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.

Very clean. We were only there for a quick overnight, but we would definitely stay here again. It being on the trail was really nice and made for a nice walk with our dog before we retired to bed.

Weekend Trip to Downhome Country Farm
The property was lovely and the owner's are so friendly and make you feel right at home. Loved all of the animals, especially their beautiful dog, Millie. The solar shower was a treat and there were so many decorations and gardens to see. We left with eggs, veggies and great memories. I would highly recommend and hope to return myself one day!

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.

Weekend Trip to The Specialty Crop
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.
