My family and I really enjoyed ourselves at sunset campground. I would be prepared for no reception anywhere nearby. It’s around the corner from the visitors center which has a little convenience store and restaurant which was super convenient! Very green, very beautiful. I’d highly recommend to bring lots of board games and plan out your trip in advance so you can explore as much as possible. Also, bring hand soap for the bathrooms!

nearby restroom... no hand dryer or soap dispenser. Faucet spun around wildly, quite loose. Park requested washing at restroom wash sink and not the fresh water supply spigots, well... the wash basin didn't exist therefore we used the water spigot to rinse dishes. First time ever, we had to share
the parking spot with others, no privacy or isolation, could here every word of conversation around us. Really??? With unlimited land the campsite
had to be so close together , worse I've ever encounter. After viewing giant Sequoia trees we decided to leave on third day and take to financial loss
for the last days stay. National park is wonderful but campsite is another matter. Oh..... they were filling road cracks with liquid tar and closed down
an entire campground for several days... those poor folks who had planned well in advance got screwed. Fortunately, it's 'that' campground we were able to park in to see Sequoia trees. Parking was OK but not for those who had reservations to camp... Very poor planning, peak of the season.

National Park Service has lost all control of this campground. Camping at Sight 91 in July allowed for an awesome sunset but other people had no regard for other campers! Kids on scooters at 6:30 am to go to the restroom, as well as racing them down hills on both sides of the site, vehicles often exceeding 15 mph, vehicles being driven off-road in campsites, vehicles being parked in the dirt, too many people and excessive tents on many of the sites. The best part was NPS staff was virtually non-existent throughout my three-day stay. In years past we camped with family in Cedar Grove and the harassment from NPS was over the top, not it seems that anything goes at this location. Bring earplugs at a minimum! Needless to say, I will not be back at this location. I have been camping for 60+ years, this was by far the worst NPS experience.

Many parking spots are not level, so bring levelers if you have an RV to sleep in.

We really liked this Campground it was very convenient to everything and we especially loved the fact just 8 miles a way was Lake Hume. The Campground was also walking distance to a gift shop, market, and restaurant. It was very shady and so beautiful among the Sequoia trees.
