Sheep Creek Campground

This campground was very clean & close to a lot of points of interest in Kings Canyon. Being close to the river was also a plus.

Campsite was clean when we arrived. All rivers we went to were peaceful. Not too many campers which was a plus for me. Only one thing I had a concern is the bathroom do not have light at night. Solar lights at least outside restroom. It's dark after 9pm. My opinion.

The campsite is quiet and by the river. There is no problem with the campsite. The website to reserve a campsite, however, was quite difficult to use. We had to set a timer 30 days before we wanted to go and be on the website right at midnight when a campsite became available because the website lists all sites reserved for up to 30 days. But when we got to the actual location (30 days later)- 80% of all the campsites were empty but had "reserved" signs on them. So what the reservation website is listing is incorrect information. And "no-shows" need to be penalized financially for not canceling so that people who want to camp are able to get a site if it is not occupied. The park no longer allows walk-up camping so we could not just drive in and find a site. Online reservation is required and you have to reserve 30 days in advance. But at the location, the whole campground was basically empty either because the website makes it so difficult to reserve or because over 20 families decided not to show up that week. Someone needs to be more attentive to the user experience for reserving sites online. And make it expensive to not show up since it robs others of a chance to stay in the park.

Been coming here 43 years! Awesome place! Always worth it! Only thing I would ask is for visitors to cancel their reservations online if they can’t make it, so that more campsites are available to those who can make it and want a great campsite; otherwise park system should consider going back to first come first serve. We were there this month (August) and over 75% of the campsites (Sheep Creek) said reserved but were unoccupied for at least the week we were there but showed as reserved online. Keeping Sentinel campground on reservation only I can see continuing- I understand reservation only has its benefits, but a return to first come first serve for Sheep Creek & Moraine would make more sense.

The rangers were fabulous and the campsite was clean and in good repair. 10/10 would stay here again.
