Sunset Campground
Sunset Campground is at Grant Grove near the entrance to Kings Canyon National Park. Campsites are spread through a mixed conifer forest. The campground makes an excellent basecamp for visiting Cedar Grove, Hume Lake, and, of course, all the attractions in Grant Grove. There are also two Group Camps for mid-size groups. All campsites now require reservations.
With 157 campsites, Sunset Campground is the largest campground at Grant Grove. Campsites are fairly well separated, but without much ground foliage to offer privacy between sites. The Sunset Trail connects the campground with the nearby amphitheater and with Grant Grove Village (about ¼ mile). Vehicles over 22-feet long should enter the parks via Highway 180.
You can purchase your park entrance pass in advance online and save time at the entrance gate: Park Entrance Pass.
Sunset Group Camps
Sunset Group Campsites are for groups from 15 to 30 people. These are two tent-only sites in the campground, designated A and B. Reservations are available from late May to the end of September, up to 4 months in advance. Check-in and check-out time is noon.
Each campsite has 3 picnic tables, a fire ring, and 2 bear-proof food storage boxes.
