recommend a stop at this adorable Hipcamp.
