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.
