We purchased the property for use as a honey bee ranch. We no long keep bees, but we still love to go out to the country, and garden, and just enjoy the peace and quiet.

Please, don't make a reservation, and then invite a bunch of people to join you. Your guests aren't my guests, but can be.
Just a field near the Big Sioux River. Amenities will be added, as demand warrants. Lots of peace and quiet. Still close to Dell Rapids SD, for gas, bait, groceries, etc.

We couldn't find a single thing to complain about during our stay at Audrey and Richard's farm. This was easily one of the most comfortable, well-organized, and spotless places we visited on our entire cross-country journey from Boston to Seattle.
Beyond the beautiful property itself, we were delighted by our conversations with both hosts. They're genuinely fascinating and inquisitive people – the kind you could happily chat with for hours! Their thoughtfulness extended right to our departure, when they sent us off with fresh fruit for the road – such a sweet and generous touch.
One night wasn't enough time to fully enjoy such a wonderful place, and we're already planning our return visit.

This was one of the best camping experiences we have ever had. From booking, arriving, & to leaving the Moon Stone Farm, Audrey’s communication was amazing. She made our camping experience so easy! We accidentally forgot to pack butter and sugar, she kindly invited us to her summer kitchen and provided us with everything we needed for our stay. She also gave us fresh herbs and peppers for our supper that night. She would check up from time to time to see if we needed anything. When we where here we rented bikes and enjoyed a nice canoeing experience at her little beach on her land. This place gives such a beautiful zen and peaceful vibe. We would 100% percent visit this place over and over again.

The land is absolutely beautiful. The pond felt like swimming in a magic hidden grove. The camp fire wood was freshly split and bone dry. Burned long and hot. The only bad thing were the BUGS. Be prepared in every possible way to combat them. We camp a lot and it was probably the worst we have ever encountered. We left a day early because of how much worse the bugs got after a night of rain. The only refuge was inside the hot tent. Richard and Audrey were lovely hosts, checking in with us to make sure we had everything we needed every once in a while. Would highly recommend this stay, but maybe in a less buggy time of year.

Weekend Trip to Moon valley camping
The wooden pod was more than I expected! It was cozy, comfortable, and just the right size. I rained the whole time I was there and I was able to relax and read book’s while enjoying the sound of the rain. I will definitely be back for another stay.
