Sunset is a beautiful campground located near Grant Grove, offering an easy walk to the village. There are incredible sunset views from a few of the campsites. The best views are from behind campsite 37, so do not reserve that campsite if you have a problem with company around sunset. Be sure to drive into Kings Canyon and over to Giant Forest. There is gas at Hume Lake and Stony Creek. There are no showers within a 45-minute drive, but Sunset does have flush toilets. I would not recommend Sunset for RVs, as there are very few campsites that are long and level. If you must bring such equipment, park in Lodgepole and use the free shuttle to see the trees. We camped in a truck camper.
Good

My campsite was great--large with few neighbors.But I'm hesitant to return to Sunset. The campground is high density. Most campsites are small and very close to others.The only good aspect of that is there were very few RVs so it looked and felt like an campground rather than an RV park.Also, having a sunset view campsite means many people will walk through your site about sundown.The campground was surprisingly quiet at night. I don't know if that is a characteristic or just luck on my part.

Excellent campground. Although the bathrooms could have been cleaner. Other than that it was great

We got the best site (#35) at the campground to watch the sunset and the moon. The only bad thing is, you can see the city lights from Fresno. The bathrooms need to be cleaned better. They were smelly and not well maintain by the maintenance crew.

The location of Sunset Campground is very nice, within walking distance to general store and visitors center. Restrooms have flush toilets and electricity. However, the campground was pack with people. They put way too many sites in this campground so you will not have any privacy. Several sites have the picnic tables very close to each other. To me, this is not a good campground to stay for couple of reasons: a) fire hazard if people need to pack and leave their site b) no privacy.
Some Coverage

This is an exceptional site. There is plenty of space between the next two sites and the back half opens up to an amazing view. Water is straight across from the parking spot. Plenty of morning and evening shade. Not much mid day protection though.
