Set at 5,300 feet in the Giant Sequoia National Monument, it's built for large gatherings that want genuine forest camping just a mile from Hume Lake's swimming and fishing.

Amenities
The Camp
The campground sits within the Giant Sequoia National Monument, right next to Kings Canyon National Park. At 5,300 feet, you're in proper montane forest without the thin air of higher elevations. The setup accommodates large groups with back-in spaces designed for 35 vehicles, so RVs and trailers fit without the usual campground tetris.
Food storage lockers handle the bear situation, and vault toilets plus drinking water cover the basics. Laundry facilities are an unusual bonus for group camping — helpful when you're managing gear for dozens of people.
What to Know
This is reservation-only territory, and at nearly $500 per night, it's clearly meant for cost-sharing among large groups. The 100-person capacity makes it viable for family reunions, Scout troops, or corporate retreats where splitting the fee makes financial sense.
Being adjacent to Kings Canyon National Park puts you in prime black bear country. The provided food storage lockers aren't optional — they're your insurance policy against midnight visitors.
Nearby
Hume Lake sits just one mile away — an 87-acre reservoir in the Kings River Watershed. It's the kind of man-made lake that feels natural enough, offering swimming, fishing, and non-motorized boating without the crowds of larger Sierra lakes. For groups with kids or non-hikers, having lake access within walking distance changes the entire dynamic of the trip.
The Giant Sequoia National Monument designation means you're surrounded by protected forest, with trail access into the broader Sierra Nevada. Kings Canyon National Park's wilderness permits and trail system are immediately accessible for groups that want to split between car campers and backpackers.
