Uncle B's Produce Farm

Awarded South Dakota's best Hip Camp 4 times. Uncle B's farm is a small 11 acre hobby farm with a large vegetable garden, chickens, peafowl, guinea fowl, turkeys, 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 4 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. 

The Hippie Bus is new for the 2025 season and offers a trip back in time.  

Uncle B's farm has been voted Best Hip Camp to see in South Dakota for the 4th time and placed 2nd in the nation in 2022. Come see why...

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. 

January 2023. 24 inches of snow will fill the pond and make for a great camping season in 2023
