What Guests Are Saying

Horse Creek Campground offers stunning views and a serene atmosphere, making it a delightful choice for families and nature enthusiasts. While some amenities, particularly restrooms and showers, were closed or in poor condition, many visitors appreciated the cleanliness of the portable toilets and the overall beauty of the site. The campground's proximity to Sequoia National Park and friendly rangers contributed to a positive experience for most campers, despite minor maintenance issues.

Restrooms and showers were closed with no notice before going to site.
No employee available.
Space was very uneven and too uncomfortable to sleep on.
Camp spots were too narrow and too close.
Very dissatisfied.

The shower/ bathroom situation was beyond disgusting. Stayed fri-sat nights and drove up to the park to day hike both days. As tent campers we were hoping to use the showers but it was a total biohazard. There was feces and used toilet paper literally on the floor. The garbage can inside the bathroom (2 ft away from the shower) was overflowing with used toilet paper TO THE BRIM. There is no divider between the toilet and actual shower. No where to hang clothes or a towel or even anywhere not filthy to put down anything in the bathroom/ shower. We noticed most of the bathrooms were closed and only two actual flushing toilets were operating, it was portapottys for a FULL campground. At $20 a night i guess you just have to deal with it?! Sad what these campgrounds have become. Especially when our california tax dollars go to fund these places.

Nice lots, well kept, amazing views, port-a-potties are cleaner than many I have used. Decent amount of distance between neighbors. Will be coming back again for our next Sequoia trip.

Not too busy Thanksgiving weekend which was nice. Very few level sites but we found a good site in 51 with an unobstructed view of the mountains. Day trip into Three Rivers and Sequoia National Park was beautiful.

The location is great! The camp site was nice and clean and convenient.
Only issue was that the restrooms were closed and there were only the portable toilets. That also had run out of toilet paper, thankfully we carried our own.

Pretty limited amenities when I was there in December. Although the porta-potties were decently clean, the bathrooms were closed and there were no operational spigots close to my campsite. No camp host meant going into town for firewood. The second night we had to dig out the ash from the fire pit to get the level below the holes for drawing air. The site itself had a large level space for a tent and the parking spots easily accommodated a full-size truck. It's a beautiful location if you are ready to rough it a bit.

I was nervous because I never been camping before but this was fun! Pretty easy to find our spot and love how spread out we were from others.
