First time here, Great experience, beautiful scenery. Like other reviews, noisy neighbors can happen. We lucked out and only had one day of loud, obnoxious neighbors, Amenities are close by and something to do for everyone. Camp sites 106/107.

This camp is in a very nice location. It is at walking distance to the mini store, gift shop and cell signal for that emergency call or text ( forget about your phone unless you absolutely need to) and a bit over a mile from General Grant Tree. Restrooms are well kept and camp overall super clean and organized. Had a blast there. No complains here.

Great sites. Not enough staffing, but that's not up to the park, so they can't be blamed. Lots of hikes, wood at the camp store, friendly rangers.

I’ll start by saying we got very lucky with getting the site that we did in a last minute effort to camp in Sequoia/Kings Canyon area while on a road trip. It’s called Sunset for a reason, but during the day is very hot in the summer. The sites in the upper loop have a great view, but as others have stated, be prepared for people to walk right through your campsite without asking or saying a word to get out to the rocks around sunset. These areas are of prime interest and although we had a time lapse set up, a hammock in the trees, wet clothes drying on the downed trees, and chairs out, people just walked right on through our site and stepped over our things. We also noticed people taking over the bathrooms in the evenings to change with their beauty products everywhere- again, pretty odd. Never experienced this anywhere else and we’ve camped all over the US. Luckily there’s a sink outside the restrooms and we could wash hands or brush teeth out there (as well as do dishes). There are two flush toilets per restroom and no showers at this campground. The closest showers are about an hour away at Cedar Grove, although they seemed pretty busy when we visited that area. The campground is very close to a camp store/market, a not so great restaurant & lodge, and a visitors center as well as a short drive from a few trails. As far as maintenance, the trash was overflowing and the bathrooms seemed like they had maybe been cleaned once in the three days we spent there. Some sites were spaced out like ours while others seemed very very close quarters, so look at reviews before booking.

One of the nicest camp ground we have been at, bathrooms were very clean and the camp ground was well maintained. The weather was great..but it filled up fast..must have reserved your spots

Great camp site. Stayed here while visiting the parks. Big sites, bear box and fire ring with grill at each site. Gets cold up here at night, even in summer so pack your thermals. Highly recommend. Hope to be back soon!

Very nice campground but would never want to visit when full. Would be very noisy & packed in w little privacy. Virtually empty Aug 25, 2021. Good location to explore North end of NP. Staff at check in not helpful with reservation/site changes. Do not choose #74. Steep slope, little shade, only enough level ground for small tent. Should not even be listed as campsite.

The sites are VERY close together. But as long as you're not going to spend much time at base camp you'll be fine. Be advised there are NO shower facilities, though there are flush toilets. There is also water available by the bucket at various faucets throughout. No hookups for trailers. The camp is on a spring system and water is severely limited right now throughout CA. With that said, the pressure at the faucets was still fantastic. PLEASE DO NOT WASH ANYTHING AT THESE FAUCETS, that's just rude. Take yr water back to yr camp and do your cleaning there. Had a great time!

One of my favorite campsites on the south part of Kings Canyon National Park. There are some great large boulders that one can climb on and set up for astrophotography. They have clean bathrooms with running water and light. The sites offer good privacy with a lot of shade throughout the campground.

Had a fabulous time. Keep in mind you need to pay to get into the national forest before you go. We forgot, but ended up getting an annual parks pass. No fires are permitted as of July 1st for the summertime, so plan accordingly. We enjoyed high of mid 70’s to low 60’s while there last week. Such a lovely campsite. :)
