The Sunset Falls Campground was very well kept with campsites spaced well so you didn't feel like you were right up against the next site. The spaces were on the small side, even with the space between sites, and you do have to set up your tent in the approved camping space. The campground itself is small so you don't have large crowds to deal with. There are several access points to the river as well.

The campground is in the woods but on a traveled road so there was regular vehicle traffic. People drove very fast on the road, which increased road noise. On our first night someone drove down the road and open fired with a small firearm. We believe it was a .22 due to the sound. It was difficult to tell if they were firing into the campground or at the road signs. We didn't hear any bullets hit trees but it did present an unsafe environment. They were likely firing at the road signs as they did show old bullet holes.

Overall we enjoyed our stay and would return.

It was super chill with very few campers. Great waterfalls and easy hikes and walks around the campground.

We love this beautiful, quiet campground with easy access to amazing waterfalls and (cold) swimming holes. Such a great family spot.

It was a fun time, river was down below the hill side behind us but we were able to find our way down. Over all it was nice. When we go back we will try one of the first spots.

The outhouses were filthy and smelled horrible. The campgrounds were not full due to poor weather so it wasn't because there were too many people. Our campsite had not been cleaned and had dog poop and garbage in the grass on the dirt and in the fire pit. We've been coming to this campgrounds since 2012 and this is the first time I've seen it this way. We never once saw a camp host go by or stop to see how everything was and that was a first as well.

Not exactly as it looked online. Site 12 and 13 are almost on top of each other. I reserved lot 13 weeks in advance but when I arrived it appeared to be reserved for another family (according to the reservation sheets in front of each site). I spent 4 hours waiting for the host to show up at the host site but nope. So I finally selected a site that said available. I had purchased for 3 nights. On the morning of day 3 a group of 30 people came through and said they couldn’t find the host so the previous day they just picked lots they like and reserved those (even though you are only supposed to book online where you can see dates of available sites or you show up and pick an empty site). They just decided to claim some. I had been at the falls and returned to the site and they said they were trying to find the host so they could kick me out since they had paid (I paid too and I was actually the one using the site but apparently that doesn’t matter if you are outnumbered and there is no host to lay down the law). Nobody ever did see the host the 3 days I was there. And when I heard there were 30 people (“at least” since they were hoping others would come and they could just use the little grassy island and turn that public space into their private campground) I realized that was gonna be one crazy night anyway so I left early, though I paid for three nights.

The camp sites themselves are good. 11-16 are WALK IN! this was not very clear on the map. But they are more private too. You can get to the river from some sites but they are all steep pathways. 11 is very private. 6 is the most private from the drive up sites.

Lots to do in the Moulton Falls area. Not much to do at Sunset itself. Was very crowded so hard to find room on the river. Lots of litter. :(. Moulton was clean and tons to do but a 15 minute drive from Sunset.

I wouldn’t stay at Sunset again unless it actually had a host and was cleaner.

The campground was easy to locate, quiet, and clean. Our host was wonderful and helpful! We will absolutely be going back! Sunset Falls was super close by and easy to access. We definitely recommend staying her. Site 15 was tucked away, more private, and had wonderful sounds of the creek.
