The property has so much history. Larry purchased the 16 acres in 1978 as nothing but a field. His dream was to raise Arabian Horses, so that is what the property was set up to do and he did just that, very successfully. We did convert a few acres into a Market Garden a few years ago and started Kraay's Market Garden, you can find us online. We would love to share our place with you!

Welcome to Brasil Beef high desert pasture 🏜️ 🌵 Our property is 4 miles from BLM, 5 miles from the Mammoth caves and 10 miles from the Ice Caves. You may be greeted by horses, cattle or dogs on our property, and it's quite possible that you will encounter snakes 🐍 and hear coyotes at night (light sleepers take this into account). We do not have designated areas but, please don’t block the turn around area to the far south, please park wherever you desire, walk your route as this virgin ground has many rocks. 🪨 If leveling is an issue & you need to block the road, let’s verify we have no other campers coming. There is a runoff river that runs through the property in the early spring but, rarely has water, however, it has amazing lava rock (similar to Black Magic Canyon which isn’t far away); We also like to use it for campfires! Do not drive into the river bottom unless you have 4WD. Please reach out with questions and we look forward to your visit! Check out all of our extras! We raise Wagyu beef & offer liver dog treats, sourdough bread, we often have dozens of eggs on hand from a local chicken farmer and I make tallow lotion with a dear friend! I am happy to help you source anything you may be interested in while in our little community! 🚌-40ft+ Class A motorhome, traveling East down the 520N you need to turn left on the gravel road (North 250E) and right on 670N-at the stop sign turn right on 3 mile rd E and it will connect you to 520N where you will turn left into the property as the gate is angled to enter this way.

Idaho oh Idaho. You never disappoint. The Salmon-Challis National Forest represents this flawlessly. Rugged mountains give way to untamed rivers; granite peaks gaze over sapphire alpine lakes; whitewater rafters cascade through rapids; and each day’s quest can lead to a different trail in the epic Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness, which happens to be the largest contiguous wilderness area in the continental United States! Rugged and remote, this country offers millions of acres filled with breathtaking views from gravel roads, enough fish to stock your freezer all winter, and groves of cedar trees where you can set up your tent and peer out to the ocean of stars. At night listen to the coyotes call, the owls hoot, and the clink of cans as you toast to this recreational heaven. Idaho of Idaho, you are so much more than just a potato!

7 nights at Drinkers Of The Wind Farm

Beautiful site that sits in the back of a big open field. We loved how private and spacious it felt and our dog loved running around in the field. Super clean and well kept. There is a small airport close by and the planes can be loud, but it was infrequent enough and the space was so peaceful otherwise that it didn't bother us.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The area was peaceful and felt private. We saw plenty of wildlife including deer, fox, and elk. Brooke was very helpful and even let us know when we could spot elk in her field. The river was a favorite for both our dog and my husband who caught lots of fish. The site fit our 40' fifth wheel with no problems. A great spot that I would definitely come back to.

Great spot! The views were fantastic and it was very peaceful. Our hosts were super friendly and helpful- Eric gave us some pointers on places to explore near by that were gorgeous and really an added bonus to our trip. The site itself was level and easy to get in and out of. Plus! True to its name, we saw a moose right outside of the property. You cant beat that!

Sweet and simple. Beautiful sunset! Enjoyed to sounds of coyotes and sand hill cranes. Able to have a campfire in the grass pasture and porta-potti was clean! Those are my priorities! Unfortunately, the acreage is no longer a flower or vegetable source, but still the horses…..

This is such a beautiful peaceful spot. It is in a valley between all the mountains. We drove through the mountains on a gravel road, sat outside and saw the Milky Way. The owners are very accommodating and they are always out working on the upkeep of their little campground.

Easy to find and beautiful! We were greeted by a friendly host dog who we loved having around. We got a beautiful sunset too! Summertime evenings (like everywhere) bring mosquitoes, but with the right clothing and after dark they weren’t a problem.
