Horse Creek

Pro: great location for exploring nearby national parks and the wonderful town of Three Rivers, beautiful view, great potable water supply, good wildlife viewing.

Con: right next to highway, got flooded and wasn't really cleaned up before reopening, showers only ran at scalding temps, never saw host in 4 day stay, minimally cleaned/stocked bathrooms, big sites but no privacy

We stayed at camp site 20. None of the sites were off in-fact our assigned site was 26 but we moved as soon as we got there due to huge pile of brush being directly in the middle of our assigned camp site. All the other sites were quite the same there were even some with huge fallen over trees and logs covering the picnic tables. We purposely chose our site to be close to the restrooms located at the at the far end of the campgrounds, how ever the bathrooms were locked upon our arrival. We were able to flag down a maintenance worker to get them open after about 6 hours of walking back and forth to the camp office (which wasn’t open or occupied not a single time during our two day stay). He got them open but the toilets were full of algae the floors were covered in leaves and dead mosquitoes to the point they were crunching under foot as you walked in. The sinks were full of spider webs. When we had asked maintenance to open them for us he responded with “Ya but they ain’t gonna be cleaned”. The only restrooms available are at the top of the hill so if your wanting to stay close to bathrooms camp at the entrance side of the campgrounds. Don’t expect to be able to talk to a camp host there are none. There is zero shade which is to be expected. The quiet hours are not enforced what so ever (again no camp host). We hated the place and won’t be returning don’t wasted your 20$ a night. I feel like they should be paying the public to stay there. 0 out 5 stars. 10/10 would not recommend spend the extra money and drive 10 minutes up the road to three rivers to camp TRUST ME.

What a beautiful campsite we had at site #30. We were almost the only people in the campground due to the weather. It had been raining but the sun was shinning for us. The head Ranger, Ryan, was extremely helpful to us. The camp host/worker was very nice as well. We will be back!

The campsites were kept clean. It was strongly recommended to us that we avoid the bathrooms and showers if possible because they were dirty due to a lack of janitorial crew, but we didn't venture that way as we had our trailer. No matter the time of year the views are incredible. However, the "camp host" AKA maintenance guy was difficult to get along with. If you plan to venture out in the morning, don't plan on the gate being open when the sign says. This place NEEDS a camp host.

The campground is right off the road and easy to get to. The views of the foothills were very pretty, however we were disappointed that the reservoir has recently been partially drained, so there were no views or functional use of it. There were bathrooms close to our campsite that were not maintained very well (dirty and no toilet paper). Finally, one of our neighbors was blasting music until 3:00 in the morning and the camp host did nothing to stop him. We likely will not return back.

The camp host was rude and overly authoritative. It takes the fun out of camping there.

This was the only campground along my route open after the December storms and while the campsites looked lovely and well kept, the camp host was no where to be found and no note (usually a note is left if the camp host is away) and there was only a few other campers. While trying to decide if it felt safe as a solo female traveler I walked into the women's bathroom to check out the "hot" showers. The bathroom ceiling was rotting and falling down, the shower stall was dingy and dirty, and the bathroom stalls looked like animals had nested in the corners. I don't know what the men's room looked like but based on the look of the women's and not feeling good about the place, I left and went down to Lemon Grove RV park for the night. Hopefully there are plans to update the bathrooms.

All we noticed “No” signs everywhere. Ranger never came by to give us our needed paper verification although he parked a block away and stared at our campsite for 20 minutes. Don’t know what that was about. All roads were gated off to the lake and made access to fishing impossible. Very disappointed with our stay.

Campsite #73 was in a great location, which we enjoyed very much. The only drawback was that there was no BBQ/cooking grate over the fire pit, so we had to pan fry our steaks. The campground host, Jon, was very helpful.

Overall a good place to camp. To note, lots of driveways are sloped so sleeping in the car is odd. Men’s restroom smells whilst the Women’s doesn’t. Free hot showers available but only 1 stall per restroom.

No firewood onsite. Buy some from the Village Market about 5 miles towards the national park.
