McGovern Residence

3 sites · RVs, Tents28 acres · Pomeroy, WA
The McGovern Residence is a magical little world we've created at the base of the Blue Mountains. We're about an hour South of Palouse Falls, an hour East of Walla Walla wine country, and about an hour West of Lewiston/Clarkston. The property consists of 28 acres on the Tucannon River with mature Ponderosa Pines, wildflowers, curated gardens, hiking trails, incredible valley views, and direct access to 1.4 million acres of public land. Multiple stocked lakes are accessible for fishing just a few miles up the road. Close to the river, The Flat can accommodate up to 2 tents and 4 people. The main campsite includes a hammock, picnic table, fire ring with benches, and parking for up to 2 cars. Immediately off the parking area is a secondary site with another picnic table and fire ring for those camping directly out of their vehicle. Campers have a faucet for fresh potable water and an outhouse for 24/7 bathroom needs. A short path from either campsite leads to a small river clearing for cooling off and lazy afternoons by the water. The Flat is the only site that we offer and we keep the group size low to ensure a peaceful and relaxing experience for everyone. We allow tents, cars, and smaller camper vans, but unfortunately cannot accommodate trailers or RV's. The main property is a pocket of green with mature cottonwood, ponderosa pines, choke cherry and elder scrub. Our property borders the Wooten Wildlife area which leads into the Umatilla National Forest - so that's 1.4 million acres of public lands directly to our South. Just down the road are some really great hiking trails and access points to the Wenaha-Tucannon Wilderness, or if you prefer to stay close, our property gains 1000' from river to property line. An afternoon trek to the top is challenging but provides a spectacular panoramic view of the Tucannon River valley. Pack some beer and some snacks and hang out for a wicked sunset. We're working hard on our hiking trail - currently it's 3/4 mile (1.5 mile round trip), and growing in length by the week. During your stay you'll probably see some wild turkey, quail, and some white tailed or mule deer. The area is known to have cougars (we run into them occasionally) bighorn sheep, rattlesnake, black bears, bobcats, and even the occasional moose! There's no shortage of wildlife in the area, and we enjoy when they visit us. Be on the lookout at dusk for the nightly bat show! We also have a flock of chickens that free-range during the day, so don't be surprised to get a visitor or two poking around for scraps. Our property is rural, but not isolated. Depending on where you stake your tent you might see some neighbors, but we can direct you to the right spot if you want to avoid it. The towns of Dayton and Pomeroy are both about 20 minutes away. Both have their own charm and offer a grocery store, a couple bars, gas, and supplies. There's an RV park and general store about a mile up the road if you need some quick essentials or a few gallons of gas. At the center of the property is a log cabin we're slowly renovating. We live here full time so when we're home we're out and about working on projects or clearing brush. You'll see us wandering, so interact with us as much as you want or just do your thing. This is our home and we like to host, but it's not necessary. On that note, this is not a 'campground'. We have a beautiful property with a campsite and like to share it! We hope you enjoy yourself while also respecting our home :)

The Schierman family farmed 550 acres of their own land and up to 1750 acres total in the beginning of the new century. Grandpa had the pond dug while Tom was in college with a huge clamshell draught. Tom planted thousands of trees when he moved home from college to farm. James and Jon are continuing the legacy of landscaping.

3 sites · RVs, Tents21 acres · Prescott, WA
Camping with Rizzy the Camel and friends allows guests to experience a unique stay on a private hobby ranch. Wake up and interact with Rizzy the Camel (yes a real dromedary camel), horses, miniature donkeys, Nigerian dwarf goats, Kune Kune pigs, emu’s, peacocks, llama, a variety of birds and a couple of long horn cows. Offering a very peaceful property to reconnect with nature or just relax and catch the sunrise of sunsets. Located 17 miles from downtown Walla Walla, we are a central location to enjoy other activities in our area. Explore the “wine scene” of the award winning wine producers of this region, and enjoy the nationally recognized and diversified culinary tastes that are available. From theaters and museums to biking, hiking, golf, concerts and spa time, Walla Walla offers a little bit of everything wonderful. The Blue Mountains are just east of us, making it a prime destination for winter sports such as snowboarding, skiing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling and more. We’re only 40 miles for an exciting day of skiing at Bluewood Ski Resort, or a beautiful drive through the mountains any time of the year. Palouse Falls State Park is a great 34 mile drive past the Snake River. The Palouse River runs through a seemingly invisible gorge to reveal the 178 foot Palouse Falls. From there, the water current moves swiftly through a winding gorge of columnar basalt, to its southern end at the Snake River. We’re also about 26 miles from the Snake River, and 36 miles to Columbia River if the water is where you would enjoy your day. If getting away from the fast pace of life and being surrounded by God’s beautiful views in the country but still close enough to desired amenities then Camping with Rizzy the Camel and friends is your place. Full Hook-ups with 30 and 50 amp service. Only 2 sites available.
