The property, aptly named the Oasis years ago, is 34-acres of lawns, shade trees, ponds, and natural landscaping over 50 years in the making. The landscaping was started by Tom who still lives in the farmhouse. The Schierman family has owned this property for four generations. The Oasis is located in the rolling hills of the Palouse in eastern Washington State. The newly created Yonder Hills Disc Golf Course is a full 18 and 9-basket short course with long and short pads for almost every basket. A mix of open lawn, wooded fairways, water hazards, and elevation changes await. Day, overnight or weekly reservations must be made to enjoy this private course. The disc golf course is under construction with some layout changes and getting ready for paver tees instead of rubber. It's playable but it isn't perfect yet. We had to shift focus to the barn restoration grant to meet the June 2026 deadline, so fair warning, there is likely to be some construction ongoing. This is a perfect basecamp to explore the Palouse countryside. Relax in the shade. Catch up on creativity. Cook around the fire. Disc golf anytime. Guests may bring their own private fire pits. Firewood is provided for the community fire pit. Yonder Hills can be reserved for larger group camps and private camping events. There is plenty of room for several vehicles and tailgate camping. Please contact us to request a reservation for a reunion, wedding, private party, disc golf tournament, or concert. There are no dedicated electrical hookups, sewage hookups, or potable water available at this time. Bottled or bulk water is available in in St. John five miles away. Electrical outlets can be used to charge small devices. We are constantly upgrading the property, so look forward to better amenities as we grow. St. John has a bar/restaurant, grocery store, hardware stores, gas station, 2 hotel rooms, library, coffee and gift shops as well as a very nice 9-hole traditional golf course. There are numerous small towns, unique lakes, rivers/creeks, backroads, viewpoints, and historic stops around the Palouse region as well as amazing photography year round. Come for the abundant stars, the fall colors and brisk air, to socialize with other travelers, or to find the peace of the Palouse country.

# Lawn Camping + Disc Golf | Yonder Hills Oasis **Pitch your tent. Play another round. Watch the sunset over the Palouse.** Enjoy a relaxed tent-camping stay on our private 34-acre property near St. John, Washington. Yonder Hills Oasis is a family farmstead rooted in the Palouse since 1916, now being cared for and developed as a place for agriculture, conservation, recreation, and time outdoors. Our lawn camping area offers an open, rustic setting for campers who want room to set up a tent, spend time outside, and enjoy unlimited disc golf without the crowds of a busy campground. ### Disc Golf Is Included Explore our 18-basket main course, featuring short and long tees on nearly every hole, rolling terrain, and natural challenges. A developing 9-basket wooded course offers even more to explore as it becomes available. Whether you're visiting for a serious round with friends or simply want to throw a few discs after setting up camp, the courses are yours to enjoy during your stay. A few rental disc sets are available. ### What to Expect This is simple lawn camping on a private rural property, not a full-service campground. * Bring your own tent, sleeping gear, and camping supplies. * No individual electrical or water hookups. * Bring your own drinking water; the well water is not potable. * A community firepit is available when conditions and local restrictions allow. * A porta-potty is available near the disc golf and weekly-stay parking area. The property is still being improved, so some areas may have ongoing maintenance or restoration work. Please stay within designated recreation areas and respect posted boundaries. ### Help Us Care for the Land Your visit helps support the ongoing maintenance and restoration of Yonder Hills. We ask guests to pack out their waste, keep noise reasonable, follow fire restrictions, and respect wildlife, waterways, plants, and areas under development. We welcome visitors who appreciate a rustic setting and understand that Yonder Hills is a living family property, not a polished resort. **Set up camp, enjoy the courses, and experience a little piece of the Palouse.**

I'm not sure James (or his father) are cut out for this type of venture. When we arrived he was not there, but he did give vague directions to where he wanted us. We didn't quite understand where he wanted us so we parked ourselves. When he finally showed up (about an hour later) he was put off that we did that. Anyway, blah blah blah. Won't go and you shouldn't either.

My husband and I went with a group of friends over the Memorial Day weekend and James and his Dad from the very beginning were so kind. James responded fast to his messages and greeted us when we got there to tell us where to go. They helped us and gave us good places to visit in the area. The disc golf course was awesome and had amazing views and so peaceful! I highly recommend this site to others!! It will be the best place to go and get away!

The land is gorgeous and feels very secluded. Campsites are spaced apart so that it doesn’t feel crowded at all. We will definitely be coming back here in the future. The communication from James was wonderful and he was extremely friendly and helpful with any questions we had.

The land is beautiful and peaceful. The views are vast. Sunset and early morning were particularly spectacular. The disc golf course was also beautiful and a ton of fun! James, and his dad Tom, are kind, helpful and friendly. A great place to camp!

James was a great host. Quiet setting in the country. We just car camped and spent only are sleeping hours at the site. Is about 30 minutes to Colfax and Steptoe Butte. If you're looking for a campground with bathroom or water this is not the place. They do have a portable potty. But for what we needed, it was great.

Highly recommended. We had a great time and had everything we needed for a few nights here as a base camp while we explored the Palouse. The property is gorgeous. I’ll have to work on my disc golf skills and come back to play the course.

Schierman Springs Palouse View
If you are looking for peace and quiet...Schierman Springs is exactly the place for you! Beautiful, serene and well kept. A pond, games, birds, it was all just so nice. James (host) was very friendly, greeting us with a great smile and lots of info about the property. We will be going back - it was hard to return to traffic, noise, and, well, real life. Thank you James! RL

Schierman Springs Palouse View
This place is an amazing place to camp! Beautiful scenery and extremely private! We experienced some of the best hospitality we have ever come across anywhere! Tom & James, owners & our hosts, were friendly, personable, accommodating, and went above & beyond to make sure we were having a great time and that we had anything we needed. There was even a bowl of fresh vegetables (from Tom's) garden, a giant cooler of fresh spring water, and fresh flowers waiting at our camping spot when we got there. Overall, this place is wonderful. Thank You! We will definitely be back!
