Hume Lake Campground

This review is for Hume Lake Campground in Sequoia National Park. The sites are spacious and private, and you have a couple of sections to choose from. Ours was in an area with some sequoias and cedars, ferns, wildflowers, and wild strawberries. There were a ton of Stellar Jays all over the place and we saw a very tame mule deer clearly very accustomed to humans. I believe there are 75 campsites and a few have a view of the lake. Hume Lake is a man made lake in Sequoia National Park about 6 miles from King's Canyon which can be seen from the dam and on the hill on the west shore of the lake (there is no trail, it is about two miles to get to the top). It used to be a logging camp. Imagine that: this forest was once clear cut because it had commercial value. I am sure glad that I don't have any commercial value and that nobody wants to chop me down. This is an excellent place to consume mushrooms. I would recommend the Liberty Cap variety and suggest about 3 grams for an optimal dose at this place. Watch Hume Lake turn very quickly into Shroom Lake and fortify your soul in the forest. In the evening, there was a layer of steam on the surface of the lake that was particularly cool. It was as if there was a wheat field on the surface of the lake. On the first day we were there, a lady named Dianne gave a presentation on the birds of prey in the parks and showed us a Red Tailed Hawk, a Great Horned Owl, and a Barn Owl. I had never been that close to a hawk before, and I felt like I should have been wearing a tie or something, it was so special. You can walk around the lake (3 miles) and head up a very cool canyon of a fork of the King's River. You should not try and swim in the river as you could easily drown trying to get out on the mossy rocks, but it is safe to swim in the lake. Across the lake is a Christian Camp where you can get gas and buy goods in their general store if needed. Many nice people that look like Ned Flanders wander around this side of the lake thanking the lord for such beautiful scenery. The campsites are $20 a night, admission to the park is an additional $20 for a trip you will never forget. This is a great campground for children. People thought this was:
