Getting there: A long drive on windy roads behind people generally doing 10mph under the speed limit. Take your time because you sure wont be able to rush. Once inside the campground the road looks more like a lunar landscape with more potholes than pavement. 
Campsites:  The group campsites are fairly spacious and easily fit 15 of us, they are rated to hold 20 people but that might be a bit of a squeeze. All the campsites provide 3 picnic benches, 3 bear boxes (not enough so be weary of how many coolers you have), and only one fire pit with grill grate. Trying to get 15 people around a single fire pit and still within range of the warmth was a major issue. There are shared restroom areas with full plumbing and potable water through the campsite. This campsite was also really, really far away from most of the stuff we wanted to do, I would NOT stay at this campsite again. WARNING: The rangers here are asshats. They were constantly patrolling and searching for a reason to write us a ticket (-1 star). They gave us 3 warnings the first day of our stay for BS nit picky reason (we don't want to put our shit in the bear bin when we are sitting around snacking on it you dick).
The Park: Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Park were nice but everything you want to do is at least an hour drive each way on windy roads. Kind of a pain. 
What to do: Go out on some hikes, there are a ton of trails. Go see the giant Sequoias, either General Sherman or General Grant. Go explore some caves, they are awesome.

I came here extra early to get this site because it is a first come first serve thing. The campsite I got was great. There was restrooms fire rings and tables. At night you have to store your food in the bear box because there are bears in this area. It was 18 dollars a night

Sequoia is one of the most underrated parks. It’s is an incredible place. The moment you’re on that winding highway and see the reddish color of a sequoia tree, the feeling is unspeakable.

This Park has everything you need, from food, trails, and views. It’s is incredible to spend a weekend or a week here. I’ve been to redwood and sequoia and sequoia has won me over. The trees are not only MASSIVE in height but also around. The campground is clean and well organized. VISIT SEQUIOA!

SEQUIOA might be better than Redwoods 

Threse are group sites, and they are ample in space and amenities. There are four group sites available and they are currently 2018 renovating some of the sites.

Flush toilets and water spigots throughout the campsites. The road within the campsites is not very good.

Sunny, larger sites

We booked this campground for a family vacation it was everything we hoped for. The site could easily accommodate 20 people. Each site had 4 bear boxes which was plenty for our group. Bathrooms were kept clean. It is at the bottom of the canyon so if you want to do the activities up in Sequoia National Park it is about a 2 hr drive each way. This did not bother us as we just enjoyed the views. The campground was quiet at about 8:30 each night. We would definitely stay here again
