Corral Creek is a Forest Service campground in the Kern River Ranger District of Sequoia National Forest in California. It sits within the national forest's boundaries, and the Forest Service manages the land. No fees are required to use the site, which makes it an easy stop for an overnight stay in the area. The surrounding district offers several other places to camp, so it works well as a base for exploring the district's dispersed camping and other recreation. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 80°F and October highs around 81°F, while July and August average in the upper 90s. That station sits a few hundred feet lower than the campground, so temperatures here run slightly cooler. Spring Hill South Dispersed Camping is about 0.4 miles away and Spring Hill North Dispersed Camping is about 0.7 miles away. Goldledge Campground is about 1.3 miles off, and the Rincon hike is about 2.6 miles away.
