Great site next to a small meadow and perfect distance to clean bathroom (with dishwashing and drain) as well as water. Loved having lots of big trees around.

We loved our stay at Sunset. Big spots and well located to visit General Grant and Kings Canyon

Clean, quiet, beautiful sunset, hence the name.

Close to the toilets. Can be a bit noisy at night since its the closest one to the road.Good shade.
@KentDD96ADC553 · Camped on Jun 1, 2025 at Campsite #122
Very good spot. It gets pretty crowded but luckily no one reserved next to us. There's water and the restrooms have water.

The sunset was amazing

Very clean campsite and clean restrooms.
@ClaraZ2CF72CED · Camped on May 30, 2025 at Campsite #63
The grill for site 63 is broken, just a heads up. The campground itself is okay the but the sites are close together, the bathroom has flushable toilets and light at night which is nice. Absolutely no cell service
@Alexander70834 · Camped on May 29, 2025 at Campsite #31
Great campground, good access to Sequoia and King's Canyon. Nicely spaced out sites, facilities were clean, great experience.

The boundaries are not clear where the group sites end but it is more spacious than the single sites.

Horrendous camping experience here. This campsite is downwind of two other campsites situated at slightly higher elevations. The campers at both of those sites had camp fires and one site used some type of pre-treated wood or chemical to enable wood to burn longer. But the fumes from their camp fires were blowing into my tent and overwhelming. I was gagging and choking in my tent and had to remove the rain fly (loss of privacy) in order to get rid of the smoke and fumes and it still triggered an asthma attack. A warning should be placed at this campsite that it is downwind of adjacent campsites and will be innundated with smoke and camp fires fumes, which will be a breathing hazard for more sensitive people. This was the worst experience I've ever had camping at a national park.

Spacious campsites and gorgeous sunset views! Facilities were very clean.

Wunderschner Platz im Wald, ruhig und friedlich.

@DianaKA913AF93 · Camped on Aug 31, 2024 at Campsite #27
Odd shaped lot. Parking spot is narrow and short even for sedans. Very close to neighboring site. Pros: close to bathroom Cons: close to bathroom. People constantly coming and flushing toilets. Bathroom isnt lit at night and no sink for wastewater. Campsite is close to Grant Grove visitor center which has wifi
@jesuso4E5B8FFA · Camped on Aug 24, 2024 at Campsite #94
Pictures on Website are not accurate at all. 94 site had no privacy and 90% of trees have been cut down. Restrooms were close by but very dirty. Mens urinal was so dirty and looked like it has cleaned been cleaned in months. No Host at entrance to welcome you.
@KelvinABAE8C8C · Camped on Aug 24, 2024 at Campsite #11
Love the group camp site will be using it again
@MariaP8100980 · Camped on Jun 29, 2024 at Campsite #122
We had an amazing first camping experience at Sunset Campgrounds site #122. We drove in at 12pm and soon after setting up we were greeted by camp rangers and they gave us the campground rules and helpful tips. Our campground was very spacious and right next to the Viola Falls hiking Trail. The womens bathroom were kept clean but heard the mens was not. The only downside to this campground was that it was really full and people were being noisy and using power tools to cut wood after hours. Overall, we had a great stay and will come back again.
@TaylorM1216535 · Camped on Jun 28, 2024 at Campsite #102
Site 102 is not suitable if sleeping in your car
@MaritessGBE50D · Camped on Jun 28, 2024 at Campsite #146
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.

Great location. Next to restroom and water
@DavidR6871281 · Camped on Jun 27, 2024 at Campsite #74
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.
@NicoleE1864413 · Camped on Jun 24, 2024 at Campsite #67
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 isnt 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 didnt 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 Sequoias attractions (45-60min drive) and the edge of Kings Canyon (60min drive). Plus you cant beat the sunsets here!

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
