Welcome to Crazy Cow Farm Adventure, where you can meet baby calves, stay in a vintage trailer, enjoy family-friendly activities, and camp beneath Idaho's star-filled skies.
Located in the historic farming community of Samaria, Idaho, just 8 miles southwest of Malad City, Crazy Cow Farm Adventure offers a unique farm-stay experience for families, couples, road-trippers, and anyone looking to slow down and enjoy country life.
Choose from our charming vintage trailers, RV sites, or tent camping areas and experience life on a real working farm that has been in our family since Samaria was first settled in the late 1800s. Depending on the season, you may see calves and lambs being fed, hay being harvested, fields being irrigated, and the daily activities that make farm life special.
Looking for fun? Guests can add exciting farm activities to their stay, including our hay chopper wagon ball game, pedal cart track, and farmyard laser tag. These activities are fun for all ages and help create memories that last long after your trip is over.
Relax around the campfire, enjoy breathtaking sunsets, and take in some of Idaho's most beautiful night skies. Wake up to fresh country air, peaceful surroundings, and the sounds of life on the farm.
Guests are also welcome to visit the Malad Valley Heritage Square, located directly east of the farm. This remarkable collection of historic buildings and exhibits celebrates the area's pioneer heritage and is available to our guests free of charge and without reservations.
Be sure to visit The Blue Goose, our restored historic saloon turned country store, located just a few blocks away in Samaria.
Crazy Cow Farm Adventure is conveniently located near Lava Hot Springs, Downata Hot Springs, fishing reservoirs, hiking opportunities, and other outdoor recreation areas, making it a great base camp for exploring Southeast Idaho.
Recognized as one of Hipcamp's Best Hipcamps in Idaho, Crazy Cow Farm Adventure offers a unique blend of fun, relaxation, history, and authentic farm life. We look forward to welcoming you to the farm and helping you create memories you'll never forget.

Meadow Springs campground lies at the foot of the Elkhorn hills, on St. John’s bench in SE Idaho. Surrounded by open fields and accessible only by dirt road, this unique spot is located next to two small natural ponds, and as such, is a terrific spot for bird watching and golden sunsets. It is the site of an old homestead, and the surrounding land is still actively farmed, so you can look out over open fields of this year’s crop as you enjoy dinner and quiet evenings in the fresh air.Whether you come as a single family for an adventurous night outdoors, or as a group with one to several tents or RV’s, this site has room to accommodate and is far enough away to be remote, (no neighbors!) while still close enough to town and other attractions to be convenient.--10 minutes from downtown Malad (Picture a small Idaho town with no stoplight still, but easy-to-find grocery, drive-in, pizza place, hospital, bar, etc)--15 mins from Devils Creek Reservoir and Malad Summit trails--20 minutes from Downata Hot Springs--30 minutes from Lava Hot Springs--3 hours from Yellowstone and Jackson HoleLearn more about this land:Come escape and recharge in a private campground under the shade of giant poplars alive with birdsong and a sky full of stars you can actually see.
Located on the ancestral lands of the Shoshone-Bannock people, this campsite is nestled under a grove of poplars planted by the original homesteaders over 100 years ago. It features a Tipi, a newly built outhouse, two swings, a picnic table, fire-ring, cast-iron hand pump to access well water, plenty of flat ground for tents, RV's, and car parking, and most importantly, wide-open space in every direction. If you are looking for somewhere completely opposite of hectic city living, this is it.

My Grandfather owned this property for many years.
He dry farmed this land and raised nine children to be hardworking. I visited this property many times to work along side my father and grandfather. I remember horseback riding and building a shed for my grandfathers combine. I recently purchased this property from my grandparents and got to work building my tiny home that my new family lives in.

Gorgeous pine forested location with breathtaking views is just 7 miles from Main Street Lava Hot Springs. You get 2 privates cabins that can sleep 6 to 8 people in each cabin. Plenty of tent space to bring lager groups. Amazing fire pit, and a 1/2 mile hike loop around the property. Nice Bathroom, running water and power. So it’s glamping at its finest. Road is smooth enough for compact cars. This is not shared with any other renters.
This property is great for large youth groups or Family reunions.

Bristol is bordered by the Portneuf River to the North and Mt Moh to the South, offering river access and a host of trails. Fishing in the river is great, boasting rainbow, cut throat, brook and brown trout. There's also a few great swimming holes right below the property, including a 15 ft. waterfall. Guests may hike trails to the old mines, or be directed to a plethora of trails for biking nearby. The setting at Bristol is uniquely peaceful for the busy tourist town of Lava Hot Springs. Although still technically within city limits, the place offers an atmosphere of it's own, seemingly outside of time. Once a miners camp and stage coach stop along the Oregon Trail, we have worked hard to maintain the buildings and grounds. With an abundance of trees, (bonus if you can name all varieties) the main compound is well shaded through the hot summer months. Our single room, quaint cabins have a shared bathroom with showers and towels available. We are a minutes walk from the hot springs and downtown, so no need to fight for a parking spot!

Weekend Trip to Secret Canyon Ranch
My wife and I loved the yurt. I %100 recommend this place. I would also recommend bringing your own cookware and silverware. The place is already equipped. It just made cleaning up a lot easier for my wife and I.
It's so quiet, and there were some deer that we saw up the ridge. I recommend it for a quick weekend getaway for a technology detox.

I loved staying at the yurt! It was warm and cozy. It had the essentials and the best part was how quiet and peaceful it was tucked back against the surrounding hills. The perfect place for some solitude.

The property is absolutely beautiful. We rolled up just in time for an epic sunset. The yurt is cozy and warm, thanks to the propane fireplace and charming decor. Even the kitchen sink and outhouse are ingenious and adorable. The guidebook to the yurt was so cute and informative--our daughter enjoyed flipping through the handwritten and drawn pages. It's clear that a lot of love went into this space. We'd definitely stay here again!

2 nights at Crazy Cow Farm Adventures
The campers are adorable! Shayna has a knack for decorating and for making you feel welcome and "at home". The fridge was equipped with bottled water, oatmeal for breakfast, and the makings for s'mores over the fire. We had a blast riding the pedal cars to the "Blue Goose" penny-candy store. We stayed for 2 nights on our way from Salt Lake City to see Yellowstone, the Grand Tetons, and visit natural hot springs throughout Idaho. At the end of our trip, we needed to rest and pack up the camping gear for the flight home. On short notice, Shayna welcomed us, again, for 2 more nights. We were so happy to be there. When we drove in late at night we both exclaimed "we're home"! Everything was clean and cozy. The shower and toilets are a short distance from the campers. It was quiet, even when the goats got out, and so beautiful. We want our family and friends to experience Crazy Cow, and we would love to go back and spend a week to just rest and enjoy the scenery.

My son and I have camped in many places but this is now his favorite! Our hosts were exceptional, so kind and fun to talk to. I just adored Shayna’s camp and the love and effort she has put into it is so apparent. Best campsite for kids AND adults! There is so much to do. I fell in love with the animals and miss them already! We will definitely return. Already telling friends and family about this gem of a place! If you want animal fun, beautiful sunsets, stargazing, pedal carting, giant sandbox play, games, comfy campers with a/c or heating, and fascinating history all from the best hosts, this is your spot!

We absolutely loved staying here. We were delightfully surprised by all the things that were thought of from extra chairs and tables to mugs and kitchenware along with books and a puzzle! It has the cutest outhouse too! We so enjoyed watching the stars, listening to the birds and the solitude the yurt provided. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

We had such a great time at this yurt! Completely off-grid with zero neighbors – just pure peace and quiet. The design is really cool and unique, and you can see they put thought into all the little touches that make it special. Our whole family loved the setup and how different it felt from a regular hotel. Perfect spot to actually disconnect and relax together. Definitely coming back!

WOW!!
What a phenomenal stay my boys and I had! Shayna reached out to me before our trip to ensure we had the most comfortable trailer for our needs. She personally welcomed us to her charming farm. The place was beyond adorable, with an atmosphere filled with peace and tranquility. We got to interact with so many animals, including chickens, sheep, horses, calves, buffalo, and pigs. The sheep were sheared to perfection and looked like show sheep! Her friendly dogs visited us often, which we loved. And the puppies!!!! My boys were in heaven.
Shayna had so many personal touches to her farm, making it fun and inviting for everyone who stays there. We rented her specialty bikes and had a blast riding around the property. I truly felt like Shayna gave us a gift by opening her world to us. We all need a slice of Shayna's life every now and then, just to slow down and enjoy nature. Everything about the place was perfect and serene.
Thank you, Shayna, for creating such a beautiful space for others to enjoy!

Weekend Trip to Bristol Park Historic Cabins
I loved the whole vibe of the place. Cute little touches every where, like a pair of old ice skates hanging on a bannister. Breakfast was amazing, and so was the coffee. Rooms where small and cozy. Bathrooms were rustic, could use a little dusting from floor to ceiling, but clean towels and a great shower. Will definitely be back!!

This place was great. It worked great for our family reunion. Because of some older mobility issues we chose to.use the upper grassy area for most of our cooking and hanging out but the firepit was awesome in the evenings. It was nice to be a little rambunctious into the evening without worrying too much about neighbors... there were several times that stray 4 wheelers would come into the property which was a concern of mine with young kids with us. I lived having a private secluded place for our family reunion. There was some construction going on so a big trench we had to keep telling kids to stay out of and a big gravel pile kids played on.

The kids loved seeing all the animals at the farm especially the very friendly dogs and puppies, horse, pigs, goats, sheep, cows, bunnies and chickens. My son was excited to complete the star farmer program and get his badge and sticker. The playground and swings were also a hit. The host Shayna was very friendly and we would stay again if we were in the area. Thanks for a fun stay!
