Paulette was an incredible host, introducing us to kittens on the farm that my daughter adored, allowing us to pick some produce, and providing light to set-up the tent as we checked in late. This spot comes highly recommended for RV and tent campers, and especially stands out as a fun place to camp with young children.

This is such a special site! Paulette was incredibly welcoming, and had lots to share. The site is well away from everything with plenty of space for my group and the dogs. The lookout is adorable. The views, the sun set/rise, and the night sky were spectacular. 100% would recommend to anybody!

Weekend Trip to Eagle Rock Resort Campground

My husband and I booked this place as a very last minute adventure to get out of town. Very solid location to be able to explore all the beautiful nature around the area! Only took about 15 minutes to get into Yakima. The campsites were spaced out nicely, a little more open than some but still felt private enough. The running water and restrooms were a very nice amenity to have, as well as the cute little store and restaurant. Waking up to the mountain views in the distance was a very nice bonus. The river was beautiful, and the night star viewing was great as well. Overall would recommend to anyone looking to go explore the area and just enjoy being outside.

It was a beautiful Ranch! Gorgeous views. Paulette was very accommodating. Unfortunately for us though, the wind was high and we were tent camping so the weather wasn't great. Definitely recommend if you have a comfy place to sleep. Pricing is a bit high in our opinion. But if you can afford it, definitely go! Gorgeous place, fun to see the animals. Especially the peacock 🦚 😄

Extraordinary views and delicious produce! This was a really special place to camp, enjoy the night sky and the expanse of the Washington landscape. Paulette was an amazing host and shared much about the ranch and its workings on the farm tour. Plus amazing pickles and meat from the farm store!
