Hume Lake in CA -- Campground & RV Camping

Hume Lake Campground sits at 5,250 feet among incense cedars and ponderosa pines on the northern shore of Hume Lake in Sequoia National Forest. The facility provides single and double-family campsites, some with lake views, alongside picnic tables, campfire rings, flush toilets, and drinking water. Foot trails lead directly from the loops to the water, where visitors swim, canoe, and fish for trout. Winter brings snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and snowmobiling. The nearby Bearskin Grove offers hiking trails through stands of mature giant sequoias.
