Hull Creek is a Forest Service campground in the Mi-Wok Ranger District of Stanislaus National Forest in California. The land is managed by the Forest Service, and the site has vault toilets. The most comfortable months for a visit are late spring and early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Cherry Valley Dam show May highs around 70°F and October highs around 70°F, with only a few wet days in each. That station sits about 730 feet lower than the campground, so expect temperatures at Hull Creek to run slightly cooler. Fees are charged at the campground. The closest nearby spots include Camp Ida Spring, a hike about 1.7 miles away, and the Clavey River, a canoeing route about 3.7 miles off. Paddlers can also look to the South Fork Stanislaus River, about 5 miles away, and climbers to Beached Whale Boulders, about 6.6 miles away.
