Sunset Campground (CA)

Nestled near a visitor center, this picturesque campground offers a serene setting for nature lovers. Situated close to a scenic hiking trail leading to the majestic Grant Tree, it provides the perfect base for outdoor enthusiasts looking to explore the beauty of the surrounding area.

Site #146 stands out as a spacious, mostly flat, and elevated spot within the campground. With ample room to accommodate 2 tents comfortably, it can easily fit up to 5-6 2-person tents, making it ideal for larger groups or families. Positioned on a hill with only 2 sites, it offers a sense of seclusion and tranquility compared to the sites located below.

However, the ladies' bathroom near Site #146 leave something to be desired. With only 2 stalls available, the lack of working lights and hooks for bags can be inconvenient for campers. Additionally, the sinks do not provide any space to place personal items, requiring visitors to carry their belongings while using the facilities.

This is a beautiful campground and needs to be better looked after by patrons and park personnel. Not all campground rules followed by some patrons. Safety issues…Campfires still visibly lit/smoldering/smoking in fire pits while campsite is vacant. Camp etiquette… loud music played in neighboring campsite that the whole campground could hear until 11pm. Neighboring campers walking straight through your campsite ( without any acknowledgment) to go explore or watch the sunset.

All in all please respect the safety and experience of others.

We all come here to share this amazing place.

The campground is clean and well maintained. Spot 67 has a large/long parking pad that was able to accommodate our 16ft tent trailer (23ft open length) as well as our truck. We had some minor issues backing it in to the spot due to the angle and lack of space in front of the parking pad. I would beware if your setup is bigger than ours, but if have a lot of confidence in your parking abilities you might be fine. The campsite is very flat and would accommodate several large tents. There isn’t a lot of privacy in this spot since most of your space runs right along the road through the campground, but there is decent shade. You are close to the entrance/exit but that didn’t add much extra noise. The flush toilets were clean. There is a kitchen sink located at each bathroom, and there are plenty of water spigots throughout the campground. There are no showers in the campground. We saw deer in the campground and did not encounter any bears during our stay. The Visitor Center is a quarter mile walk and very convenient with a small market and gift shop. This is a great campground to access Sequoia’s attractions (45-60min drive) and the edge of Kings Canyon (60min drive). Plus you can’t beat the sunsets here!

Great location. Next to restroom and water

Great spot with shade, water spout right across and close to bathrooms. A few trees of trees, picnic table, fire pit. Was able to hang the hammock, which was amazing. This was probably one of the flatter and larger spots thankfully but there was the tiniest incline when we slept, and would slow a tiny bit even tho it looks flat. All of the sites are very close together. I saw some other sites had more shade but this was pretty great. Would camp here again in a heartbeat.

Our campsite was on a slope which was not great for the tent. Some of our neighbors were noisy. But otherwise lovely view and scenery. Woud pick another campsite next time.
