Reid Ranch

Such a beautiful place! I went there for church youth conference and had a blast! We stayed at the Tabby Mountain Lodge, which was very cozy and close to the dining hall, where I thought the food was good. The activities were great and the staff were amazing. Overall, it was a great time here; I would love to come again sometime.

This is the perfect spot for a youth camp. Don't think of it as a step down from a hotel. Its more of a step up from camping. The food was great (accommodated gluten free). The wrangles were so nice! Be nice to their horses and they will take you to some amazing places! If you are up for a short, steep hike, go to Sunrise Ridge. The view was amazing! 🤩 Just be ready to be active. Between the lake, pool, archery, mountain biking, horse shoes, 9 square, soccer, ropes course, there is something for everyone!!!

It is a well run camp. The kids loved the activities. The downside is there isn't a lot of shade as the trees in camp were all cleared.

We spent a few days up at Reid’s Ranch for Girls camp last week and for the most part, everything was great. One thing we weren’t expecting was the tent city site wasn’t the green grassy area they have pictured. It was just dirt. It made for a very dirty and dusty stay. Also, our tents weren’t swept out when we got there so we had to do that before we could set up. But the staff were all great. The bathrooms were actually nice and kept very clean. The activities were fun. A few things could definitely use some updating but overall, we enjoyed most of what they had to offer. The food was ok. But not having to cook for ourselves was amazing!

I am the camp director for our ward’s girls camp summer of 2024. Reid Ranch was okay but overall we felt that for the amount of money we spent, we expected a higher quality stay. We wouldn’t come again. The positives: -Our girls loved the activities; especially horseback riding, biking, lake time, and the ropes course. The mini golf was quite run down and home made but was still fun. -The Reid Ranch employees were all professional, fun and helpful. Everyone seemed happy to assist and were very kind. -Girls camp was so easy to plan because Reid Ranch took care of everything! So many activities, food, tents provided, etc. A camp director’s dream! -Beautiful scenery. The lake, mountains, sunsets, etc were pretty and peaceful. The negatives: -Food was pretty awful. We didn’t have high expectations so we brought plenty of snacks. I’m grateful we did because half the food served each meal was suspicious looking with terrible textures and bad taste. We had several girls and leaders with upset stomachs, diarrhea, etc. by the end of our 3 days. -Prior to camp, I filled out the dietary restrictions for our group as required. We have 1 vegetarian girl and were told she would have non-meat options. Reid Ranch’s “vegetarian” option is just to not eat the meat. My poor vegetarian girl was left with 2 sides as her meal. Again, thankful for the snacks we brought. If Reid Ranch wants to know dietary restrictions, we need to be provided with better options. -We were promised our own campsite. When we arrived we were told we were sharing the campsite, fire pit, and pavilion with another group. We complained and we ended up having the campsite to ourself. I was grateful for them working with us there but was irritated we had to deal with it at all. -We stayed in tent city, campsite 1. We had 8 tents and some zippers were completely broken. We zipped it up to have it unzip behind the zipper. The remaining tents had semi functional zippers. They closed only after much difficulty. Reid Ranch safety pinned some tents so they would close. Other than the zippers the tents were great and held up well in the extremely windy conditions we had the first night. The zipper problem was a pretty big deal for us and we feel that if Reid Ranch is supplying tents, they should be functional. We would have paid less or brought or own tents had we known the conditions. -I wish scheduling would have been a little better. Because of our group size, we had to split into smaller groups for biking and horseback riding. We had no problem with that. However, we had several scheduled activities overlap. For example, we had 45 minutes of lake time that started while half our group was still biking. I would think it is possible to schedule groups without having this be a frequent problem. -Shirtless boys playing sports everywhere. Not exactly the environment we were hoping for our girls camp. I wish there could be a mandatory clothing rule, especially when church camps are up there constantly. Overall we had fun and it wasn’t a negative experience to come to Reid Ranch, but it wasn’t a positive enough experience to come again or recommend. Just a little disappointed for how expensive this “all-inclusive resort” was.
