Tenmile Campground sits at about 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 the campground is run by ExplorUS. It has 13 campsites on Tenmile Creek, and the site's compacted dirt surfaces make it a base for exploring the surrounding sequoia groves and trails. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from the nearby Grant Grove weather station show July and August highs around 79°F with lows near 52°F and only about one wet day a month. Winter is much colder, with highs in the mid-40s and lows in the mid-20s. The campground has vault toilets and no drinking water. Maximum RV length is 22 feet. A standard amenity fee is collected through an interagency agreement with the National Park Service. Reservations can be made at recreation.gov. Landslide Campground is less than a mile away, and Logger Flat and Aspen Hollow are both within about 2 miles. Hikers can head to the Little Brown Church Trail, about 2 miles off.
