Rimrock Meadows

1 Review Add Review

Rimrock Meadows sits in the arid landscape near Ephrata, where the dry climate and sparse tree cover define the camping experience. The campground centers around a well-maintained clubhouse area that includes an Olympic-size swimming pool with a waterfall feature set against basalt cliffs, along with showers and barbecue facilities.

The property accommodates big rigs and provides both RV sites and tent camping areas arranged around the central amenities. An on-site dump station serves departing RVers. Beyond the developed camping zones, miles of hiking and biking trails extend into the surrounding terrain, where campers report wildlife sightings and access to waterfalls with views over Moses Coulee. The campground works best for those comfortable with hot, dry conditions who appreciate outdoor recreation opportunities.

A Tiny Oasis in the Middle of Nowhere

Admittedly, only a certain type of person may like this place. It is in an arid region, so can be dry and hot with few trees. However, the clubhouse area is spotless, with quite a few trees, a beautifully kept Olympic size swimming pool (with a waterfall in the basalt cliff behind it), lush green grass, and various other amenities (showers, BBQ area, etc). This is encircled by both the RV area and the tent camping area. There is an RV dump station on your way out of the park. If you venture out from the clubhouse area, there are miles of trails to hike and bike, with abundant wild life. There are also waterfalls and stunning views of Moses Coulee that one can find. My wife and I relax at our Rimrock property frequently in the spring, summer and fall... It may take a certain person, but I, for one, love it!
