About Quinn Meadow Horse Camp
Campground in Oregon.

Nestled in a serene meadow setting, this public campground provides an ideal base for those traveling with horses or simply wanting to enjoy the calm beauty of the Oregon wilderness.
The campground's location makes it an excellent choice for horseback riding enthusiasts. The surrounding terrain offers numerous trails and open spaces where riders of all skill levels can explore at their own pace. Whether you're an experienced equestrian or someone who enjoys casual trail riding, the meadow environment provides both accessibility and natural beauty. The open spaces around the camp allow for easy horse management, and the setting encourages a slower pace of travel that many RV enthusiasts treasure.
Beyond the equestrian focus, the area surrounding Quinn Meadow Horse Camp showcases the rugged beauty that defines much of Oregon's landscape. The meadow itself creates a peaceful atmosphere, with expansive views and fresh mountain air. This type of setting appeals to campers looking to disconnect from busy highways and immerse themselves in a more remote, natural environment. Early mornings and evenings in the meadow offer particularly special moments for wildlife observation and photography.
The campground attracts a diverse group of visitors throughout the year.

Solo travelers and couples often choose this location for its tranquil surroundings and the opportunity to enjoy nature without excessive development or noise.
The region's natural features support various outdoor activities beyond riding. Fishing, hiking, and general exploration of Oregon's wilderness areas are all within reach.

The camp is very nice. Many trails lead out of this camp and everyone seems to be very nice and respectful here. They can't post is a horse woman that's very knowledgeable and helpful with all of our questions. So far we have road to Sparks Lake and went swimming and then we rode up to Mirror Lake. Mirror Lake Trail was my favorite

Great location great trails. Recent chainsaw clearing of trails. Trails in good shape. Corrals updated to pipe corrals with the ability to put up tarps or shade cloths for the horses. Many trails now need advance paid trail passes to traverse them. Planning exactly what trail what day? Geese. Isn’t paying campground fees enough? Whose forests are these?

Corrals updated to pipe corrals with the ability to put up tarps or shade cloths for the horses. Many trails now need advance paid trail passes to traverse them. Planning exactly what trail what day? Geese. Isn’t paying campground fees enough? Whose forests are these? Down sides: Sites are hard to fit the bigger trailers into. 2 or 4 horse pens per site. The BIGGEST down side is the hand pump for water. Each horse can drink 15+ gallons per day. The hand pump cannot be fitted with a hose. Each gallon of water is 8 lb, 30 gallons is 240 pounds hauled by hand to you site. The water hand pump is at the far end of the camp With 26 sites. How difficult would it be to install a solar pump extending below the frost line? All camps on Deschutes NF have hand pumps. People camps use WAY less water than horses. Horse camps are a tiny fraction compared to people camps. Food for thought.

Nice campground for horse people! Lots of wonderful trails. Corrals are all updated with pipe panels, not the old wood corrals. Almost all sites are level, there are two pit toilets, one water hand pump, multiple garbage bins and one manure dump. Camp host is super nice and helpful.

Great campground! Love that there are so many trails to ride on right out of camp or haul a few miles to so many other trail heads! My favorite horse camp by far.
