Stony Creek Campground is a Forest Service campground in the Hume Lake Ranger District of Sequoia National Forest in California. It sits within the Sequoia National Forest, and the Forest Service manages the land. The site has flush toilets, and a fee is charged for stays. Two other campgrounds, Stony Creek Sequoia and Upper Stony Creek Campground, are each about 0.1 mile away, so the area offers several options for camping close together. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from the Lodgepole weather station, about 7 miles away, show July and August highs around 76°F with lows in the mid-40s and only a couple of wet days a month. Winter brings highs in the upper 30s and frequent snow days, with January and February each averaging about eight. Nearby, the Stony Creek hike starts about 0.4 mile away, and the Crystal Wall and Chimney Spire climbing areas are each about 2 miles off. Hume Lake, roughly 9.6 miles away, offers lake fishing.
