Horse Creek Campground

Sequoia National Park


At Lake Kaweah, about 20-minutes' drive from Sequoia National Park, this developed family campground has all the amenities, including warm showers, water points and flush toilets. The views of the lake and mountains are magnificent. There's birdsong in the morning, but you may also hear the distant sound of cars, due to the campsite's close proximity to the road.

In late spring and early summer, flooding may close all or some of the tent sites.
