Some older automobile GPS navigation systems are incorrect in their routing to Cameo Heights Mansion. Sometimes they will route you onto “North Shore Road” or onto “Dodd Road”. If you see either of these roads in your routing, abandon your GPS navigation. In the case of Dodd Road, you might eventually arrive at the Mansion but it will be a long journey. In the case of “North Shore Road,” the same could be said, provided you are using a hand cart to make part of the journey.
So what do you do if either of these routings instructions takes place?
Use your cell phone. These have all the latest updates. If no cell phone is available and you are on an automotive GPS, then here are simple instructions: When coming from the West, IGNORE the GPS prompting to turn onto Dodd Road or later onto North Shore Road. Rather continue straight forward until arriving at Wallula Junction. Continue by turning Left onto HWY 12 towards Walla Walla. 4.5 miles later, turn Left onto Oasis Road.
Oasis Road is 1.2 miles of part pavement and part gravel and is a wide well constructed road that for most people should provide no obstacle.

Where is US 12?
US 12 is the US East/West Route that runs from Aberdeen Washington to Detroit Michigan. Coming from the West side of Washington, it runs concurrently with I-82 from Yakima to West of Richland where, at exit 102, it proceeds concurrently with I-182 around the Tri-Cities to Pasco. I-182 ends in Pasco and U.S. 12 intersects US 395. Hwy 12 continues South Easterly through Wallula where it interests US 730. US 12 continues Easterly to Walla Walla.
If you are approaching from the East, US 12 is the highway connecting Lewiston to Walla Walla and then the Tri-Cities.
While traveling along US 12, watch the mile markers. Approximately 4 miles East of Wallula junction is mile marker 312 (or coming from the East, about 8 miles West of Touchet is mile marker 213.) Exit halfway between mile marker 312 and 313 midway between Pasco and Walla Walla by making a North turn off Highway 12 onto Oasis Road (private road) and continue traveling approximately 1.2 miles. (If you are approaching the exit from the West, it will be a left-hand turn against opposite traffic in the middle of a sweeping turn on the highway. In heavy traffic or at night, some guests like to drive on ahead 1000 feet where you can turn around and come back to the exit for a simple right-hand turn onto the exit ramp.) After exiting hwy 12, you will cross the Walla Walla river, a railroad and a cattle guard on the way. After passing the cattle guard, driving a short distance will bring you to a full right hand 90-degree turn. Ignore the immediate steep left-hand fork and continue straight ahead. In about 3/4 miles you will see our pink brick Mansion as you climb a gradual rise in the road. In the entryway between two imposing lava rocks, in front of the tall rock on the left-hand side, you will see a sign with the house number 1072. Congratulations! You have arrived!
