This is within easy walking distance of Grant Grove Village. The campground itself is large with plenty of space between sites and easily accessible water. Some of the spaces are not level and difficult to negotiate. Any RV over about 25’ may be a challenge. I did not see any hosts nor was the check in building manned. Looks like there is no way to get a spot without a reservation. CG is very clean and well maintained. Lots of deer! Nice central spot within Kings Canyon.

I have camped at several NPS campgrounds and this campground was not quite up to par. Site 128 was actually great and I would recommend it if you are tent camping at Sunset. You have a great amount of space behind you as you are on an outer loop, your neighbors are not so close that you can hear their conversations, and you are a decent proximity to water and the bathroom. The drawback is that you are close to the highway so you have traffic noise in the morning. The campground is small and quite crowded during peak season and there is no camp host or ranger around in the evenings. This creates a situation where people are free to party until midnight because there is no enforcement of the rules. The NPS would make so much money if they made rounds at 10pm with warnings, then returned at 10:30 to write citations. If they did this, they would have money to better maintain the bathrooms. If I were to do this trip all over again, I would camp at Lodgepole in Sequoia. I'm not sure it would be much better but I won't be returning to Sunset.

Sequoia is a beautiful place for family camping. So many trails to visit that 4 days of camping is not enough. Will go back again soon.

It is a nice spot, next to the visitor center. Sometimes weak reception.
