Camping at Tillie Creek

Public campground · 4 campsites · 4 group

A forested campground near trout fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. Most campsites have no hookups.

About this campground

Water recreation is the primary draw: swimming, water-skiing and windsurfing are common year-round activities, and the lake fishes well in colder months for trout; anglers also target black and white crappie, bluegill, catfish and largemouth bass. Beyond the shoreline, Sequoia National Forest provides a broad palette of outdoor options biking, hiking, horseback riding and horse camping, interpretive programs, off-highway vehicle opportunities, and even overnight stays at fire lookouts or cabins in parts of the forest.

How far ahead to book Tillie Creek

For May weekends, book about 49 days ahead. Three in four May Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 26 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.

Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (2,311 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
