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.

We pulled our 19ft camper right next to the Gorge Edge…..with the Sanke River below. UNBELIVABLE VIEWS.. It is all self contained but well worth it. Brett came out to join us after dinner, even gave up some peaches off his tree. LOVE LOVE LOVE this Hipcamp site……5+stars, 100% awesome Review……thank you Brett!!!!

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.

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!

Very nice, only complaint from my friends were bugs, but to be expected when there’s land and they have horses. Put out a citronella candle and your good!

Weekend Trip to Country Camping close to town

This was a great place for a quick overnight as we roadtripped through the Twin Falls area. The offering of a bathroom and water was really nice. The space was flat for a tent. We enjoyed playing with one of the cats, who was very friendly. The goats were fun, and quiet at night. For directions, using the address via copy/past was correct in Google Maps but for some reason the loaded link through Hip Camp took as a way that ended at a different farm (could have been user error on our part!)
