Sunset Campground (CA)

I was in space #32. There was no flat ground. Everything was tilted. Because of that, cooking was slow, and sleeping in our tent was awkward.
I love the park. This campground is great. The site that I stayed at, not so much. I will definitely return.

Terrible site. No shade after about 10am, site is not flat so your tent will be at an angle, and apparently the view is so good people randomly walk into/thru your site to check out the sunset.

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).

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.
