Our farm is located in the center of the Yakima Valley in Southeastern Washington State. The physical address is 3510 Scoon Road Sunnyside, Washington. The Valley is known as the fruit bowl of the nation. The site is located on a farm that has been in production on the Roza slope 4 miles north of Sunnyside since 1945. Surrounded by fields of peppermint, Concord grapes, and a variety of crops within walking distance it is a fertile paradise. The Yakima Valley has thousands of acres of wine grapes, hops, apples, cherries, pears, peaches, and vegetables. Wineries are located up and down the Valley and people drive 100s of miles to do wine tours. Several microbreweries are also accessible and within 50 miles to the west you’ll be in premier hiking in the Cascades.Site is located just east of Scoon Rd 4 miles north of Sunnyside. Campers can park an RV or camp within a secure area with a fence on the west north and east. There is a farm Rd you can walk for a half mile from the site. The site is fairly flat and bicycling can be an activity to consider on nearby county roads or a bike path is located 5 miles south. If you have a mountain bike you could also ride the farm road. Local attractions include wineries in every town. Prosser 15 miles Southeast has probably 20 or more wineries to visit.

Quiet Country

7 m Class B

Rick made a nice RV spot, nice level gravel and a little cement pad with a picnic table on top. Would be a bit tricky to pull in (or back in) for a large trailer or RV but worked well for us. If certain country smells bother you, this spot may not be right for you, cows right across the street.

Comfortable stay

7 m Class C

Very comfortable stay. Blonde as well manicured picnic table was a nice touch. Rick was great at communicating and very quick to respond. Would definitely stay again when in the area. Location is close to a couple of wine, tasting rooms and a brewery. Grocery store about 7 mins away.

Rick was welcoming and helpful. There was a bit of a snafu with the water and I did not see his message to me that we needed to come with a full tank. He directed us to a water source on the property and all was good. It is a bit of back /forth if you have a bigger rig as it is a bit of a tight turn due to location if a tree. also, could've been our skill level. 😁. Nice gravel pad, beautiful lawn area and shade all in all it was a beautiful spot.

Good hookup and easy to find.

Great stopover! We stayed here on our way to British Columbia. Very clean campground and easy to find! Too bad we didn't arrive early to take advantage of the neighboring orchards and wineries. The road was a tad louder than we expected though.

Private heaven overlooking vineyard

10 m fifth wheel

Rick has quite the view overlooking vineyards. The space is very nice with grass and trees too. Being the only RV spot it was nice and private. Its in a gated area you can close if you want to make a run to town. It was the perfect place! Would definitely stay here again or recommend it.

Will stay again

We absolutely loved staying at Ricks! The site was very well kept and so peaceful and relaxing. The views were beautiful! His wife rode down on her bike to pick some vegetables out of their garden and told us to help ourselves to the raspberries.. the roads on the way were very scenic. We will definitely stay here again and very highly recommend it.

We stayed 4 nights and it was a great stay. We have a 36 ft 5th wheel and it fit very nicely and was fairly easy to get in position. There was plenty of room next to it for the truck to park unhooked and there was extra parking for a couple other vehicles for our visitors. We will absolutely be back. The water had slightly off taste to it. It was safe to drink but You might want to bring your own drinking water if you're picky.

Peaceful and private

13 m fifth wheel · With pets

We will definitely be back! This was a great place to spend a long quiet weekend. It has beautiful views of the surrounding grape, corn, and peppermint fields. It was very private with just a couple houses within view but out of earshot. The site is very well maintained. The grass was wonderful for the kids and dogs to play and lay around on. There are some nice trees that provide great shade. The fence between the camping area and the road kept the kids and dogs safe. Things to note: - The hook-ups are on the wrong side so bring long enough hook-ups. - The fire pit is just outside the camping/grass area so you have to haul chairs back and forth. It worked well enough for us in this spot to have an evening fire for S'mores but it's something to note if you are relying on it to cook.

Peaceful place

8 m travel trailer · Group trip

Our stay at Rick’s was AMAZING!!! We absolutely loved the place. It was calming to be in the midst of beautifully maintained farm fields. It was near a road, but there were very few vehicle that travelled the road. Very quiet night. Rick was a wonderful host. Greeted with a brief history of the area and farm. Our first experience with Hipcamp, and a wonderful one. We will definitely stay at Rick’s again.

Nicest hipcamp site I’ve ever been to. 👍 30A and 50A electrical, pressure-regulated fresh water, and tidy black water hook up available. Remember to pull in forward in order to have the utilities on the correct side of the trailer.

2nd stay @ Rick’s exercise farm and like the first, didn’t disappoint. Great jump-off spot for wine tasting weekend, centrally located to take advantage of so many vineyards. Super clean and quiet, with stunning views.

Sweet farm spot

7 m travel trailer · With pets

We had a great night stay. Lots of great space for the dogs to run and play. Gracious hosts. Would definitely stay again. Beautiful view of Mt. Adams with clear skies. FHU’s were great but on opposite side of what we were expecting so bring longer hoses or flip your rig around. Great clean spot!

Rick and his wife Dion (sp?) are very nice people and they have set up a private park-like area for their Hipcamp.

Rick’s site was clean and well kept, almost a park like setting on an 80 acre farm. We were delighted by the unobstructed view of a nearly full moon. Rick was a gracious and welcoming host. Highly recommend this spot.

Rick was a wonderful and responsive host. The site was one of the best designed sites I had been to. If you would like to see what it’s like to be on a working farm in Central Washington, this is the spot’

We enjoyed our long weekend getaway and stay at Rick's site in Sunnyside. It was great meeting Rick and Deon and learning about the history of the farm and surrounding area. A perfect place to unwind and take in the scenery!

RV camping on Rick’s land was the perfect way to decompress from a busy day of traveling! He really takes care of his site. There are electric/water hookups, a picnic table, trash can, and beautiful scenery of the countryside. It was the whole package! We have a very timid dog who is scared of unfamiliar places especially if they’re loud, but she had no issues here! It was really quiet (except for when cars would pass by on the road which is to be expected). I would highly recommend!

FHU site with great vies

9 m travel trailer

We really enjoyed meeting and talking with Rick and his wife. They are great people. We loved the camping site. It was a secured full hook up site with a concrete patio and a picnic table. The site was gravel with a grass area and several trees. On the same property was a Concord grape vineyard and two peppermint fields. From the property you can see Mount Adams. We really enjoyed our stay.
