Horse Camp Campground

Horse Camp Campground, located in the picturesque Sequoia National Forest, offers a serene and intimate camping experience tailored for equestrian enthusiasts. At an elevation of 7,600 feet, this first-come, first-served campground features six campsites equipped with horse corrals and basic amenities such as picnic tables, fire rings, and vault toilets. The absence of potable water and on-site hookups emphasizes the rustic charm of this destination, requiring visitors to bring their own supplies, including water for themselves and their horses.

Situated 13 miles southeast of Grant Grove via Generals Highway and Big Meadow Road, the campground is surrounded by the natural splendor of the Sierra Nevada mountains. It serves as a gateway to scenic backcountry trails, perfect for horseback riding and hiking, with opportunities to explore the lush forests and tranquil meadows of the region. This area is ideal for weekend getaways or longer escapes for those seeking a quiet, nature-immersed retreat.

Within a 30-minute drive, visitors can explore Grant Grove and its iconic giant sequoias in Kings Canyon National Park. The tranquil Big Meadow area is also nearby, offering additional trails and panoramic vistas. However, campers should be mindful of wildlife, including bears, and adhere to forest service guidelines to ensure the protection of this pristine environment. Horse Camp Campground remains a wonderful option for equestrians and nature lovers to reconnect with the outdoors in a peaceful and scenic setting.
