Fantastic park but the spots can get quite small for a big fifth wheel. Do your research and you’ll be fine!

I had high expectations, but I have to give it one star. The location is really beautiful — such a shame. When we arrived, the toilets and showers were broken and not working, which is a real problem for those staying in tents. The pitch was on a slope, making it impossible to sleep in a tent, and the grill was full of rust with parts falling off, so cooking was impossible. In the end, we had to change campsites.

We love horse Creek it's a great place to visit The rangers are really nice very informative they always stop and check up on people there's a few of them that actually came back and brought our little girl a souvenir we love that campsite we recommend it to our friends all the time now if people would just tie up their dogs and keep their kids in their own campsite it'd be a lot more funner

3 star only for lack of water on site; possible water main issue. Site was built and maintained by Army Corps of Engineers. Nestled just shy of 3 Rivers, location is ideal for Sequoia NP, made a great resting point after Yosemite and KC NP…nearby Slick Rock for R&R. Don’t waste your time with pulling trailer in and out of Sequoia, wide open spaces here vs the uphill twisty pull to Potwisha.

The rangers there are always very friendly. We have great time whenever we go. There wasn't any water for the showers or restrooms but it was stated on the website so we came prepared.
