Great campground with lots of water spigots, clean bathrooms, and a dishwashing sink. Bear proofed dumpsters are conveniently located throughout and bear boxes are at every site. The general location is perfect, close to the market and gift shop, and the view of the sunset is astonishing. Highly recommend!

We were at campsite 40 and I could not recommend this spot more! Amazing views of the sunset and cool spots to explore around the site. If you are looking for a good day hike I recommend the Great Lakes Trail to Lake Heather. A bit of a drive to the trailhead (about 50 minutes) but I promise the views were worth it!

Excellent location with gorgeous sunset views in the evening. The visitor's center, market, gift shop, and restaurant are within walking distance or a very short drive from the campground. We hiked from Sunset Camp to Grant Grove and the North Grove Trail to see the giant sequoias. We also visited Buck Rock Lookout and Panoramic Point. I would recommend a four-wheel drive vehicle to get up to the Buck Rock Lookout, as the dirt road leading up to the site is a bit rough. I recommend visitors wear sturdy shoes when visiting and/or hiking any of these locations. We enjoyed beautiful sunsets from Campsite #40, and gorgeous sunrises at Panoramic Point.

Had a wonderful time visiting Kings Canyon & Sequoia with my family for the first time. Site 40 is one of the more sought after sites due to being on the west rim with the sunset each night. The only negative was that the picnic table to site 38 is literally about 6 feet from your own picnic table. A bit too close for comfort for me, but luckily we had a nice family next to us who was gone all day and went to bed early. Also, beware of the yellow jackets. They came out when we cooked breakfast and dinner and were hovering on everything. Next time I will bring a screened dining tent. Otherwise the view and sunset were great despite it being smoky from the fire up north and the stargazing was fantastic.
