There are not many people even during the summer when they have many programs going on, everyone is friendly and it is very relaxing and they have an area where you can sit on the rocks and enjoy the water holes. More

Hume lake is the centerpoint- and is usually filled with Christian Campers during the summer. Great walk around the lake any time of year. Coffee shop, bookstore, bathrooms, telephone all close by. More

The lake is on the leeward side of the hill and thus shielded from the background hum of the San Joaquin Valley making it especially serene. The Christian camp at one end enjoys this. Fly fishing is common on the lake and the beach near the stream entering the lake is a great place to swim in the summer. Winter... More

Being the 4th of july weekend we actually found a spot in the Christian Camp, we had room 204, it was cozy, but there was enough room for 7 of us to have a good sleep. The lake is in the perfect location, the dining hall where we had breakfast overlooking the lake was wonderfull. Nice pool, the a.m. fog... More

My husband and I had the privilege of staying at the Hume Lake Christian Camp recently. We called on a whim to see if they rent to individuals and they do provided there is room available. The room was MOST reasonably priced. We have a king suite: bed, couch, chair and a wonderful balcony where deer grazed in the evening.... More

Very relaxing atmosphere. The lake is calm and fine for famliy fun. The Hume Lake Campground (Not part of Christian camp) was extremely nice. Lot of space between areas for a lot of privacy. Short walk to the lake. Fantastic scenery. Bathrooms were dirty and no showers, but everything else made up for that. Also, the nearby Christian camp has... More

Hume Lake is a great place for family fun. Surrounded by a Christian retreat, Hume Lake has amenities but lacks loud, trash-wielding weekend warriors. Bring a one piece bathing suit if you plan to use the pool because you can't show your belly button. I think the Christians forget that the Lake itself is part of a National Park. We... More
