The proximity to the National park is great and the staff are very helpful and kind. That’s about the only positive thing I have to say. The park is in severe need of maintenance ie. erosion control, mowing down burr, and cleaning wood debris from a flood from over two years ago. Sad to see a USACoE in this state as they are typically very nice from my experience. Additionally, there were homeless drug users camped out right next to the showers and they’re smoking in the bathrooms and doing their laundry in the showers. Then hanging all their laundry at the campsite right next to the showers. Unsightly. Nice people, I spoke to them for about an hour but California seems to have some backwards policies as this doesn’t exist anywhere else we’ve camped across the country.

It's nice campground but did notice people just show and take spots that aren't there's. People across from us stayed up arguing till 2:30 am. Had people not camping there driving fast through campground.

The area looked great. Great ambience. My site was a bit steep to keep my trailer level though. Showers were hot but i had to keep hitting the button in the mens shower every half minute to turn it back on. Besides those inconveniences id definitely go again.

My Wife and I enjoyed our experience at horse creek campground. And the park rangers was outstanding. Very knowledgeable and professional. And the recommendations an other sites was a plus. During this off peak season I highly recommend checking out various sites.

Fun place to camp. Our campsite was close to the highway so we heard a lot of car noise but bathrooms were clean and there was a lot of wood to collect for campfires.
