Tillie Creek

Tucked beside the expansive shores of Lake Isabella, Tillie Creek Campground provides a scenic and activity-rich retreat within the Sequoia National Forest. With easy access to one of California’s largest reservoirs, the campground is a haven for water enthusiasts, offering activities such as boating, fishing, windsurfing, and water skiing. The campground’s blend of oak-shaded sites and proximity to vibrant natural and recreational attractions sets it apart as an ideal destination for both relaxation and adventure.

Tillie Creek features 105 campsites suitable for tents, trailers, and RVs (up to 30 feet), as well as group camping options that can accommodate larger gatherings. Each site is equipped with picnic tables, fire rings, and grills, while the campground provides essential amenities including flush toilets, drinking water, and a fish cleaning station. A spartan playground and amphitheater for summer campfire programs add to the campground’s appeal for families. Just across Highway 155, the Live Oak group site offers additional options. The campground’s peaceful atmosphere and forested setting are complemented by its close proximity to Lake Isabella’s marina and boat ramps.

Located six miles from the town of Lake Isabella, Tillie Creek is perfectly positioned for day trips to nearby attractions such as the Trail of 100 Giants and groves within the Giant Sequoia National Monument. The Kern River, with its opportunities for rafting, kayaking, and fishing, is also within a short drive. Whether you’re seeking an extended vacation or a weekend getaway, Tillie Creek Campground offers a memorable blend of outdoor recreation and natural beauty.
