Welcome to Lava Ranch (formerly Hooper's Crossing)—a working horse ranch and farm-stay retreat tucked into the rolling, golden landscape of the Palouse, 60 miles from Pullman and a short scenic drive to Palouse Falls State Park.
Located in Hooper, WA, Lava Ranch blends authentic horsemanship, hands-on farm life, and low-key, nature-first accommodations: tent campsites, furnished glamping unit, a full-hookup RV site, and a cozy apartment for groups or families. Whether you’re a horseback rider, a photographer chasing light across wheat hills, a family looking for a meaningful outdoor escape, or a traveler after quiet country nights under the stars, Lava Ranch was designed to give guests real access to rural life with welcoming hospitality, starry nights and thoughtful amenities.
Lava Ranch sits on a working horse-training property surrounded by sweeping Palouse vistas, pastureland, and quiet lanes. The ranch is organized to separate guest spaces from core training areas for safety and privacy while preserving the feel of being “on the ranch.” You’ll find tent sites tucked into natural settings with fire rings and picnic tables, glamping units furnished with comfortable bedding and rustic décor, an RV hookup with full services, and a private apartment with kitchen facilities for families or longer stays.
Public spaces include a central campfire area, a small farmstead garden used for seasonal farm-to-table meals, and walking paths that lead past paddocks and open fields.
Lava Ranch is built around experiential stays. We invite guests to participate, observe, or simply enjoy the peaceful rural setting. Activities are flexible and offered at multiple levels—from casual farm chores to structured equestrian lessons.
Lava Ranch is a working farm with animals and equipment. Please observe posted signage and follow host instructions.
Owners and hosts Randy and Robyn Lavasseur, plus a small team including a farm manager and equestrian staff, run Lava Ranch. Randy brings years of horsemanship and ranch management experience and a commitment to sharing equestrian life respectfully with visitors. Hosts are available to answer questions, lead activities, and ensure safety and a warm, personalized guest experience.

This was the perfect pit stop on our way home! BEAUTIFUL surroundings, we got to see the horses, pigs, sheep, chickens. My kids played volleyball and soccer and we stayed up late playing some of the games that are in the trailer.

I loved staying in the Airstream on Ryan's farm! It really is an oasis! After a stormy wet day, the sun came out for sunset and it turned out to be a gorgeous evening. I had so much fun watching and petting the animals and the next day I enjoyed a sunny morning on the beautiful deck overlooking the farm.

The Farm Oasis was truly an amazing spot for my partner and I to meet my parents to do Walla Walla wine tasting. We enjoyed the comforts of the airstream while being close to many wineries and vineyards. Highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to Sweet Dreams in the Garden
We had a magical time at Brittany's. It was quaint and refined and quirky and fun. Good to talk with the manager whose mother the garden center is named after. Loved the ducks. And the town center checked all the boxes. Amazing wine-bar, restaurant and shops.

Everything was thought through and set up really well. Loved not having to set up and tear down our tent. Really appreciated having water and toilet at each site. The fire pit was great and the sleeping pad was actually really comfortable especially for tent camping. Easy check in and hospitable hosts.

Fantastic place! We were interrupted pretty early by a lawn mower when we were hoping to sleep in on our last day, but other than that the place was really nice and quiet and had everything we need.

Had such a great experience staying in the Airstream trailer! A lovely outdoor porch to lounge on and enjoy the farm, with beautiful sunsets every night. Everything was clean, it was a well-stocked kitchen set-up, and the bed was very comfortable.

We had a lot of fun getting the RV experience without having to drive the RV to Walla Walla. There is a gas stove, fridge and freezer, air conditioning, bathroom and shower, everything that you need. It was more spacious than we anticipated inside. We usually go camping in the summer long weekends, and being on a farm in an RV was a new experience we got to check off our list. We did not realize until our last day, but there is WiFi available. I liked being disconnected/slow reception, so I didn't check until that last day, but that is also there.
The farm is beautiful with so many different animals. We were not able to, but I would recommend getting a tour of the land. We saw so many animals just sitting outside and it was so cool to see. If we ever make it back to Walla Walla, we will stay here again!

Weekend Trip to Sweet Dreams in the Garden
Would definitely recommend to anyone! There are two little ducks that roam the grounds that are so cute and the greenhouses are lovely. Being among all the plants is very peaceful. The camper is sectioned off and private and there’s a fire-pit, a grille, and a blackstone. Definitely a luxury Hipcamp stay with very friendly hosts.

Lovely stay!!! Brittany and Doug were both so welcoming and kind and showed me around the property. The nursery is sweet and open to guests for wandering, and the location is right in town - it was nice to go for a little walk and tour the quaint area. I stayed on the last night of a road trip and I was thrilled to have a place to organize and regroup as well as a hot shower and a grill to make dinner on. Will definitely stay again! My only regret is not picking up any plants from the nursery
