Beautiful Forest but the camp sites are sooo tiny and very close together, this campsite seems to be frequented by people who’s idea of camping is to sneak 3 times more people than the site is supposed to have, bring AS MUCH of your stuff that you possibly can and make noise all night long. This is supposed to be bear county and I saw half a dozen CAMP SHOWER TENTS set up, people dumping the food filled water from coolers on the ground, guys urinating in the middle on camp sites. EVERYTHING you could imagine being wrong with a campsite, this is it. Saw a ranger drive by while a guy saw urinating 10 feet from the road and NOTHING from the ranger, just kept driving. Do the same when looking for a good place to camp, just keep driving. Clearly all these five stars review are from the people bringing ALL their stuff, so they can party in the woods. And shame on the Park Service for allowing all this to happen. But still a beautiful place to visit.

Sunset campground is one of our favorite destinations! Our campsite was perfect. We actually stayed at the same site last summer and loved it so much we were stoked to learn it was available when we were going to be there this year. It has a flat surface for our tent and the grill grate over the fire ring and picnic table made for great meals each evening as we enjoyed the beautiful painted sky during the sunset. The Sunset Trail trailhead is just a short walk from camp as is Grants Grove and Grants Village. Sunset Campground makes a great home base for exploring the abundance of trails and nature in Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks!

This campsite is very close to the ranger park and gift shop and you don't need to worry about Ice or... I love it and I am going back there soon

Very convenient to Grant's Grove, and a lovely campground overall. More light and noise (RV generators and road) than my preference, but an expected trade-off given the accessibility and amenities.
