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!

All sites are back-in only—please plan accordingly. Utilities - $35/night covers water, power, trash, and access to a shared half-bath. - No generators allowed out of courtesy for all guests.

Really enjoyed our stay at Marni’s site! It had everything we needed for a comfortable overnight stop - potable water, a nice campfire area, and a safe, quiet spot before heading down to Lake Tahoe. The two pygmy goats were adorable, and Tonks the kitty totally stole the show - she’s so friendly and social, and made the whole experience extra fun (and hilarious). Marni was an awesome host - super chill, welcoming, and attentive. Would definitely stay again!

1 night at Kraay's Market & Garden

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 Country Camping close to town

This spot was easy to get to and instructions were spot on. Communication was good. If you are looking for something more remote this isn’t your place, but I was on a cross country trip home and it was a great place to crash.

Weekend Trip to Snake River Canyon Views

If you find yourself near Twin Falls and you want to find some solitude and sit cloae to the edge and stare out at an expansive canyon with the light playing on waterfalls at sunrise and sunset, then this is your place! Way better than being tucked in between 2 RV’s at an RV Park!

1 night at The Mendoza Ranchette

We enjoyed staying in our camper van. The hookups were convenient, the shared bathroom was perfect, and the fruit trees were a hit with my wife. We also enjoyed a beautiful sunset shortly after arriving.

2 nights at Snake River Canyon Views

We loved camping on Brett's land!! Very peaceful site with fantastic views!!! Was nice to be away from a crowded camping site. He also responded quickly when tried reaching him with a question about his location. Would definitely recommend staying here!

Group trip

1 night at The Mendoza Ranchette

We made a late reservation through Hipcamp. I messaged Arte and Alexandra and they were quick to respond. They answered all my many questions promptly. We tent camped in their driveway while 2 other rv campers were close by on the same property. The farming next to the property was very loud the next morning…early. I had no problem with the owners or property. I felt safe and comfortable. They have a small orchard on the property with the best green apples!! I would camp there again.
