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.

When we got there, we quickly noticed that the site we had reserved was completely under water. We went back to the office where two amazingly nice men greeted us and found a new site for us to stay. Apparently this happens often in spring, as the snow from the mountains melts. We ended up being able to swim in the lake (very refreshing on hot summer days!) and walk on the street under water which was pretty cool. The reason I didn't give 5 stars is that the campground is completely open which doesn't give you any privacy. With no trees to block the sounds, you'll hear every little noise at night as though it was right next to your tent. We unfortunately had drunk men talking all night and refusing to whisper so we didn't get to sleep at all. That being said, you can disrespectful people anywhere, so I still recommend this campground.

Our area was flooded when we arrived but the host was very kind and helped us find different sites. It was hot and sweaty during the period we rented which was in the end of July 2019 but still had an awesome time!

Great campground in the foothills of the Sierras/only an hour drive from Sequoia NP. The two nights we spent there in late August/early September were beautiful - 70 degrees in the evening and beautiful stars in the sky. This is a great spot for exploring SEKI NPs!

Camp Host Was A Joke. We made reservation 2 weeks ahead. When we got to our spot a family of homeless druggies had it. Went to camp host she just said I will give you another spot. I'm 68 yrs old and like our spot because of the restrooms being close. The host then called the people in charge. She came down and said the same thing the camp host said, but she said we could have our original spot for nothing the next time we came. She said she would be back with a paper stating what she said she would do. Never Saw her again. That homeless family and their 2 kids moved to 2 other location while we were there. The host said they would move from one campground to another in the area. They would remove the reservation card and throw it in the trash.

Very nice place with an amazing view of the lake and the mountains. Very close to the Sequoia National Park.

Our second year in a row spending Thanksgiving at Horse Creek. It is a fantastic fall campground. Empty and quiet. The showers get hot, and the toilets flush. Not much more you could ask for.
Have also spent time camping here in the summer. Although a bit busier, it is still one of the quietest and empty campgrounds you can find this close to the gates of the Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks.

We had a great experience with the Horse Creek campsite. Check in was no problem at all and we easily found our space. The campground and facilities were clean and very well cared for and the location in relation to Sequoia National Park is pretty close to perfect. I would not hesitate to use this campsite again in the future.
