Our farmstay experiences began in the spring of 2024, starting from bare ground and a big vision. Since then, we've been cultivating a vibrant food forest filled with organic herbs, vegetables, and berries. We've planted an orchard with apples, peaches, nectarines, cherries, and plums, and we share the land with a cheerful little flock of chickens and guinea fowl. We're still a work in progress—continually learning, planting, and improving. Our goal is simple: to grow nourishing food, including our handcrafted tinctures, and share it with our community.

Artax Campsite
We're thrilled to extend a warm welcome to our peaceful slice of secluded paradise on the Dancing Phoenix Farm, where you can enjoy unique farmstay experiences.
Your ARTAX campsite is situated amidst gently rolling land in the Southwestern Grasslands of South Dakota, about 15 minutes in from SD44, and approximately 45 minutes from Rapid City. You will be driving on a dirt/gravel road with uneven terrain to get to us. This location is perfect for a quick overnighter if you're visiting South Dakota's nearby nature sights and parks.
Pitch your tent, park your RV/camper, bus, or other ride on our pasture and enjoy the stunning panoramic views of the rolling hills of Hermosa, the Black Hills, Badlands, and unobstructed sunrise and sunset views. Children and leashed pets are welcome at no additional cost.
Your site is equipped with a table for you to enjoy your meals outdoors, and a nearby water spigot is available for your convenience. RV hookups currently consist of an extension cord to 220 power.
Your campsite is located in the wild and rustic, sometimes windy, plains of South Dakota, and may not be for everyone. We can experience extreme weather in all seasons.
When you stay with us, you will get the experience of camping in the middle of nowhere, South Dakota - wild, raw, sometimes windy, and rugged. It's an amazing experience to be had - with stunning views and a feeling of freedom that's hard to find in more urbanized locations.
While here, you may encounter badgers, coyotes, deer, pronghorn, wild turkeys, frogs/toads, turtles, voles, bull snakes, rattlers, owls, creepy-crawlers - and you may experience annoying mosquitos and flies during the hotter summer season. We have a friendly barn cat, HERO, that may visit you as well. Please don't feed the beasts or approach any wildlife!
Would you like to sample our homemade booch (kombucha)? Just ask!
As stewards of the land, we're delighted to share this natural sanctuary with you to enjoy. Stargazing on the site can't be beat! Photo enthusiasts will enjoy some amazing and breathtaking photo-worthy scenery and views.
Please come prepared with blankets and sleeping bags, as nighttime temperatures can drop below freezing. Be prepared for travel and camping in sometimes extreme winter cold. Be sure to check out the local forecast before traveling.
If you have Food Forest/Permaculture, farming, gardening, or Back to Eden experience and are interested in contributing to our farm, we welcome your discussions and ideas, with short or long-term arrangements.
We're in the process of building a small country store on the property where you can find handcrafted tinctures, herbal oils, and other organic herbs, perfect for gifts or personal use. We make shower steamers, balms, and jewelry/gift items made from our kombucha scobies, along with organic items we make from things we collect around the farm.
We offer for purchase items such as 16 oz. propane, children's books written by Susi (featuring our adorable Bull Terrier, Makai), half dozen farm-fresh eggs when available, MayaMoon Ceremonial Cacao, extra basic sleeping bag, and Duraflame firelogs.
Help us maintain the pristine beauty of our surroundings by tidying your campsite and removing all trash before departure. "Leave no Trace" campers, please.
Local amenities, including mini grocery stores and gas stations, can be found in the town of Hermosa, located about 35 minutes away. For a wider range of options and services, Rapid City is located about 45 minutes from your campsite.
We look forward to connecting!
