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.

Checkout your sites before hand. Lots of them have a step down off the pavement. Sometimes it's a BIG step. Not much shade if that's what your looking for.

Views are spectacular. Easy to get to, nicely located just outside of Sequoia. Bathroom with hot shower a plus. A little highway noise at my spot. Fun to have wild turkeys and squirrels in my area.

Cute and easy to access campground for families. I was surprised to see so many wildflowers and lush greenery at our site. Campground is very exposed, so you can see everything your neighbors are doing and any car that drives by on the main road. Suitable for families with kids or those who desire more amenities and have more than one car. Many restaurants and cute touristy shops and a couple of gas stations in the area. I went in March and it was unusually warm outside and there were lots of springtime bugs out and about. There was ample toilet paper and soap in the bathrooms. I didn't use the showers, but it looked like they were due for a hose down as it was dingy and had toilet paper saturated on the floor.

Was not being maintained. Someone had setup in our site but were not around to address it with them. Office was closed and the showers were locked. Stayed one of two nights. Avoid if possible.

The camp sites were far enough away from each other that noisy neighbors weren't an issue. We saw rabbits and water birds. At 3am we heard some coyotes and some cows (they didnt wake us we just happened to be awake). The ranger said there were rattlesnakes around so be mindful but we didnt see any on our walks. Our campsite had a table with a cover structure which is a great feature. I really enjoyed this site and hope to return
