Sunset Campground (CA)

Sunset campground was so beautiful, we were so excited for our stay here! Unfortunately our campsite, near the western ridge, was very close to another campsite. It would have been close quarters normally, but the neighbor was very loud, far past “quiet hours,” and made aggressive comments toward us throughout the night. There was no camp host to help us, and no one at the park offices or on the phone could give us any support, so we ultimately had to cut our stay short, and we traveled across the country to stay here. I really hope Kings Canyon and Sunset campground can improve so campers aren’t left without support in situations like these in the future, because it is a really beautiful and special place.

Love this camping spot, the view by the trees is beautiful and enough space to put a hammock there. Very close to the restrooms and pottable water which is nice. Would be perfect but the only spot to place the tent down is a bit at an incline so woke up a few times a night with my face pushed up against the tent. Also the campsite is a bit downhill from where you park your car so a lot of up and down. And lastly there seemed to be a lot of Yellowjackets but not sure if it was just that campsite or all of them. We love this site though and would book it again

Sunset is a beautiful campground located near Grant Grove, offering an easy walk to the village. There are incredible sunset views from a few of the campsites. The best views are from behind campsite 37, so do not reserve that campsite if you have a problem with company around sunset. Be sure to drive into Kings Canyon and over to Giant Forest. There is gas at Hume Lake and Stony Creek. There are no showers within a 45-minute drive, but Sunset does have flush toilets. I would not recommend Sunset for RVs, as there are very few campsites that are long and level. If you must bring such equipment, park in Lodgepole and use the free shuttle to see the trees. We camped in a truck camper.

This was an excellent spot that is very large and away from most other campers. We visited with a 30' trailer which fit nicely at this almost level site. We ran a generator but were able to put it about 70' away closer to the main road so as not to disturb anyone else; we could barely hear it while running. The campsite backs up to the main road but there is almost no road noise. It also backs up to the trails that go to the General Grant tree and to the Big Stump. Campground is huge but bathrooms are sparse, but still just a minute walk away, if needed. We visited in August after kiddies back in school, so no crowds at all. Also, if needed, you can get propane refills at the Hume Lake store about 15 min. away. Overall, great trip and we'll return in the future.

Great location, campsite was nice, lots of space for tent. We loved how we had enough space and our neighbors weren’t too close to us. Bathrooms were clean! Overall, great campground
