Overview

Stony Creek Campground sits at an elevation of approximatly 6,500 feet in the Sierra Nevada mountains. It's nestled among Sigar Pines, Jeffrey Pines, Red Firs and the scenic Stony Creek is just steps away. This campground is ideally located along the Generals Highway, in between Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks, near the Jennie Lakes Wilderness, and tucked within the heart of Hume Lake Ranger Districts Sequoia National Forest. 

Recreation

Hume Lake is a popular recreation destination where visitors can enjoy trout fishing, non-motorized boating, hiking, mountain biking and off-road vehicle riding.

Visitors can hike the Jennie Lake Trail. The trailhead to the 4-mile trail is across the street in the Upper Stony Creek campground.

Several creeks also run near the campground, offering additional fishing and wading opportunities.

Facilities

Stony Creek offers nearly 50 reservable campsites, spread out along the creek. Vault toilets, drinking water and an amphitheater are available at the campground.



This facility is operated by Rocky Mountain Recreation Company, a division of ExplorUS and comments are welcome; comment forms are available from campground hosts or online.

Natural Features

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 and Grizzly Falls.

Built to support a large commercial logging operation, Hume Lake supplied water to the longest lumber flume transporting logs to the Central Valley.
