5 days of bliss by Hume Lake!

We actually used the new Dyrt Alerts feature to snag this spot and it was awesome! Campsites are spread out nicely, access to bear boxes, dumpsters, and bathrooms are easy. There is 0 cell service at this site, I only had access to WiFi at Grant Welcome center, about 20 min away. You can also walk over to Hume Christian camp and pay $20 a day to hop onto theirs if you really need it. The camp hosts did have phones if there was emergency. The ground was really level for our van and tent. Also, shout out to our hosts for being great! They welcomed us, went over all the rules, and let us know there was an active bear in the area and what we needed to know about it. (We did hear the bear 3/5 nights) Make sure you store ALL food and coolers in the bear box and latch the dumpsters back and you’ll be just fine! The hiking and swimming around Hume Lake was great but this site was also easy driving distance to Grant Tree and General Sherman hikes a little further south. We went in August and it was perfectly warm during the day, not too hot (76) and cold at night (55). We did have a summer thunderstorm pop up so always be ready to switch gears and have some extra clothes! All in all a great spot and would be happy to stay here again.
