In Canton, if swimming’s your priority, you’re in luck—there are over 500 campgrounds set up for easy water access, with the average spot costing $52 a night and some as low as $25. Expect practical touches: most sites welcome pets, have toilets, and allow campfires, so you won’t be short on the basics. You’ll find campsites lining riverbanks, near farm ponds, and dotted around hidden lakes. Standouts include Uncle B's Produce Farm (981 reviews)—swimmers love the farm’s pond and the open space to spread out—plus Blue Tin Ranch (103 reviews) and Edge Hill (20 reviews).

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 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.

We purchased the property for use as a honey bee ranch. We no long keep bees, but we still love to go out to the country, and garden, and just enjoy the peace and quiet. Learn more about this land: Please, don't make a reservation, and then invite a bunch of people to join you. Your guests aren't my guests, but can be. Just a field near the Big Sioux River. Amenities will be added, as demand warrants. Lots of peace and quiet. Still close to Dell Rapids SD, for gas, bait, groceries, etc. We believe in equality for all, Top Freedom Friendly!
