Hume Lake

Overview

Hume Lake Campground is a popular facility along Hume Lake, one of Sequoia National Forest's most visited destinations. The area offers seasonal recreational opportunities, including fishing, canoeing, hiking, biking, and swimming.

Recreation

Hume Lake is a year-round recreation destination. During warmer months, visitors can enjoy fishing, non-motorized boating, hiking and mountain biking.

During the winter, the area is popular for snowshoeing, cross country skiing and snowmobiling.

Facilities

The campground offers single and double-family campsites, some of which have views of Hume Lake. Foot trails lead to the lakeshore. Picnic tables and campfire rings are provided, as are flush toilets and drinking water.

Natural Features

The campground is situated among towering Incense Cedars and Ponderosa Pines on the northern end of Hume Lake, which was built to support a long-ago commercial logging operation. It once supplied water to the longest lumber flume transporting logs to the Central Valley. The elevation is 5,250 feet.



Sequoia National Forest, located at the southern end of the Sierra Nevada in central California, is named for the Giant Sequoia, the world's largest tree, which grows in more than 30 groves on the forest's lower slopes.



The forest comprises about 1.1 million acres. Elevations range from about 1,000 to 12,000 feet, creating precipitous canyons and mountain streams with spectacular waterfalls such as Salmon Creek Falls and Grizzly Falls.

The setting in the pines by the Lake is breathtaking. It was very peaceful and quiet. The park was clean. The only issue is some of the sites have issues with table and fire pit does not coincide well with the spot. Our neighbors, picnic table bare box and fire pit were directly behind our trailer. It doesn’t make much sense..

I reserved what was listed as a double site (site 56) and paid the fee for the site. Upon arrival I was shocked and disappointed to find the spot barely fit my 20 foot trailer and I had to park sideways in front of the trailer to park off the road. Luckily my son in law had to cancel his plans to join us, this (so called double spot) barely fit my trailer and truck. The spot itself was very big and if you are tent campers you would love this spot. My advice is to get as much information up front as possible so you might not be disappointed!

Large campsites, on a hill, close to beautiful lake. The camp hosts were friendly and helpful. Peaceful during the week except that there was amplified music and stadium-like very loud cheering one night coming from the religious retreat across the lake.
