Nice campground next to Indian Basin area

This campground sits in Sequoia National Forest and is not too far from Hume Lake (also in the Forest). There are three loops with reservable sites, and there are about 20 tent only sites. The campground is nicely shaded, but not all sites have trees suitable for hammocking (some trees are just too big!). Sites are not on top of each other, so there is a bit of privacy, but you can see your neighbors so no streaking! The vault toilets are clean and well maintained, and you can either gather downed wood (seemed like there was a lot to pick from) or buy firewood from the camp hosts (don’t bring in outside wood, they have invasive bugs!!). I really like the location as the campground sits next to a beautiful meadow, Indian Basin, with a really nice paved interpretive trail and a nice spur trail (unpaved). In the evenings the deer come out to graze in the meadow, and the camp host said that bears also come to the meadow frequently. This means it is really important to use the bear lockers at each campsite- don’t store anything in your car! There are a lot of humongous stumps from when this area was logged for the giant sequoia trees. There are still a few sequoias in and around the campground. There is also a little stream that flows through part of the campground, across the hiking trail and, into the meadow but it didn’t seem to attract many bugs/mosquitos, at least not in early June.
