Horses Welcome with no extra charge (bring your own corral). Plenty of space to ride.
Come and enjoy the big sky and open spaces on our Central Washington homestead. From your campsite, you will be able to sit and enjoy the breathtaking sunsets and view of the Cascade Mountains to the West. At night you will only need to look up into the sky to clearly spot millions of stars. You will also be given farm fresh eggs to enjoy with a meal.
On our homestead, you will see chickens and goats. If in season, you can explore the garden. Enjoy the walking trail right on our property or ride your bikes. Kids will have plenty of room to run, play, and picnic. Children are also welcome to set up their own tent for a night of parent-free fun.
Make sure to check out all the extras we offer by clicking on a campsite for those details. From feeding and cuddling goats to star gazing with cocoa.
There is plenty of space if you bring your equestrian friends with you. Just bring your portable corral with you. :)
With a short drive, you will find seasonal hunting, fishing, biking, hiking (Beezley Hill) , lakes, golf, mini golf, water park, bowling, and a good selection of restaurants. There are also two Walmarts nearby for any of your needs.
A little farther and you will find natural pools at Potholes State Park, Soap Lake, Coulee Dam, and Lake Lenore Caves.
Interesting fact: Our homestead is located on the McConihe Flats. 1200 years ago the Sinkiuse Indians would meet on the McConihe Flats and trade. They would also collect things along the shore of the lake such, as duck eggs and reeds, which are still around today.
We are conveniently located between Moses Lake and Ephrata Washington. Only 12 minutes from either town where you can find Walmart, other stores, and resturants for all your needs.

Standard Oil Fuel Depot
4. Standard Oil Fuel Depot
29mi from Odessa · 1 site
Stay in a place where history fuels adventure! Once an early 1900s fuel depot, this rare landmark has been thoughtfully reimagined as a rustic campsite. Explore a relic of Americana by day, then gather by the fire under starry skies at night. More than a stopover, it’s a place where the past lingers in the air, and every guest becomes part of its story.

Lava Ranch (Hoopers Crossing)
5. Lava Ranch (Hoopers Crossing)
47mi from Odessa · 5 sites · Tents, Lodging
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. In Hooper, WA, Lava Ranch blends authentic horsemanship, hands-on farm life, and low-key, nature-first accommodations: tent campsites, furnished glamping units, 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 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, one RV hook-up 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.
Owner and hosts, Randy & Robyn Lavasseur, plus a small team including a farm manager/host 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.

They communicated with us very well, giving clear instructions on how to get there and what to expect. The land was beautiful and we were able to get a good nights rest, as we were just passing through! The out house was cool and clean. We would definitely stay there again!

Hauntingly serene and remote location in the basalt columned scablands of Eastern Washington on the unrestored portion of a family ranch in the Crab Creek bottoms. Interesting historic barns and structures with cool vintage retired machinery. It’s a new HipCamp and will likely get some improvements, like signage and some tidying of the immediate grounds and perhaps more detail in the listing. There’s only one hookup spot, so if it’s taken, you’ll be dry camping. But the host was amenable to getting some distance from the other guest while I was there. The price is very reasonable. The region has so few camping opportunities, I’m grateful they opened up this gem. BNSF trains run by a couple times an hour 200 yards away, but no crossings for miles, so no whistles.

At first it was a bit scary to be all alone in this dead end valley on that abandoned farm but i really settled in and spent a nice evening there. Great sunset!
