In addition to hiking the sequoia groves, visitors enjoy swimming, trout fishing and boating at nearby Lake Hume. The trails in the Monument are open to hikers, horses and bikes, however bikes are not permitted in wilderness areas.
The campground accommodates up to 100 people and has back-in spaces for 35 vehicles.
Vault toilets, drinking water, laundry facilities and food storage lockers are provided.
The Giant Sequoia Mercantile offers a wide variety of books, maps, gifts, local art, camping supplies and other merchandise.
This facility is operated by Sequoia Recreation, a division of California Land Management and comments are welcome; comment forms are available from campground hosts or online.
The Sequoia National Forest, located at the southern end of the Sierra Nevada in central California, takes its name from 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, and elevations range from about 1,000 to 12,000 feet, creating precipitous canyons and mountain streams with spectacular waterfalls such as Salmon Creek Falls near Fairview and Grizzly Falls on the Kings River.
From Fresno, California, take Highway 180 east to Grants Grove. Drive approximately 12 miles, then take a right onto Hume Road and continue 4 more miles, passing Christian Camps. Take a right at the Aspen Hollow sign. Go 3/4 mile reaching the entrance of the campground.
Hume Lake is one mile away, as is Hume Lake Trail.
Other then been near Hume Lake this place is not a great camping spot. There are no near by trails or streams to explore.
Fantastic campground nice and clean and well cared for pit toilets are clean and stocked with plenty of toilet paper overall an excellent stay.
A lot of space, a lot of wood for campfire. Creek is in 10 minutes walk and lake in 20 minutes. Great
