Weekend Trip to Uncle B's Produce Farm

Wow. I couldn’t have asked for a better stay. The farm is clearly a labor of love with no shortage on hidden surprises. Brian is incredible and I couldn’t recommend it enough!

Weekend Trip to Uncle B's Produce Farm

We ended up not staying last-minute because the weather was so hot, but Brian was lovely to communicate with.

Weekend Trip to Uncle B's Produce Farm

The best part of this experience was the host! Incredible energy, kindness and generosity! The worst part? We had to leave! When EVER we’re back on this side of the state we will be picking Uncle B’s Hipcamp! It’s rated #1 for a reason! Across Google, yelp and here in the app, all ratings are 100%! Brian is one of the special ones that makes everyone feel welcome. Instant friend!

Weekend Trip to Uncle B's Produce Farm

Great place to stay! Brian was so welcoming and the property is gorgeous.

1 night at Uncle B's Produce Farm

Not only was the farm amazing, but Uncle B is an incredible human! It was the perfect end to our family trip; peaceful, relaxing, and a beautiful sunset! My kids loved the chickens, turkeys, and peacocks;and my husband lived hearing Brian's stories. We will definitely be back for a longer visit!

3 nights at Uncle B's Produce Farm

Easy to find, lovely stay. Brian was very helpful picking the best campsite for me and my crazy mutt, Xena. Nice shower and restroom. Highly recommend.

1 night at Uncle B's Produce Farm

Brian was an excellent host! He did everything to make our family with kids have a fun and comfortable stay. Highly recommend!!

1 night at The Specialty Crop

Probably the best stay at a hipcamp site yet. Not only was the site lovely, it was adequately sized for our car, tent and a five year old with boundless energy. Katie gave us a tour of the facilities, including a nice clean shower and toilet amenities. The family was more than well prepared for guests, and were all as nice as can be. My little really enjoyed playing with the kids, and the cats around the property. I could not recommend this site more highly. We have it bookmarked for our next adventure to South Dakota, whenever that might be.

1 night at Uncle B's Produce Farm

Cute, eclectic, well-maintained, and quiet. Wonderful host and tent sites spread out with great view of the plains. Definitely recommend!

1 night at Uncle B's Produce Farm

Brian was an awesome host, very personable. He got us set up on a great site for us. I enjoyed a warm shower the morning we left. We had an excellent night stay at his site. Don't forget to checkout the troll under the bridge, the hippie bus (if no one is camped there), mini-me Mount Rushmore and the pond. Thanks again Brian (you know you did good).

Weekend Trip to Uncle B's Produce Farm

Great experience tent camping here. I have a 2 year old with me and this is best for toddlers. Clean and safe. The owner helped us which site is better for us, we have free s'mores! Thank you uncle B!

Weekend Trip to Uncle B's Produce Farm

Brian was very friendly and my boys loved the space to run around and explore after a long day of driving. Even the peacock made an appearance before our departure. We’d definitely stop here again!

Weekend Trip to Uncle B's Produce Farm

Great guy, good stay. We headed out west and needed a stop over on the way. This fit our needs with travel time and wasn't sure what to expect. The site was above expectations, host was friendly and helpful. I wouldn't hesitate to crash there again if needed and would recommend it to anyone who asks. The back sites offer some wooded areas/shade and are spaced out. If you are in a bigger RV and need upfront, it is more just an open space. I would say get in the back if you fit. Thanks for the hospitality.

Weekend Trip to Uncle B's Produce Farm

OMG. My first time using hip camp. What a great experience. Beautiful land. Brian was so friendly. He asked about my interests and have me some great suggestions on what to do in the area. And he hooked me up with just the right site for my needs. I slept better there than I had in weeks. Plus, he sent me home with some starts from his greenhouse. Thanks, Brian. 10 out of 10.

Weekend Trip to Uncle B's Produce Farm

Brian is a great host. He went above and beyond for us. We stayed on the Hippie Bus with our 4 year old. She loved the bus and had so much fun. Im going to recommend staying at Brian's for anyone traveling that way. Thanks again Brian!

Weekend Trip to Uncle B's Produce Farm

Host is very kind and welcoming. It was a blissful place to camp! We especially liked all the farm critters, which included peacocks! If you are looking for a peaceful and safe place to camp, this place would be it!

1 night at Uncle B's Produce Farm

Brian was very welcoming and I felt super safe there.

1 night at Uncle B's Produce Farm

This was the perfect spot to stay! Unfortunately we had booked it as one overnight, but we could’ve easily stayed a few days. Spacious, clean bathrooms with showers. Plenty of space for slide outs and camp chairs without bumping uglies with your neighbor. Brian is so friendly as are his 3 dogs! We would definitely stay here again

1 night at Uncle B's Produce Farm

I rented the hippy bus for myself and two granddaughters, ages 8 & 10. We had a blast, despite the rainy weather. Brian was a great host, meeting is, showing us around, and even starting our fire. It was a unique adventure the girls will remember forever!

Weekend Trip to The Specialty Crop

Chris and Katie are amazing host. They make you feel right at home. Thank you for sharing your amazing farm. I stayed in the cabin and it did not disappoint. The dog and the cats were very welcoming and friendly. The views were amazing. I am so glad I decided to stay and I will share this place with my family and friends that may be passing through. Thank you again.
