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.

There was no camp host on site during this time of year. The park ranger stopped by once a day to get you checked in and give you a tag to hang on your mirror. The bathrooms were not in use and they had a few portapotties available. It appeared that there were a lot of water valve spots, but they were not hooked up and we had to go to the bathroom area for water. A lot of the sites were on slants that are not able to be seen on the images on the site. However, site 62 was flat and overall a nice spot.

We usually have great time there but we ran into a park ranger who was working the evening shift that was just a A hole. He ask if we had stayed with them before and I pointed out yes multiple times we were aware off all the rules. But he still felt the need to paint them all out and even made the comment that if we didn't follow the rules he would have no issue coming back out. We get along with all the rangers but this guy was just a pill worst part was that the lady next to us had her dogs running around crapping everywhere and he didn't say anything about that

We stayed one night at this campground and were disappointed. The website had promised showers and bathrooms but unfortunately when we arrived we were surprised to find that the entrances to the bathhouses had been blocked by port-a-johns. Having expected a place to use a real bathroom and to take a shower we were upset. The view was nice and the rest of the campground was fine which is why I’m rating it 2 stars instead of 1.
