Horse Creek Campground is an incredible place to rest and relax for a few days. You are also sitting very close to the entrance to Sequoia National Park. Great value. Bath and shower houses are cleaned daily and were spotless. Plenty of water fill spots throughout the campground.  Double dump station.  All sites offer a great view of the lake.  Some sites are more suited for big rigs than others.  Be sure to carefully review their website before making a selection.

So few campsites are level for RV’s so choose your site carefully. Space 74 that I stayed in had great views of the lake.

We felt the grass was a little too long which caused the area to have a lot of bugs. The restroom was close and convenient, but there was no lighting anywhere near and the restrooms were not kept up well. We believe the area caused many people to use our camp site to cross to use the restroom, which made us feel unsafe and that we couldn’t fully relax because we had to watch our things and deal with this bad etiquette. In addition, we had two sites to either side of us and there were friends and were constantly cutting through our site and not respecting our camp boundary and there was no one available to address this matter.

Had a great time at horse creek and Lake Kaweah. Spent most of the day kayaking and then relaxing at the campsite. Very quiet and clean!

People next to us had two barking dogs. Once a ranger showed up I asked if they would address the issue. She said she would but then never did.

Great campground for Sequoia NP. Bathroom/restrooms as clean as you can expect for a campground. Working showers with hot water. Road noise can be heard but is not unbearable. RVs need to take note of quiet hours and shut there generators off, take note quiet hours are (10pm-6am)!!. No where to wash kitchenware for campers, many would wash there kitchenware under the fresh water spouts and in the bathrooms, not good! Campers please take a bucket and wash your dirty pots in your own campsite. Last point, the lack of campers using the wash facilities for basic hygiene was actually quite disturbing.
