We are a "retired" couple. Our joy comes from making sure people are having fun. DeAnn is an artist and loves to design and beautify the sites, ranch, and even city.

The Allen Ranch is a family owned business. Our operation is laid back, peaceful, with plenty of room for hiking, river tubing (bring your own tube), and wildlife viewing. A perfect setup for weddings, birthdays, reunions, and special events. The Allen Ranch is located in southwest South Dakota within the Black Hills and 50 minutes from the National Monuments. We offer the visitor a complete outdoor "re-wilding" adventure into the old west that includes our Sioux Indian Tipi village. We are located along a gentle flowing river known as the "Minnekahta", the river of warm water. Our Glamping tent and tipi's are available for an evening or an extended stay. We welcome families, or group vacationers. We also accommodate large group tours and customize a vacation package for any length of stay. A primitive camping area for tents is also available. The natural beauty of the area can be enjoyed from the river valley, or you may hike or bike to the top of the Seven Sisters mountain range to view the distant badlands and Black Hills. We also have a playground and wading and tubing for kids in our warm water river ... Great fun for the entire family!!

Located just outside of Hot Springs, SD, minutes to a grocery store and camping supply store for all your supplies and needs.
