Horse Creek Campground is a low-key escape located on the Kaweah River in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. You can’t beat the views, and you also may not be able to beat the sun as this campground offers little shade… bring the straw hat! Nearby Kaweah Lake offers a treasure chest of activity for fishers, boaters, and those looking to cool down from the summer sun. While you’re here, make a point to swing by nearby Sequoia National Park and say hi to the General for us, General Sherman Tree that is, the world’s largest tree by volume!

Horse Creek Campground also features four group sites for equestrian camping.

4.4mi from Horse Creek Campground · 2 sites · Tents, RVs

Welcome to Three Rivers Nature Lodge Preserve, a 66-acre wildlife habitat nestled in the oak woodlands at the gateway to Sequoia National Park. This private sanctuary offers a serene escape characterized by vibrant native wildflowers, several ponds, and stunning mountain backdrops. Located within a 30-minute drive of the Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park entrance, it serves as an ideal home base for exploring the high Sierras while providing a quiet space to connect with nature. The property features two distinct sites designed for different camping styles. Fairy Glen is a secluded tent-only site tucked under a lush oak canopy near a riparian zone filled with willow and fig trees. To maintain the tranquility of the area, this site is a short walk from the lodge, and a wagon is provided to help transport your gear down the scenic path. For those traveling with vehicles or looking for more space, the Oak Meadow Event Space offers a wide, sun-drenched area perfect for van camping or small RVs under 20 feet. This site includes a stage often used for outdoor yoga and music, offering a unique "basecamp" feel with direct vehicle access via a dirt road (4WD recommended). Both sites offer access to potable water and toilets, though please note that there are no showers or electrical hookups, and campfires are not permitted to protect the preserve. Whether you are here to hike the nearby national parks, enjoy the local birdlife, or simply stargaze from the meadow, the Three Rivers Nature Lodge Preserve offers a pristine slice of California’s mountain landscape. Friendly pets are welcome to join you on your adventure.

Five Fours Camp in Three Rivers

7.2mi from Horse Creek Campground · 1 site

This is a essentially a private campsite with a million dollar view during the day, and wonderful stargazing at night! We welcome dogs and don't charge additional fees for you to bring your dog(s) to camp. The park allows dogs into the park BUT NOT ON ANY TRAILS! (Only the national “forests” allow dogs on trails, not national parks.) PLEASE, let us know you are bringing dog(s), when you request to book. We currently have 2 dogs - our boy Chance is a 6yo Husky Doberman mix; and we rescued and are fostering a (approx 3yo) Great Dane, Winston! Unfortunately, we can NOT dog sit your dog(s) while you are in the park having 2 large male dogs in our house. Also you can not leave the dog alone in the campsite. We are in Three Rivers - the southern Ash Mountain gateway to the Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. Our town has some wonderfully unique restaurants, creative shops and even a delicious brewery with seating next to the River! Our hillside property has great Mountain View’s and the driveway turns directly off of Sierra drive, four miles past the town center (3R post office) and just 2 miles from the Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks entrance. There’s even a convenience store a quarter mile away! It's conveniently located and easy to find! You can (seasonally) hear the tranqual sounds, or all out roar of the flowing Kaweah river from across the street. Sorry, there is NO river access from this campsite. You can go to Slick Rock Recreation area, Lake Kaweah or into the parks to swim, boat, fish and more. Lake Kaweah is about 8 miles away. You drive around it after you top the hill entering Three Rivers. My wife Elizabeth and I bought our log home in 2015 and we have been dreaming and adding here ever since! Our dog Chance chases all the fun wildlife off of our property. In addition to deer, we have seen fox, bob cats, an Ocelot, too many coyotes, wild turkeys and bear crossing an animal highway along our upper hillside property line. Hawks, hummingbirds, quail, blue birds, woodpeckers and yellow bellied finches are regularly seen here as well. We have had turkey families coming through frequently recently! Owls have been heard; but not seen. We love our country home and mountain views, and look forward to sharing them with you!

We happened to find this beautiful spot when we were coming from Bakersfield. We had intentions on carrying on through three rivers to another site , but this lake was too stunning. We set up camp by sunset and begun enjoying the serenity immediately ! Aside from a few swiping cars passing around the lake all you will hear is the sound of birds all evening and frogs at night. It is $20 for two people to camp and you get your own fire pit and picnic bench. Showers are not that inviting but if you're brave , wear shoes and you should be fine . Flushing Toilets and running water here . Highly reccomend
