In the agency’s own words

Logger Flat Group Camping is situated in the Sequoia National Forest, a short drive from Hume Lake, one of the forest's most visited destinations. Windsurfing and fishing are popular activities at the lake. Keep reading

Recreation

Hume Lake is a popular recreation destination where visitors can enjoy fishing, non-motorized boating, hiking, mountain biking and off-road exploring. A family-friendly trail loops around the lake, offering a 2.6-mile path with interpretive signs and benches along the way.

Facilities

The campground offers one group site that can accommodate up to 50 people and 30 vehicles or a combination of 20 cars and 10 RVs. Vault toilets and drinking water are provided, but no electric hookups are available.

Natural Features

Sequoia National Forest 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 campground is 3 miles south of Hume Lake at an elevation of 5,600 feet. The lake was built to support a one-time commercial logging operation, and sits in the Kings River Watershed, a region of the Sierra Nevada mountains replete with vast stands of timber.

Who keeps the booking fee

The agency’s own policy text says the reservation fee and the cancellation processing fee are “retained by the reservation service contractor”, and that a campground concessionaire will decline to refund them because “they did not receive these fees”. Recreation.gov is run under contract by Booz Allen Hamilton. What share of your booking fee the contractor keeps isn’t published in any federal dataset we can read, so we print no number for it.

OpenStreetMap has no toilet mapped within 1 km of this campground, so no site here carries a toilet distance. That’s a gap in the map, not a finding about the campground.

How we know

every fact on this page, and where it came from
Right now: U.S. Forest Service’s own recreation database flags it not open and publishes no reason and no date. That’s a flag, not a notice: the number below is the only way to be sure.
Cell signal: the Forest Service’s own campground description, read as text by CAMPANAC. None of this is a measurement. It’s what the land manager published about the place, and phones, carriers and weather all disagree with each other; treat it as a warning, not a promise.
Nearest place of any size: Wilsonia, CA, 4.1 mi NE (a census designated place). Straight line.
