One of my favorite campgrounds so far. It has restrooms that have working flushing toilets and actual sinks; the stalls are always stocked and clean. I woke up about 15 minutes before 6 am and walked about 10 minutes to the lake to get this view. Seeing the Sunrise over the mountain is always the best part of the camp. There are a few trails throughout the camp and a dock you can stand on to enjoy a better view of the lake. Definitely recommend going here if possible.

We had a great camping experience at Hume Lake Campground. Our campsite was just a short walk from the lake, which made it easy to enjoy the scenery and spend time by the water. The restrooms had flush toilets and were generally clean throughout our stay. The campground hosts were very friendly, welcoming, and helpful, and we thought the camping fees were fair for the location and amenities. Please be mindful of $35 national park fee in addition to the campground fee. We camped with a travel trailer, and the only downside was that we wish more campsites had electrical hookups and fresh water. Since our site didn’t have those utilities, we had to drive over to the neighboring Princess Campground to dump our tanks before leaving. Adding more RV-friendly sites with hookups would make an already great campground even better. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back.

Campgrounds and bathrooms were clean. Camp hosts were helpful and had firewood for sale. Also the campground is right next to the lake so it's easy to walk down and swim, fish, or paddle

Gorgeous, stunning, well-maintained campground. Labor Day Weekend is pretty crowded with those who come for the annual Country Fair. Lots of families, dogs, bikes, pop-up tents, kayaks, etc! The trail around the lake is great for walking or jogging. There’s no cell service up in the mountains and the roads to get to the campground are very windy. There are several little shops and stores for snacks or Hume apparel. Picked up a few postcards at the Hume Lake General store and noticed there’s a post office right behind the store. It’s like a little town! There are kayaks, canoes, and paddle boards available to rent per-hour, half day, or whole day. The lake is beautiful at all times of the day and this campground is a beautiful place to enjoy nature and explore the woods.

Amazing campground with plenty of camping space! Bathrooms are okay and have flush toilets. Check out Hume lake in the morning and at the dawn for picturesque views of it! Book early in advance it’s one of the most popular campgrounds in the area and all for the right reasons!
