Brian lives on a beautiful property that he has worked hard to develop for campers. The sites are very individual, with trees and space between campsites. The bathroom/showers are convenient and clean and he has an outdoor kitchen set up for use as well. His property is a delight to explore as there are numerous gnomes and surprises to discover. The night was quiet and dark - located outside a city there were clear skies and only nature’s nighttime sounds. It was a much needed reprieve on a long road trip and by far and away my favorite place on our trip. We will absolutely stay again when traveling that way!

Brian was an excellent host and very friendly conversationalist who went out of his way to trade stories and tell jokes. The farm is charming and well kept; Brian clearly puts a lot of effort into its upkeep and development, and wants to make sure you feel at home there. After being rained out earlier in South Dakota, I was a little trepidatious about camping again when the weather could change, but the overwhelmingly positive reviews for Brian’s hipcamp convinced me to change my mind and give it a shot. A sign of a great host and mc is that they put your fears to rest at once, and after traveling across dark and wet roads for 5 hours to get to Brian’s, I was immediately soothed by his demeanor and accommodation for us. Without even needing to ask or inquire about our situation, Brian seemed to sense what we really needed was somewhere dry and warm, so he set us up with a sheltered clearing, some kindling and firewood, and fixings for s’mores so we could settle in the right way. In the morning we were greeted by curious, friendly dogs, cats, and regal peacocks that were darting around the farm. Brian engaged us with some nice talk and we got to pick his brain about farm life and the sorts of travelers he meets. Before we had to leave he gave us some recommendations for sightseeing along our route to Chicago and loaded us up with delicious cherry tomatoes from his garden.
I can confidently say this was an incredible stay. I’ve traveled all over the world and am always in search of a standout experience, but I didn’t expect to find it in South Dakota. I will be coming back!

Who knew a little produce farm outside of Souixe Falls SD would be one of the highlights of an epic cross country roadtrip? When I pulled up I was in desperate need of a pleasant place to stay, and as soon as I saw peacocks and dogs running around, I knew Uncle Bs was just what the doctor ordered. He was jovial, communicative, generous, and made me and my senior dog feel welcomed and right at home. He was helpful through the entire stay, and provided just the right amount of social interaction-which at this point of my solo trip was needed. Expect tomatoes, s'mores and and a very pleasant environment.Thank you, Brian. I hope to be back someday!! And don't let me forget the RI plate....

Highly recommend! Brian is a phenomenal host. It’s like showing up at a friend’s home. The space was excellent, and having power for AC (it was HOT!) was great - the water was really good, bathrooms with shower were clean and close - just like all the reviewers, if you are near and need a place to stop, this is the place even if you have to drive a little further to get there. I left with delicious cherry tomatoes from the garden, and Brian brought us some larger tomatoes too. Thank you Brian, we appreciate you.

Uncle B’s Camping was absolutely amazing! I tent camped at Site #6, which Brian recommended, and he couldn’t have been more spot-on—it was perfect. The sunsets from the train-track bridge were incredible, and the sunrises were some of the most beautiful I’ve ever seen.
Brian was such a kind and welcoming host. Between the s’mores, fresh vegetables, chickens, dogs, peacocks, and kittens, my heart was completely full. I was traveling and camping alone, and I felt comfortable and safe the entire time. I’m so happy I found this special little place in South Dakota. I would absolutely stay here again!

He made her son feel rated home with all of his creative avenues around his property. I couldn’t find a better place to stay.Thank you, Brian and your family.
