About
Immerse yourself in the spirit of adventure where the wild prairie whispers stories of pioneering days gone by. With the gentle hum of nature as your backdrop, step into a retreat that combines RV camping with a rich tapestry of American history. Reconnect with a simpler time as you set up your humble abode on one of four dedicated RV hookup sites, complete with electric and water amenities for a seamless stay. At a modest $40, these back-in spots are designed for ease, while the sprawling open prairie ensures every sunrise greets you without a hint of obstruction.
As you roam the lands that once nurtured the dreams of the Ingalls family in the 1880s, you'll find yourself transported back to the era of Laura Ingalls Wilder, who matured here amidst the raw beauty of the land. Ignite your imagination with covered wagon rides that capture the essence of the Homestead Act's promise. Participate in an authentic one-room school session or delve into hands-on activities that allow you to grasp the pioneering lifestyle.
Be mindful, this historical haven sits amidst an open prairie, where the sun holds court in an azure sky and the wind narrates endless tales. While shade is a luxury not found on this hallowed ground, the embrace of the elements adds to the authenticity of your RV camping experience.
For your convenience, while sewer hookups are not available at each site, a dump station is thoughtfully provided in the parking lot. Should the magnetic pull of history entice you to secure an RV sanctuary with us, we encourage you to reach out via email or fill out the camping request form on our website to reserve your slice of heritage.
Welcome to a place where the echoes of the past harmonize with the comforts of modern RV campinga canvas for both relaxation and reflection under the vast Dakota sky.
