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.

It was our first time camping at Horse Creek Campground right off Lake Kaweah. The logistics: You get a parking pass to the rest of the recreation areas on the lake with your camping parking pass. There are showers and restrooms. Only half of the showers were open, but it was not busy in March. The restrooms by loop 60 where we stayed were porta potties, they were clean but ran out of toilet paper often. The highlights: the views were amazing! The frog and cricket sounds were relaxing at night. We saw a deer on the hills in the distance. There were a lot of good fishing spots, were you can try your luck. The road that ran behind the campground was not that busy at night and didn’t cause issues at night. The Park Rangers were all so friendly and helpful, we had a really great time.

loved our campsite (1)! the entire campground was well-maintained. the site had a good amount of shade and sun. didn't love that the toilets weren't working. porta-potties were clean, but ran out of toilet paper the day or two after being maintenced, so bring tp

close to the Sequoia entrance, which was perfect for us!

This is a place with great views. If you are self contained and don't have to use the 1 shower... You will enjoy it.

The camp site itself was decent. It did have a lot of small trash laying around. We did do a clean up of the site. I was disappointed to find porter potties and the bathrooms closed off. Especially when it’s advertised to have bathrooms and showers.
