Kraay's Market & Garden

4 sites · RVs, Tents16 acres · Bellevue, ID
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's Best Kept Secret!

3 sites · RVs2 acres · Mackay, ID
One of Idaho's most iconic peaks, often compared to the Matterhorn, will transfix you in a picture-perfect view from this campsite. On a clear night, its rosy glow is the only thing you will see just before darkness. As the night darkens further you'll be dazzled by the brightest stars against the darkest of dark skies you will ever experience. Then you'll fall asleep to the peaceful sounds of the Lost River gliding by. In the early morning be on the lookout for the resident moose and her calf (Watch, but don't approach!!) or any of the many deer that ramble by. Then drop a fishing line into the river, just a few steps away, and catch yourself a trout or two for your breakfast. After breakfast, get out your binoculars, cameras, and maps (you did bring them, didn't you?) and choose your day's adventure, whether it be a challenging hike up a mountain trail, a leisurely stroll to a delightful waterfall, a 20-mile trip to world-famous Sun Valley via the stunning Trail Creek Summit, or exploring the largest designated wilderness in the lower 48 states. which is, literally, just on the other side of the fence! The road you enter the property from will also get you 20 miles deep into that wilderness along a broad river valley where you may see elk, moose, wolves, coyotes, foxes, beavers, deer, antelope, mountain goats, big horn sheep, black bears, and much more all thriving in natural abundance. Mountain lions are absent in this area, fortunately, but can be found in narrow, steep-sided canyons in other drainages nearby, if you dare.

Learn more about this land: Pull onto the property and find your favorite spot to pitch a tent or park the RV. Watch out for water, flooding, dry grass, snow and wind! The views are gorgeous, the wildlife is active, and the property is accessible but quiet! 360 degree views of mountains, prairie and the creek right on the property. Gentle winds keep the bugs away during the summer, but can cause blizzard conditions during the winter and fire hazards during the summer/fall. Be advised!

Silver Oaks Farm

5 sites · RVs3 acres · Carey, ID
We are a 3.25 acre small-scale dairy farm conveniently located right on main street in the quaint little community of Carey Idaho. We almost always have baby animals here on the farm and they love getting lots of attention and having someone to play with. We have a lovely shady picnic area down by the tree-lined canal. We are within minutes of Silver Creek world class fishing, Craters of the Moon National Monument, great hiking, and other outdoor recreation.
