We booked this out of season but Carole and her husband were so welcoming and accommodating. We loved all the animals and the fire pit. Would 10/10 recommend!

12 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents11 acres · Monroe, SD

Awarded South Dakota's best Hip Camp to see in 2024, 2023, 2021, and runner up in 2022. Uncle B's farm is a small 11 acre hobby farm with a large vegetable garden, chickens, peafowl, guinea fowl, turkeys, a goat, 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 2 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 3rd time.... Come see why...

Camping near Freeman guide

Overview

With vast open prairies and rolling hills, the landscape around Freeman, South Dakota promises a restful camping escape. Less than 20 miles southwest of Freeman, discover the tranquil waters of Lake Menno. Campground amenities include electric hookups for RVs, access to potable water, picnic tables, and a small playground for kids. From the boat launch, head out onto the remarkably clear waters to reel in largemouth bass and black crappie. For more of a forested setting, head about an hour east to Newton Hills State Park. RV and tent camping here offers easy access to volleyball and basketball courts, a grand amphitheater, and picnic shelters. Cabin rentals provide an even more comfortable stay. Hiking and wildlife enthusiasts will enjoy the Blue Diamond and Woodland Trail Loop with opportunities to spot over 200 species of birds, plus white-tailed deer, marmots, and red foxes. On the first Saturday in October, the trail is illuminated with candles for FestiFall, an annual event featuring arts and crafts, hayrides, and live bluegrass music.
