Sunset Campground (CA)

Very pretty and good location. RV spot was a bit tight. Only complaint was no generator hours until 9:00 AM. Too late to start coffee and get going.

clean and nice flat

Perfect location for seeing both Kings Canyon and Sequoia! Campground was not full. As the name indicates, the campground was great for viewing sunsets. The main drawback was the placement of the tables and fire rings in each site. They placed the fire rings and tables too close to neighboring sites and it felt like we were encroaching on the people next to us.

Sunset Campground was incredible, our spot (41) was absolutely the best spot in the entire campsite when it comes to seeing the sunset every night. We didn’t mind the company, but be warned that if you have a spot along the ridge you will have a lot of people walking through your campsite every night. Plenty of bathrooms spread out with flush toilets and sinks. If you have spare time go to Boyden caverns right outside of kings canyon it was such a cool experience. Also PLEASE make the drive into the canyon, it’s long and windy but so incredibly worth it.

Great campsite

I had read negative reviews and didn’t pay them any heed, but they were accurate with a good amount. This campground is Rowdy with a capital R. We were there 2 days, never saw a park ranger. If felt like the entire campground was a college spring break with the noise level well into the night. I love camping out in National Parks for the peaceful nature, and while the campground itself was beautiful, the atmosphere was anything but peaceful. Campsites pretty close together, but this site had rocks and trees behind it to offer privacy and kids enjoyed climbing. Close to a bathroom and flat for tent with shade. Bathrooms were small so there would be a line, wish they had soap. Overall it wasn’t a terrible experience, but it’s probably not a campground I would stay at again. I think this is the first National Park campground I’ve stayed at without any park rangers on site, and I feel like that made a big difference.

Good stuff.

Camp Rangers were not present or enforcing rules which led to disrespectful campers being loud and not staying in their sites. Site boundaries are undefined and it’s hard to know where your site ends and the next begins. We showed up and there were tents in our site from the campers next door to us.

It was a great experience. The campsite had good shade and good view of sunset, restrooms were clean and the store and trails nearby.

Very clean. Respectful campers. Lovely views
