Camping at Mountain Meadows
The Mountain Meadows camp at Horn Creek is a unique facility. The centralized dining and meeting halls are warm and inviting. And while we don't have any TVs or cable at Horn Creek, our Meadows meeting hall does boast a giant plasma screen monitor for family movie nights and other multi media.
Consider the meeting space, complete with lots of couches and a huge fireplace, your living-room for the week. Our dinning room is always open as well, providing a great place for late-night gaming or snacking. The coffee is always on.
A variety of housing options are available with 15 individualized cabins as well as a lodge type facility with large bedrooms and a substantial common area with its own fireplace! When you register for family camp at Horn Creek, we will match you with housing that best matches up with the size of your family and our needs to maximize our facility. If you have any special housing needs, you should let us know.
Mountain Meadows also has its own hot tub room, and the Horn Creek pool is in close proximity.
