Goat Barn Burger Half-pound local beef, aged cheddar, brioche
Loaded Nachos Jalapeños, queso, pickled onions, cilantro

Camping at Crazy Acres

No reservations needed for tent sites — just show up and claim your patch of Iowa. RV sites available with water and electric. Fire pit rings at every spot. The goats will say hi.

🌲

Shaded & Open Sites

Pick your vibe — tree-covered corners for morning shade, or open meadow spots for stargazing all night.

🚿

Clean Facilities

Piped water, restroom buildings, and hot showers. Because roughing it shouldn't mean skipping the basics.

🔥

Fire Rings & Picnic Tables

Every site comes with a stone fire ring and a sturdy picnic table. Bring your own firewood or grab some on-site.
