The Schierman family farmed 550 acres of their own land and up to 1750 acres total in the beginning of the new century.

James and Jon are continuing the legacy of landscaping.

Goose Creek RV Park & Cabin Rentals

3 sites · Lodging7 acres · Wilbur, WA
Established in 1974 by the Bell Family it had been Bell RV Park until our purchase of the park in 2017.  With new owners and new upgrades to the park we felt it fitting to rename the park after the creek that flows to the north of the property, hence Goose Creek RV Park & Campground. Nestled in the rolling hills of wheat country, Goose Creek RV Park takes pride in its 5 acres of mature trees and landscape patio sites and cozy cabin rentals. Located on the east side in the town of Wilbur and walking distance to shopping and eateries. Swimming, golfing and pickle ball courts are all just minutes away. Come relax and unwind you will experience quite starry nights and wildlife that roams the park. Other attractions for summertime fun are Lake Roosevelt and Grand Coulee Dam, hiking and kayaking ion and around other smaller lakes in the area! Spokane International Airport and rental cars just an hour away. Hope to see you here in 2022!
