Weekend Trip to The Hay Farm

My husband and I are doing a cross country trip with our dog in an RV and this was a great first stop! Plenty of parking space and great practice for my husband driving the RV for the first time. The area was quiet and the walking path was perfect for our dog.

We stayed at Sheep Site #1 at Nest Well on Naches and had a wonderful experience. Leann was very welcoming and made us feel right at home. The campsite was well-maintained, clean, and easy to settle into. The on-site Wi-Fi was a huge bonus since there’s no cell service in the area, which helped us stay connected when needed. The location is peaceful and dog-friendly, with the river just steps away—perfect for cooling off on a hot summer day. While the highway is nearby, it didn’t take away from the overall tranquility of the site. All in all, this is a great spot to relax, enjoy nature, and still have the comforts you need. We’d definitely stay again!
