Stay the night in Fern! Fern is a mixture of modern and vintage. My wife and I remodeled our bus last spring and we couldn't help, but share it! Fern is a destination rental and can be dropped off at your favorite campground, airbnb(ask for other hosts permission) or right in your front lawn. I have resources for the best campgrounds and Black Hills adventures in my guest guidebook! Read notes below for directions on how to access guidebook, delivery/setup costs, and what to expect from the stay.
This is a full service camper experience, meaning you pick a campsite and we will provide delivery of the camper. Setup fee is $30. Delivery fee is $4.00/mile one way unless you choose between Spokane Creek Campground, Elk Haven Campground, and Wolf Camp Campground, then the delivery fee will be free. While we work with licensing in the National Forest, please refrain from booking with National Forest campgrounds.
Upon booking please let me know which campgrounds you are going to be located at or if you have not booked one yet please let me know you are still on the search for campgrounds. If drop off exceeds 100 miles round trip, please message me prior to booking.
Not sure which Black Hills adventure to hit up next? Looking for a local restaurant, coffee shop, hike, bar, dirt bike/quad trail, bison tour, or scenic drives. I will have a guidebook inside of the camper to assist you in finding your adventures while you are out here. If you are interested in bison tours please message me as my family is doing tours of our private bison herd this summer.
What do my services include? My service includes delivery of camper(with fee), camper set up (electric hook up, sewer hook up, level).
How does it work? You book a site, give me the details and we will work together to establish a drop off time. It's that easy!

water: no need for water hookup except for filling up 7 gallon tanks
electric: 20 amp site, but most 30 or 50 amp sites will have a 20 amp next to the 30 or 50 amp breaker, so you will need to verify. If you would like to purchase a non electric site, please message me about it as there is a back up battery and solar panels that can be included (form will need to be signed).
sewer: no need for sewer, but you should look for a campsite with a bathroom as fern has no bathroom (portable toilet can be provided if requested, but there is limited space so only request if needed)

The space includes a sink, two full size beds, kitchen cabinets, and 3 large storage areas.
OFFGRID: This bus if fully capable of off grid living if you wish to find a place in the forest to camp for free. With a 712wh backup batter and 200w solar panels it should be able to keep you up and running throughout the duration of you stay (constant usage and lack of sunlight can effect this, off grid never fully guarantees electricity.
About the bus: The kitchen comes with plates, cups, mugs, a pot, a 10" skillet, a spatula, tongs, aero press for coffee and a two burner propane stove. The two beds include two duvets and four pillows unless guest specifically requests to bring their own bedding. the top of the middle cabinet does have legs that fold out as a small table. There is a common 110v hook up on the outside of the bus to supply electricity to the led lights, water pump, and the electrical outlets on the backside and middle of the vans interior. There are two 7 gallon water jugs that can be hooked up to the fresh water supply, and gray water will cycle through the bottom of the bus (a container can be place underneath the bus, wherever gray water is not permittable).
