Camping with Rizzy the Camel and friends allows guests to experience a unique stay on a private hobby ranch. Wake up and interact with Rizzy the Camel (yes a real dromedary camel), horses, miniature donkeys, Nigerian dwarf goats, Kune Kune pigs, emu’s, peacocks, llama, a variety of birds and a couple of long horn cows. Offering a very peaceful property to reconnect with nature or just relax and catch the sunrise of sunsets. Located 17 miles from downtown Walla Walla, we are a central location to enjoy other activities in our area. Explore the “wine scene” of the award winning wine producers of this region, and enjoy the nationally recognized and diversified culinary tastes that are available. From theaters and museums to biking, hiking, golf, concerts and spa time, Walla Walla offers a little bit of everything wonderful. The Blue Mountains are just east of us, making it a prime destination for winter sports such as snowboarding, skiing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling and more. We’re only 40 miles for an exciting day of skiing at Bluewood Ski Resort, or a beautiful drive through the mountains any time of the year. Palouse Falls State Park is a great 34 mile drive past the Snake River. The Palouse River runs through a seemingly invisible gorge to reveal the 178 foot Palouse Falls.

We’re also about 26 miles from the Snake River, and 36 miles to Columbia River if the water is where you would enjoy your day. If getting away from the fast pace of life and being surrounded by God’s beautiful views in the country but still close enough to desired amenities then Camping with Rizzy the Camel and friends is your place.

The best camping near Palouse Falls State Park guide

Overview

About

The bird’s-eye view of the white-and-blue spray of surging Palouse Falls down the black of the basalt canyon makes this park a must-see. Formed during the Ice Age floods over 10,000 years ago (this is a noted stop on the Ice Age Floods National Geologic Trail), there are numerous interpretive signs that speak to the area’s dramatic geologic history, as well as a short hike to the top of a nearby hill for another perspective. Amateur photographers should make this one an overnight stay to capture the glow of the falls at dawn and dusk. With only 11 tent campsites, Palouse Falls Campground provides a front-row seat for capturing the beauty of the falls in early morning light or at sunset.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  1. All campsites are available on a first-come, first-served basis, and fill up quickly on weekends and holidays.
  2. The campground features only 11 tent-only campsites, each of which can accommodate two tents and up to four people. Vehicle lengths are limited to up to 20 feet.
  3. Campsite fees are payable by cash or check only, and additional vehicle fees apply.

When to go

Visit in spring or early summer to see the surrounding shrub-steppe plateau covered in vibrant green new growth and to see water flow over the falls, thanks to early-season glacial melt. Birdwatchers during this time of year should also keep an eye out for white-throated swifts, yellow warblers, and horned larks. Birds of prey abound with peregrine falcons nesting in the cliffs and golden eagles hunting around the falls.

Know before you go

  1. The waterfall is viewable from the parking lot, while a short, third-of-a-mile trail veers through nearby grassland. 
  2. Stay on designated trails in the park, as those that are not can be unsafe and sometimes veer onto private property.
  3. One campsite at Palouse Falls Campground is ADA accessible.
  4. Watch for rattlesnakes, frequently spotted in the park. 
  5. Temperatures can soar in the summer months, and water is sometimes unavailable at the campground, so it’s best to pack your own.
  6. Visit Walla Walla Shaved Ice (open Friday through Sunday, April through October) for a wide variety of Hawaiian shaved ice flavors, as well as other snacks and beverages.
