  • Hume Lake Ranger DistrictSequoia National Forest

Landslide Campground sits at 5,800 feet in the Hume Lake Ranger District of Sequoia National Forest, within the Giant Sequoia National Monument. The Forest Service manages the land, and Rocky Mountain Recreation (RMR) operates the developed campground under a concessionaire permit. Nine campsites serve visitors, including six that are tent-only. Hiking through two nearby groves of giant sequoias is part of the draw. Trails in the monument are open to hikers, horses and bikes outside wilderness areas, and they wind through sequoia groves, up mountains and alongside wild rivers on compacted dirt surfaces. Summer is the warmest stretch. Typical averages from the nearby Grant Grove weather station, which sits higher than the campground, run from highs around 71°F in June to 79°F in July and August, with only one or two wet days a month. Winters are cold, with highs near 46°F and lows around 25°F from December through February. A fee is required, and the maximum RV length is 16 feet. That's the one-way climb. The place is rated easy.
