Cove Group Campground is set an elevation of 6,400 feet, just 18 miles from Lake Hume in California's Sequoia National Forest. Several trails pass nearby, offering excellent hiking, and streams along the way provide trout fishing. At Lake Hume visitors enjoy swimming, boating, fishing and hiking. This group site holds one group up to 50 people. Amenities include Picnic areas, water spigot, vault toilets, and group campfire rings.

The Forest comprises about 1.1 million acres, and elevations range from about 1,000 to 12,000 feet, creating precipitous canyons and mountain streams with spectacular waterfalls such as Salmon Creek Falls and Grizzly Falls.
