Sunset Campground (CA)

#7 is close to the entrance and the bathroom. Although our neighbors' tents seem to be quite close to us, I think it is the same throughout the Sunset campground. We enjoyed our stay! Will definitely come back again.

Such a good site. Close to the restroom and water. I had such a great time. Beautiful site to stargaze and watch the sunset! Will come back here again.

Beautiful clean campgrounds and bathrooms

Campground is really wonderful. We had site #50 which had an amazing view, especially for sunsets, and privacy, though not very level for tent camping and the parking spot is shared with site #49 so our cars were kind of on top of each other. Highly recommend visiting the giant sequoias near Sunset Campground versus going all the way to see General Sherman as they're equally spectacular and giant, much easier to get to and not inundated with tourists. Also Hume Lake was a fantastic and worthwhile day trip especially for young kids. They could safely swim and play in the water at the sandy shore area.

Campsites at Sunset can vary wildly. One thing they typically have in common is sloping tent sites. We were able to barely fit our tent in the flattest area we could find above our fire ring. However, it was in full sun so if you are camping at this site in the summer, be prepared to be hot. The sunset views are quite good, but the views are blocked somewhat by trees, which didn't bother us. What did bother us was the swarm of yellow jackets that dominated our site from dawn to dusk. We couldn't figure out whether there was a nest nearby because other sites did not seem to have a problem. Another thing that bothered us about the campground was how full the dumpsters were. They were overflowing and never did we see services come to empty the bins during our 3 days there. If you wanted the views, I'd recommend Site 103 over 102, which was higher up on the hill, seemed to have a flat site, and potentially fewer yellowjackets.
