Bush blocking neighbors on one side, other campsites nearby are cramped but we had a low turnout of people around us. Really nice view of some trees, quiet and enjoyable

My campsite was great--large with few neighbors.
But I'm hesitant to return to Sunset. The campground is high density. Most campsites are small and very close to others.
The only good aspect of that is there were very few RVs so it looked and felt like an campground rather than an RV park.
Also, having a sunset view campsite means many people will walk through your site about sundown.
The campground was surprisingly quiet at night. I don't know if that is a characteristic or just luck on my part.

Campsites at Sunset can vary wildly. One thing they typically have in common is sloping tent sites. We were able to barely fit our tent in the flattest area we could find above our fire ring. However, it was in full sun so if you are camping at this site in the summer, be prepared to be hot. The sunset views are quite good, but the views are blocked somewhat by trees, which didn't bother us. What did bother us was the swarm of yellow jackets that dominated our site from dawn to dusk. We couldn't figure out whether there was a nest nearby because other sites did not seem to have a problem. Another thing that bothered us about the campground was how full the dumpsters were. They were overflowing and never did we see services come to empty the bins during our 3 days there. If you wanted the views, I'd recommend Site 103 over 102, which was higher up on the hill, seemed to have a flat site, and potentially fewer yellowjackets.

overall great site! very close to i think 78 (cars park in a double spot together) so you’ll probably get to know your neighbors so keep that in mind. much better than 105 though which was so bad we booked and moved to this one. good tree cover and spot for tent

this site is SO small and honestly nonexistent with 5 other sites next to it that all basically coincide. since we were the last ones to arrive of the 4 nearby sites we had little space and anyone even talking quietly across any campsite projected to all other sites since it is a quiet side of the camp (but ends up not being). would definitely book a different site number, or hopefully you get lucky and the other ones nearby aren’t booked (doubtful). we ended up going to the lodge to get service and booking the last available site so we could move.
