Sunset Campground — Kings Canyon National Park
Reviewed Jun. 8, 2021

Premium California Camping

The name says it all. This campsite was a majestic experience for being surrounded by huge pines and sunsets you have to experience- photos do them no justice. Campers were very respectful and nighttime brought a soothing silence with very little noise and partying. Everyone gathers to see the sunset and it gave a sense of community and a true appreciation of nature. Drives and hikes to nearby tree parks made it easy to visit some of the largest trees in the U.S. There’s a Grant Grove market and visitors center just across from the campground entrance. There’s also a cafe that you can grab cooked food in case you arrive late and just want to relax. Restrooms were clean. Showers were out at the time of our visit, but it wasn’t a big deal. Large boulders and huge fallen trees provided plenty of places to sit or bask in the sun and also stargaze. You can see the lights of Fresno wayyy in the distance at night depending on which side of the campground you are on. Definitely saving this for an annual attempt to nab a campsite.
