Sheep Creek Campground

Wonderful campground but pretty beat up.

This is our third year coming to Kings Canyon, to either Sentinel or Sheeps Creek campsites (right next to each other). We love it, every year we discover something new to do in the area with the hiking and the river - stunning views. The campsite itself is great - simple, lots of firewood around, fire pits, access to streams and the hotel creek. Ranger stopped in on our first day and verified the campsite rules with us. Other campers very cordial and generally respectful of the quiet times. The bathrooms are cleaned each morning and have working plumbing. Cedar Grove village store is great, has lots of necessary items and a nice selection of drinks. We love the place, and will keep coming back.

Do be careful when booking because a lot of the sites are not flat so you could be propped right on a slope all night if you’re not careful. Overall I’d absolutely come back again. It’s beautiful, our neighbors were great, the bears aren’t as big of an issue as we were expecting. We had several bears in our campsite and we ran into a bear on the Zumwalt Meadows hike but they’re not a big problem.

Super clean and quiet, the creek on the right side of the campground isn’t there anymore sadly. It was a very nice and spread out campground and everyone respected quiet time.

Wide shaded campsite with lots of fire wood around. Hiked Roaring River falls and saw deer and 2 fawns. No bear sightings but heard they were active!

Sheep’s creek never disappoints. Bathrooms kept clean. Ranger presence was very much appreciated in the campground.

Amazing campground to get away from everything. No cell service at all which was very nice. River was nice and cold and gave great background noise.

Had several power outages for a couple of days, couldnt shop or shower. Our site was sloped, but it was a beautiful area.

Sheep Creek Campground is a beautiful place, especially with the creek flowing nearby, which creates a relaxing and peaceful setting. The restrooms were generally clean, although cleanliness depends on how considerate other campers are. Access to water was also convenient, with water sources located close to the campsites.
Our first night (Saturday) was less enjoyable because the campground was crowded and noisy even after quiet hours. There was no campground host or staff on-site, and the ranger was located in a nearby village. We could hear drumming and other noise until around midnight, which made it difficult to fully enjoy the camping experience.
Fortunately, the next day was much better. Since it was Sunday and many campers had checked out, we were finally able to experience the peace and serenity of the campground. The natural surroundings are beautiful, and the sound of the creek adds to the overall atmosphere.
Overall, we had a good stay and would recommend Sheep Creek Campground, especially for those visiting during less busy times. Better enforcement of quiet hours would make the experience even more enjoyable

It was a great campground. We were in #19 and #4. #19 was more private, and #4 had more open sky for star viewing.
