About
Horse Camp Campground is a small, rustic equestrian campground nestled in the Giant Sequoia National Monument at 7,600 feet elevation. Operated cooperatively by the U.S. Forest Service and the Back Country Horsemen of California - San Joaquin Sierra Unit, this camp caters specifically to visitors traveling with horses and pack animals. The five campsites are equipped with horse corrals, making it a convenient base for exploring the surrounding backcountry trails. The campground offers basic amenities including vault toilets and picnic tables, but no potable water is available. Campers must pack in all water needed for themselves and their stock. Sites are first-come first-served with no reservation system, and no fees are charged, though donations are welcomed to help maintain the facility. Campfire permits are required for any fires, barbecues, or camp stoves. Access is via Generals Highway to Big Meadow Road (Forest Route 14S11), approximately 13 miles southeast of Grant Grove. The campground sits at the junction of Forest Route 13S04. Quiet hours are observed from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m.
