Stories from the community

1 night at Uncle B's Produce Farm

Me and my friends drove over 20 hours straight from Philadelphia, and showed up after 11 at night. He was very understanding, and still welcomed us kindly and showed us to our sight, even so late at night. He was very friendly, showing us around his property in the morning, and offering to take pictures for us. As for the camping experience. It was great! The land is very flat, and the sites have plenty of room. We easily set up two 4 person tents with comfortable room in between. The location is great, close enough to the highway and city to make them quick drives, but without any noise pollution. The campsite has good connection, and private showers and bathrooms. If i’m ever driving through SD again, i’ll make sure to set up camp here.

1 night at Uncle B's Produce Farm

The owner greeted us and gave us a s’mores pack which was really sweet. We came in kind of late and he was still there greeting us. The place was nice and clean. We will likely come back.

1 night at Uncle B's Produce Farm

Uncle B’s is perhaps our favorite Hipcamp! Brian is so thoughtful, and his farm has become a dear place for our family. We have visited several times in the past few years. There are wonderful spots, farm fresh eggs and warm showers. It is a little out of the way, but we love that because we can see so many stars on a clear night. Brian is incredibly responsive. Don’t pass up this beautiful spot.

1 night at Uncle B's Produce Farm

This is our favorite place to stay. The Host is so amazing. He brings the kids toys, provides fresh eggs and fire wood. The location is also amazing. On low moon days the starts seam like they are popping from the sky and the farm animals are always a favorite with my kids! Make this a destination or ensure you stay if your passing through!

1 night at Uncle B's Produce Farm

Brian was available right upon arrival. He showed us our campsite and informed us about all the amenities. The tour of the property was very fun, and it was nice to hear about how everything came together. I was only there one night, as a pit stop for my road trip, but the property is well-maintained and perfect for a multi-day stay!

Weekend Trip to The Specialty Crop

I couldn’t possibly speak more highly of this secluded little getaway. The hosts were very accommodating, welcoming, friendly, and brought a sense of peace, safety, and serenity. The communication was outstanding as soon as I reserved the cabin. The accommodations were beyond expectations and the location was beautiful. All of the critters were lovely to be around, especially their sweet little pup. The extras that they offer are outstanding and I wish I could have tried them all. I would suggest a few days stay - one day simply isn’t enough. You get well over your moneys worth and are guaranteed a great trip when booking with this absolutely incredible family. If I could go to this cabin weekly, you best bet that I certainly would!

Weekend Trip to Uncle B's Produce Farm

Fun farm vibe! Brian is good people, along with his outstanding camping facilities… Provides all the things that you would need to enjoy one night or a full weekend or even longer! Great walking paths, cool stories, and nice bathrooms make for a well maintained property and hip camp experience. Will definitely stay again! Thanks, Brian!

Weekend Trip to The Specialty Crop

We did not actually get to stay here because our plans changed but the hosts were very kind and communicative.

1 night at Uncle B's Produce Farm

place is great, and the host is a gem. Brian ensures everyone settles in nicely and checks in politely, and is genuinely inquisitive and wants to get to know his clients. he clearly takes pride in providing a good experience for the money and that’s refreshing in the current climate of trying to squeeze every dollar out of the average person. the property itself is well kept and clean, with two functioning bathrooms, as well as a outdoor indoor shower. the hobby farm has ducks chickens and a few charming dogs. over all a great stay, loved it

1 night at Uncle B's Produce Farm

This place was great! Beautiful setting and the sites are well maintained, easy to find, and I really enjoyed walking around the property at dusk and hanging with the fireflies. Brian is a great host, very accommodating and friendly. Even gave me a s’mores supply kit and some fresh eggs when I showed up!!! I really enjoyed my stay and wish I had longer to hang out and explore the area.

1 night at Uncle B's Produce Farm

Loved staying here. Uncle Brian is such a kind and interesting person who was willing to accommodate so much about our stay there. Even gave us free smores and stickers when we were staying. If you’re traveling through the area, the hippie bus is a must see.

6 nights at Uncle B's Produce Farm

We stayed longer than most (6 days) at Uncle B's Farm and Hipcamp and couldn't have been happier. Brian was so nice and giving to our family and we will always be greatful for that. He had craft items so our daughters could make bracelets. He gave our son some Hot Wheels cars. The farm fresh eggs and corn were the best. He also provided a bag of smores ingredients on arrival. We were there July 4th and he even introduced me to his neighbors so I could hang out with them to set off fireworks and make a show for the camp. Staying there also let us experience how my mother-in-law (paseed away 1 year ago) lived on her childhood farm located not more that a mile away. It was a deeply moving experience and we thank Brian for that. When we go through the area again, we will definitely stop in. I can't recommend Uncle B's Farm and Hipcamp enough.

1 night at Uncle B's Produce Farm

The grounds were green, well-maintained, and included trees, shrubery and water. Individual tent sites were well laid out and very pleasant. Amenities like water, bathrooms, and firewood were easily available and more than adequate. Brian is very friendly and helpful, interesting to talk with, and generous in providing welcome gifts of s'mores packs, firewood and fresh eggs. Other guests were friendly and quiet. My stay was exactly what I had hoped-for and I plan to stay again on my return from Seattle to St Louis.

1 night at Uncle B's Produce Farm

Stayed again on our way back through because nothing can beat Uncle B’s! Thanks for the hospitality, again!

Weekend Trip to Uncle B's Produce Farm

Great stay great host. All around great. Brian was very welcoming gave us s’mores stuff and firewood for free upon arrival. Helped accommodate us to everything we asked for. Beautiful land.

Weekend Trip to Uncle B's Produce Farm

The campground is whimsical. Bath/shower clean and roomy. Kitchen area great for grilling and doing dishes. Animals and garden add to the charm of Uncle B’s!

Weekend Trip to Uncle B's Produce Farm

This was, by far, the coolest camping experience our family has had - and we've camped a lot. Uncle B goes put of his way to make you feel welcome and appreciated. All the little details of his property make it super special. Our kids didn't want to leave (and neither did we!). He is super hospitable and we would definitely come back. If you need a place to stay - stay here. It was fun, safe, enjoyable, and we were made to feel welcome - just the perfect amount of all of it.

Weekend Trip to Uncle B's Produce Farm

Uncle B's surpassed our expectations. The bus had so many fun and thoughtful touches, as did the entire property--Brian even supplied some fireworks for entertainment! The peacocks, turkeys, and farm dogs were great company. A comfortable, welcoming stay. We'll be sending our friends to Uncle B's

1 night at Downhome Country Farm

We loved staying the night here! It was an unexpected find but it was the most magical stay! The campground was clean, fun, and lively. The farm animals were so cute and a nice touch to the land. Carole and her husband were so kind showing us around their property and made us feel right at home. The bathroom was very clean and the cowboy shower was so fun to use! 100% would recommend and 100% will be back!! Thank you Carole!

1 night at Uncle B's Produce Farm

This was our second visit to Uncle B's. Brian is an excellent host! We arrived late and Brian started a campfire for us while we set up the RV. He gave us a smores kit! Brian pours his heart into his Hipcamp and it shows! The shower house is clean and welcoming. There are two large seperate private bathrooms that have large shower stalls. He has added a mini Mt. Rushmore statue along the walking trail. We enjoy watching the peacocks, guinea, and chickens. The license plate swap is a fun extra. We missed seeing Lisa this year! If you are close by it is worth a detour to stay at Uncle B's!
