If you are wanting quiet and a back to nature experience do not camp at Sunset. Our site was so close to both sides of other campsites . Our neighboring site had five tents up and two canopies over two picnic tables and a shower tent. This was all on a site for two tents. Also four adults and seven children and two dogs were all next door screaming and talking and blowing up mattresses until 12:30am. No one polices the situation that we were aware to make sure that campers follow camp
Regulations. Sadly , we cancelled our two other nights at Sunset and camped elsewhere. The noise and smoke from so many campfires was disturbing and hard to breathe. Having dogs tied up at night seems like bait waiting for a mountain lion. Your experience may be different than ours but this was ours for that one night. The park is gorgeous and the facilities at Grant Grove are excellent.

Great location to stay if looking for a place to camp the day before backpacking. Close to store and visitor center. Sites have all the luxuries of car camping (water spigot, flush toilets, bear lockers, etc.). If I was staying multiple nights, I'd be sure to reserve a site with some shade.

We were at site 100. Its a picturesque site for the scenery and offers good privacy. The campsite did have a slope to it with bedrock popping out at key spots which made it a bit uncomforable for our 10-person tent. half the tent was at a slope and the airbed kept slipping to the edges of the tent and the occupants were bunching up a bit during the night.
The bathrooms were not clean but that is sort of expected in a public campground. Be warned, one of the restrooms had a door (the main door to the mens restrooms) that would not open from the inside! I do not know why. I had to ask for a passing camper to open the door from the outside to let me out.
The rangers and the surrounding store and restaurants were good.
