Sunset Campground (CA)

Beautiful campground. First time staying there. Sites are pretty small and too close to one another. Happy that the bathrooms were cleaned daily.

Spent 2 nights at site 50, had a memorable time with my family. Loved the beautiful sunset views. Proximity to trails and village was great too.

We were at camp 98 had a great time ,unfortunately the camp was on a slope which made sleeping a little uncomfortable. Besides that it was fantastic.

Restrooms were clean. Campers were quiet and respectful. Sunsets were spectacular. Liked that there was a 1 mile trail direct from the amphitheater to the General Grant grove. Also nice that the general store and a restaurant were right across the street. Road work caused delays to/from the main portion of Sequoia, so we only did one day there. At least Sunset campground is convenient to Kings Canyon. Prices at the restaurant seemed a bit high, and the food quality was hit or miss. Liked the pizza. Did not care for the burger. Wings were so-so. Prices at the general store were fair. Would have liked the amphitheater to have been open. Would have liked more ranger walks/talks.

Fue nuestra primera visita a Sequoia & Kings Canyon NP y nos encantó. Solo disponíamos de 2 días y dos noches para visitar el parque y elegimos Sunset Campground pues estaba en un punto intermedio de nuestro intinerario. Ingresamos a la mañana temprano por el sur del parque, ruta 198 - Foothills Visitor Ceneter And Park Headquarters - recorriendo la ruta Generals Highway hacia el norte. Hicimos varias paradas en el camino (Giant Forest Museum, Moro Rock, General Sherman Tree, etc.), llegando a Kings Canyon Visitor Center and Grant Grove Village a la tarde. Acampamos en Sunset Campground, parcela 092. Al día siguiente aracanmos tempranito hacia el final de la ruta Kings Canyon Scenic Byway, que tiene bellisimas vistas panorámicas. En Boyden Cave hicimos una excursión en una caverna muy interesante. Luego seguimos hasta el final de la ruta donde hicimos una pequeña caminata costeando el río South Fork Kings, bellisimo! Alli elegimos un sector del río playo y con aguas bajas para meternos río y refrescarnos un poco en un día tan caluroso en verano. A la vuelta esa tarde antes de llegar al campamento hicimos otra parada en General Grant Tree: super recomendable.
En general nuestra experiencia fue hermosa, pensando en regresar en un futuro para poder recorrer la infinidad de caminitos dentro del parque.
Recomendación si vas en verano: sombrero, lentes de sol, protector solar y tomar mucho líquido (si bien es zona montañosa las temperaturas siguen siendo elevadas y el sol muy intenso).

Great spot but not sure if it was good or bad that I did not see one ranger for the Park. I had a few questions but not that big of a deal. I will be back!
