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!

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!

Weekend Trip to Kraay's Market & Garden

I arrived after dark and left just after sunrise in the morning, but I was there long enough to see that Larry’s ranch is beautiful and peaceful. Larry was very kind and accommodating. I would definitely come back next time I’m in the area!

The views are breathtaking with amazing sunrise/sunset. The grounds are well maintained and the porta potty was clean. Fire pit and bench/love seats were available on site, but I'd bring a foldable table, and chairs if more than 2 people. A bit of background noise from the main streets in the valley, but that quiets down at night. Expect some stock and wildlife noise throughout. We find out added to the charm, but if you are not comfortable hearing coyotes howl at night, and cows mooing in the morning, I'd bring a pair of earplugs. As others have noted, the "fruit/vegetable" garden was uncultivated during our stay, but the horses were still there across the road and trees from the camping space

Weekend Trip to Moose Crossing RV Park

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.

Great place to stay. We were there in the winter, so it was less open than would normally be the case in the summer, but a nice place to stay with nice peeps. We will be back when traveling that way.
