Weekend Trip to Eagle Lode

Loved this site. Great tent platform—-and perfectly secluded. Will be using again!

2 nights at Bear Den Cabins & Camp

We loved staying with Tammy and Tim. They provide lots of amenities, the place was clean and all the campers were friendly. Fire pits were great as it was rainy and cold while we were there. Couldn't ask for a better place to stay.

4 nights at Bear Den Cabins & Camp

Pristine and comforting are not words usually associated with camping, but if you stay here, that's what you'll find - a clean, comfy spot to get away. Tammy cares for her land and the people who stay there. This is where you want to be! GO!

Weekend Trip to Custer RV Only Camp Spot

What a welcome stop this was. Beautiful, peaceful and private. This was our 6th stop on a 12 stop 3000+ mile road trip and one we have enjoyed the most. We started in the southwest where most of the campsites we had were on dirt or gravel. Kurt was super easy to communicate with, very responsive and he met us at the driveway to direct us to our spot. We would definitely pick this place again if we are in the area.

3 nights at Bear Den Cabins & Camp

Our stay was absolutely fantastic! It is in a perfect location for exploring the surrounding area. The bathrooms were kept extremely clean. The property itself is so beautiful and peaceful. Everything exceeded our expectations and we highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to Sturgis View Campground

Beautiful overlook of Sturgis, lots of places to pop a tent or hammock and feel secluded, or an RV if your that type of bougie. Jennifer and Nick are wonderful! Would totally recommend.

4 nights at Eagle Lode

Wonderful experience! It was very remote and peaceful which is exactly what we were looking for. The view of the woods and hills was incredible! Definitely worth it! Only thing to note is that the drive up could be tough if you don’t have the vehicle for it. Road is very rocky due to rockslides and you have to drive through two creeks. I have a Honda HRV and it went just fine. Just be cautious if you have a lower vehicle, and make sure you have good tires!

4 nights at Tent camping near a pine forest

Great hosts . Nice heated shower area, game room, playground. Will be back whenever I visit the black hills area

5 nights at Tent camping near a pine forest

Jennifer was easy to work with and very helpful. She responded to my emails quickly and answered all of my questions. She helped me find the perfect camping spot for our needs. Camping areas were extremely clean and they even deliver firewood to you. I highly recommend and I will camp with them again when in the area. Thank you so much!!

1 night at Custer RV Only Camp Spot

Great space and very easy set up. Kurt came out to make sure we had evertrhing we needed.

2 nights at Lake Park Campground

It was a great spot even if it was raining! Excellent staff, flush toilets and showers too.. been nice to have a bench to put things on. Or hooks. But it was effective!

4 nights at Tent camping near a pine forest

Great location. In the trees. Clean restrooms and showers. Friendly staff.

1 night at Battle Creek Camping Resort

We LOVED our stay at the Pine Tent! The tent was spacious enough for myself and my boyfriend and we had plenty of space for our bags. The coffee and smores was a gracious touch and the thoughtful hospitality was through the roof with additional blankets, towels, games, and outdoor accessories. If you are hesitant about a bath house, don't be with this one. It was the best of both worlds for someone like me who wants to enjoy camping but with a little more features. We will definitely be coming back!

Weekend Trip to Bear Den Cabins & Camp

We were so impressed with this property. Tammie is an amazing host, and thought of everything we could possibly need. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were SO CLEAN! We plan to be return campers here, it's an ideal location for visiting the Black Hills and Custer State park. So much to do and see in just a short drive.

Weekend Trip to Eagle Lode

If you need somewhere away from the rush of people but still want to be close enough for the action, this spot is for you. You’ll hear turkeys and lots of birds singing throughout your day, not to mention the beautiful rushing creek nearby to the site that makes it picture perfect. Site isn’t very hard to find, even at night as the path up is slightly lit and very easy to see in the dark, if you have a bigger vehicle like my Silverado, turning around to get into the spot isn’t the most fun, but it’s very doable and worth it to come. The 2 creeks might look large but they are very shallow when you cross them. The hosts were wonderful and answered any questions before I even booked. Come here for a central location that still makes you feel like you’re in the middle of nowhere while at camp.

3 nights at Rustic Rendezvous

Really fabulous spot central to everything in this area of South Dakota. Great amenities with covered patio, access to electricity and your washroom and toilet - luxury! Great view and we even had deer and turkeys wander through. Lynn and Rod are great hosts and gave us lots of advice on what to do around the area. We were so glad we booked to stay 3 nights so didn’t have to pack up each night.

Weekend Trip to Bear Den Cabins & Camp

Tammy is an incredible host - a warm and lovely person. She's created a community that she cares a lot about and it shows in every detail. As a backpacker herself, she knows what a private campsite like this needs. She's got two great covered shelters, a super upscale shower/bathroom area, access to a washer dryer, spigots with fresh potable water, and each tent/cabin has it's own fire bowl that you can cozy up to. She met us to give us a tour and answer any questions even though we rolled up much later than we had meant to. She also told us about the other guests and encouraged us to introduce ourselves - which was lovely. We were super well-located for Custer State Park and Badlands.

Weekend Trip to Pine Haven Lodging

Very beautiful Campground! The Campground showers were amazing!

5 nights at Custer RV Only Camp Spot

Beautiful stop and conveniently located! Cousins used the property next to us and it worked out so nicely for us. Kurt was in touch whenever we needed him and stopped to chat often, which was fun for our group! Our well behaved dog was well received which helped us a lot!

1 night at Camp Custer in Star Valley

Excellent location, very private, our dog loved ir and we had a nice view!

Greetings! We're thrilled to extend a warm welcome to our peaceful slice of secluded paradise, on the Dancing Phoenix Farm. **Before your arrival, we ask that you familiarize yourself with the rules outlined upon booking. Also, please ensure you arrive NO LATER THAN 7PM to secure your reservation.** **PLEASE TAKE A SCREENSHOT OF THE WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONS, AS YOU WILL LOSE PHONE SERVICE ON YOUR WAY. PLEASE TRUST OUR DIRECTIONS, VS. ENTERING IT INTO YOUR GPS AND CROSSING YOUR FINGERS. YOU WILL GET LOST** To facilitate a smooth check-in process, we ask that you send us a text message an hour before your arrival, as cell phone reception is unreliable in our remote location. If you have any doubts or questions on how to get here, reach out to us BEFORE you head toward the site, and well before 7pm, as we will close all campsites at 7pm. Originally from the city, we now find ourselves fully immersed in life at The Farm, situated amidst gently rolling land in the Southwestern Grasslands of South Dakota. Your campsite is located about 15 minutes in from SD44, and approximately 45 minutes from Rapid City. You will be driving on a dirt/gravel road to get to us. You may want to put your vehicle in 4wd to get to your site, given the uneven terrain on the dirt road that takes you to your campground. The location is perfect for a quick overnighter, if you're visiting South Dakota's nearby nature sights and parks. Our family lives on the property, and we're happy to help answer any questions or concerns. This is a working farm, and you may see us on the pasture, upgrading and maintaining. We're glad to share with you and happy to have you "ghost us" as we work, if that's an interest of yours. Be sure to flag us down if you need anything. ABOUT OUR CAMPGROUND Pitch your tent, park your RV/camper, bus or other ride on our pasture and enjoy the stunning panoramic views of the rolling hills of Hermosa, the Black Hills, Badlands and unobstructed sunrise and sunset views. Children and leashed pets are welcome, at no additional cost. To give you a glimpse into the experience that awaits, take a moment to watch a video review of our MORLA site by Precious Kofi, a former guest who visited during the Spring of 2023, when we resided and hosted in Colorado. You can find the video here: {https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvyzVA3Tzjk&t=1157s}. Your site is equipped with a table for you to enjoy your meals outdoors, and a nearby water spigot is available for your convenience. Your campsite is located in the wild and rustic, sometimes windy, plains of South Dakota, and may not be for everyone. We can experience extreme weather in all seasons. When you stay with us, you will get the experience of camping in the middle of nowhere, South Dakota - wild, raw, sometimes windy and rugged. It's an amazing experience to be had - with stunning views and a feeling of freedom that's hard to find in more urbanized locations. While here, you may encounter badgers, coyotes, deer, pronghorn, wild turkeys, frogs/toads, turtles, voles, bull snakes, rattlers, owls, creepy-crawlers - and you may experience annoying mosquitos and flies during the hotter summer season. We have a friendly barn cat, HERO, that may visit you as well. Please don't feed the beasts or approach any wildlife! Would you like to sample our homemade booch (kombucha)? Just ask! As stewards of the land, we're delighted to share this natural sanctuary with you to enjoy. Stargazing on the site can't be beat, and you may even catch a UFO or alien... if you're aligned! We've had guests liken their experience here to visiting another planet. We attribute this to the unique ambiance of our home and location. Photo enthusiasts will enjoy some amazing and breathtaking photo-worthy scenery and views. Please come prepared with blankets and sleeping bags, as nighttime temperatures can drop below freezing. Be prepared for travel and camping in sometimes extreme winter cold. Be sure to check out the local forecast before traveling. Of course, we will be happy to refund any weather-related cancellations. If you'd like to start your day with a complimentary cup of instant coffee or herbal tea delivered to your site between 5-7 am, simply let us know your preference the night before. We offer a brown-bag style breakfast/snack for $5, as well. Your choice of a couple farm-fresh hard-boiled eggs with Meusli, yogurt with Meusli - or an English muffin/butter, with mixed nuts. If you have Food Forest/Permaculture, farming, gardening or Back to Eden experience and are interested in contributing to our farm - we welcome your discussions and ideas, with short or long term arrangements. We're in the process of building a small country store on the property. Reach out If you'd like to purchase handcrafted items for yourself, or as gifts. We make shower steamers, homemade tinctures, balms, herbal oils and jewelry/gift items made from our kombucha scobies - along with organic items we make from items we collect around the farm. We also offer for purchase items such as 16 oz. propane, children's books written by Susi (featuring our adorable Bull Terrier, Makai), half dozen farm-fresh eggs (if the chicks are in the mood), MayaMoon Ceremonial Cacao, extra basic sleeping bag, and a Duraflame firelog. Hipcamp messages, email, and texts are the best way to reach us, as cellular reception is limited. Help us maintain the pristine beauty of our surroundings by tidying your campsite and removing all trash before departure. "Leave no Trace" campers, please. ABOUT THE AREA Local amenities, including mini grocery stores and gas stations, can be found in the town of Hermosa, located about 35 minutes away. For a wider range of options and services, Rapid City is located about 45 minutes from your campsite. Check out the property photos for some 'things to do nearby' suggestions. **In summary, once again: **Before your arrival, we ask that you familiarize yourself with the rules outlined upon booking.
