Quinn Meadow Horse Camp

Quinn Meadow Horses Camp features horse sites adjacent to a network of trails to ride on the southwest side of Mt. Bachelor and surrounding areas. This site is located between Devils Lake and Elk Lake and provides access to the Three Sisters Wilderness via the Quinn Creek (Meadow) Trail . The Quinn Creek (Meadow) Trail #1 runs west tying into the Elk-Devils Trail #12 in the Three Sisters Wilderness . Wilderness permits are required for both day use and overnight stays from this trailhead. See "Permit Info" below for more details. For a map of the campground, please click here . Day use parking is not available at Quinn Meadow Horse Camp. Horse campgrounds have been designed to accommodate people who need to corral their horses. We have a limited number of these kinds of campgrounds and ask, out of courtesy and safety for you and the horses, to please consider camping elsewhere if you do not have a horse. We have many campgrounds nearby.
