How do you take camping to the next level? Beneath the Pines—that’s how.
Owners, Craig and Katie Hobson are always looking for unique ways places to stay while they travel. Inspiration for Beneath the Pines began when the Hobson’s traveled and camped in North Carolina. Their experience was something they decided they wanted to share with their Spearfish community.
Once the winter of 2019 ended, the planning for this business began but, starting a business isn’t all sunshine and rainbows—there almost more roadblocks and adversity than there are positives. Beneath the Pines struggled with getting an insurance company to cover them because it was such a rare business. Finally, they got someone to believe in them and once they were approved, Beneath the Pines partnered with the Spearfish City Campground.
This creative new way to camp was presented to the public during the Dakota 5-O and the feedback from the adventure crowd was nothing short of a success. The reason this business came to life was to show others what a fun camping experience is like. The goal for Beneath the Pines is to offer an experience to “unplug” and be present with the environment around you all while camping comfortably.
Bringing something new to the Black Hills is always well accepted and the creativity never stops. When you look at the Beneath the Pines camping tents you will see just that—creativity. They offer aroma therapy and pinecone starters for campfires.
Anyone can rent this camping experience for birthday parties, outdoor events and/or receptions. To get a hold of Beneath the Pines, check out their Facebook Page. They are so excited to share this idea with Spearfish. Make sure to keep an eye out on their social media for giveaways and prizes.
