There was a huge tree on the ground right behind our campsite, #105, & the kids had a lot of fun climbing it

This campground is one of my favorite. I have been camping here for over 35 years. It is always well taken care of and very clean facilities. I always really enjoy my time here. I will be back again next year.

We love Grant Grove and Sunset is a beautiful campground. However, site 156 should be removed from the map! There is no level ground (steep hillside) for a tent and our small motor home was basically parked on the road. There was no pull off parking pad. None! Luckily, neighbors alerted us to an empty site next to them and we pulled in there for the night to keep from getting hit. Seriously, 156 is no more than a picnic site, if that.

This is a heavily trafficked campground whose wildlife has been negatively impacted by human interactions. Bears cruise though the site every night setting off car alarms and looking for food in the fire pits. A woman was feeding a group of young buck deer white bread while we there and when asked to stop by many campers she got irate. Campers here could use more education about leave no trace camping techniques and our responsibilities to keep animals in the parks wild. The group of deer raided an unattended tent site and had to be chased off. This campground needs better dish washing facilities for so much animal interaction. At our area 166 there was only a spigot and huge dumpsters. Not very user friendly to make zero trace cleanup easy. This campground’s adjacency to the Tokopaw waterfall trail is amazing and there are great swimming holes right in the campground
