Sunset Campground (CA)

Absolutely gorgeous backdrop, shade with trees, firepit, great proximity to visitor center, … even a skirmish with a camping neighbor(s) conflicting over areas was handled with kindness and professionally.

Sequoia NP itself is absolutely amazing!! The campground is functional. It’s close to the store and restaurant, but there is no walking trail to get there. Sites are really just set up for tents. Not level for small RVs like ours. There is a manned gated entrance during the day, which gives a false sense of management and security. At night, the 6 young people at the site next to ours were very loud with partying, talking and loud music… until after 1am. Another camper complained to the ranger station the next day, but nothing was done and it continued every night after their return from hiking at about 8/9 pm. We did, however, witness the spectacle of a tow truck removing one of their 3 cars from their site at about 7 am. It was a pretty loud affair, but the partiers didn’t wake from their slumber in their 3 tents on their one site. We pulled out before they woke up so didn’t get to see the rest of the show. We also camped at Stony Creek, which was quieter, but not very welcoming as the camp hosts had big signs at their campsite saying, “Beware of Dog”! Needless to say, we didn’t bother them.

Campground was excellent! It has a great location right across the street from a visitor center and market. Clean facilities and rangers came around occasionally. Site 66 was great and close to the entrance. The neighboring sites seemed to have the front part and 66 was set in the back near a cute meadow where we could see deer in the evening. There is a nice flat area for a tent and trees close together for a hammock. We can’t wait to go back!

Beautiful area, clean and relatively quiet (after 10 pm). Loved the view! Close to hiking trails and Grant Grove Village.

The ease of using recreation.gov was very helpful in selecting which campground and campsite to stay at. I elected to go with Sunset Campground site 125. Campsite was near water and restrooms. Level site with lots of room. My experience at Sequoia and Kings Canyon was fantastic

Very clean and easy to find. Close to the general store and market which made getting ice and supplies super easy. Would recommend to anyone camping first time in sequoia national forest. Camp sites were a little close together but other than that it was a great experience. The sunsets were amazing every night, now I know why it’s called sunset camp ground.
