About this campground
Tucked away in the heart of Sequoia National Forest, Logger Flat Group Campground offers an intimate wilderness retreat just 3 miles south of the sparkling waters of Hume Lake. This hidden gem provides the perfect basecamp for groups of up to 50 adventurers, with ample space for 30 vehicles to gather under towering pines. Whether you're casting a line into Hume Lake's pristine waters, exploring scenic hiking trails that wind through ancient forests, or paddling across the lake's glassy surface in a canoe or kayak, Logger Flat serves as your gateway to unforgettable mountain adventures.
Logger Flat Group Campground is designed for group camping, accommodating up to 50 people at its single site. It is suitable for tent and RV camping, but no additional camping styles (e.g., cabin or glamping) are offered.
Historical SignificanceLogger Flat's story is deeply rooted in the legacy of California's timber industry. Nearby Hume Lake stands as a testament to human ingenuity, originally created as a massive log pond to support the bustling commercial logging operations that once dominated these mountains. Today, this historic waterway has transformed from industrial workhorse to recreational treasure, serving as a vital part of the Kings River Watershed while offering visitors a glimpse into the region's fascinating logging heritage.
Weather and SeasonsSummer transforms Logger Flat into a mountain paradise where warm, sun-drenched days reach a comfortable 82°F, perfect for outdoor exploration. As evening approaches, temperatures drop to a refreshing 57°F, creating ideal conditions for gathering around the campfire under star-filled skies. The dry mountain air and virtually rain-free summer months ensure your outdoor plans won't be dampened, making this the perfect season to experience all the Sierra Nevada has to offer.
ElevationPerched at an invigorating 5,600 feet above sea level, Logger Flat offers a refreshing escape from valley heat. This mountain elevation brings crisp, pine-scented air that fills your lungs with each breath, while providing naturally cooler temperatures that make summer camping a delight. The higher altitude creates the perfect climate for both adventure and relaxation, where you can hike comfortably during the day and sleep soundly under cool mountain nights.
Natural Features and SceneryLogger Flat immerses you in the raw beauty of the Kings River Watershed, where a babbling creek meanders through your campsite, providing a natural soundtrack to your stay. Dense forests create a living cathedral overhead, while just minutes away, Hume Lake beckons with its mirror-like waters reflecting the surrounding peaks. Venture further to discover groves of ancient giant sequoias standing as silent sentinels, and dramatic mountain streams that cascade over granite boulders, creating picture-perfect scenes at every turn.
Geological RegionLogger Flat sits proudly within the majestic Sierra Nevada range, a geological wonderland carved by ancient glaciers and shaped by millions of years of natural forces. This corner of the Kings River Watershed showcases nature's artistry through pristine timber stands, crystalline mountain streams, and the engineering marvel of Hume Lake. The nearby groves of giant sequoias serve as living monuments to the area's unique geology, thriving in the perfect combination of elevation, climate, and soil that exists nowhere else on Earth.
