Other than that the campgrounds was great. I love the fact the market is reasonably priced. They have a Cafe, showers, cleaner restrooms, and a laundry facility. The campsite was beautiful. Not too many bugs. Everywhere you looked it was beautiful. There's lots of campsites nearby but not too close. Our campsite was 202, right behind the large rock and pretty close to the river. It was nice hearing the rush of water throughout the day. The bathroom was close enough except for during the the night. Knowing that bears are in the area made it really scary going in the middle of the night. Wear a headlamp, it's much better than a flashlight. The shuttle will come inside the campgrounds and pick you up near the restrooms in the main parking lot. There are a few trails for hiking (which we didn't have time to do). I do recommend if traveling with another family to work out the food situation because there's only one bear box per site. One large cooler can fir or two smaller ones. One large and one small cooler will not fit in the box. ALL food, snack, even perfume, & body spry should be put into the bear box.

Really beautiful area to camp at. Right next to the Three rivers. There is plenty to do every day:…read morehiking, fishing, dipping in the many pools. We've been here multiple times and this time the water was very much filled with algae in the upper areas near the waterfall and cleaner as you went through towards the bridge. Make sure to test the rocks before you step on them or you might slip! Each campground spot has a fire pit (with a very annoying and disgusting swiveling grill on top), and a bear box. I would say the amount of space you get per spot is pretty spacious compared to some other campgrounds. There are potable faucets throughout the campground and bathrooms nearby. The bathroom isn't very clean and only four stalls so there is a wait sometimes but the faucets are motion sensored which is very convenient. There are a lot of interesting bugs at this camp site. And a lot of chipmunks. If they find any scraps they'll be coming back often. We had to scare them off to stop them from coming and digging into our bags. There is a ranger truck patrolling the area at all hours and will stop by your camp site to find things you're doing wrong. We got a warning for leaving out unscented (free and clear) hand soap. And the ranger picked up our trash bag with a few blow out diapers and shoved it on top of our baby food inside the bear box. If you look at the bear box label it tells you to put your kids car seats in there but you are provided a box that will not fit them and all your other stuff. Cross your Ts and dot your Is.

In case you forget anything there is a lodge which has a well stocked market as well as snack shop to get some food.

This was my first time in Sunset Campground and second trip to Kings Canyon. I read Yelp for some…read moretips and although I found some information, this time I gathered more detailed info I wish I had found: *Also, this trip we had 4 sites, but best was site #40* 48 was good and large and near 40. 27 and 44 were okay. 1. It is true. Site 40 is probably the best of the sites, and the one next to it. The sunset view is insane. You can also see in the distance the layers of mountains and trees that seem to go into infinity. These sites are usually taken very quickly when the reservation opens so if you can't get it, you can always walk here from your site to see the sunset. Just don't disturb the occupants when you walk past their setup. 2. Yes, there seems to be constant firewood to be gathered albeit in amorphous shapes and sizes. They burn good (went in July where everything was pretty dry). I only brought with me one bundle of purchased firewood and left with about 3 pieces back... Tons of firewood can be found when you walk to the trail that takes you to General Grant. 3. Site #27. Best to stay a site distance away from the restrooms as I noticed some people will walk across my site to get to them (really depends where). But it had a really close water source and restrooms right there. Two Parking spots. 4. MOST SITES HAD ONE PARKING ONLY. Read carefully as my friend assumed their site had 2 parking spots each but that wasn't the case. You can't park on anything except asphalt they said. 5. There is overflow parking and for what i saw, it was fairly spacious and had empty spots available on a weekend when I started my hike. It's near the check in booth for the campground. 6. Hume lake is 30 mins drive and people kayak here, take a dip in the water (don't go far), and fish too. I only caught fish the size of my hand so they were all released. 7. Sequoia Lake is PRIVATE and owned by the YMCA, so you can't go there. 8. Market is very close but should drive there. Anything you need they'll have, ice, cooking oil, ice cream, etc. Highly recommended even if it was full. It didn't feel too crowded and people seemed to respect quiet hours. The air was clean and full of oxygen. The view of the sunset was the best part **I hope you find these tips Helpful, helps me know if it's worth writing about this as I am usually a food reviewer person** Thanks! Happy camping.

If you're lucky enough to reserve those sites be prepared for the whole campground to walk through your site to share the golden hour moment. There's a trail that can be accessed behind the Ampitheatre which will lead you to Grant Groves visitor center and Grants Tree. ~4 mile loop from the campground.

This describes Sequoia High Sierra Camp in every way, although "comfortable bed" doesn't come close to what you'll find as fall asleep your first night in the mountains. Perched at 8,200 feet within Sequoia National Monument is Sequoia High Sierra Camp, an upscale experience that redefines "roughing it." Unparalleled vistas and luxury camping are available to those willing to hike a mile from the Marvin Pass trail head. At campsite, prepare to be pampered as hosts greet you with Southern-style sweet tea and warm oatmeal cookies. From the twin or king-sized beds with pillow-top mattresses dressed in triple-sheeted linens, down comforter and Pendleton wool blanket, to the gourmet fare, you'll wonder why someone didn't envision this type of camping sooner. Three meals a day include fresh fruits, homemade muffins, and all the breakfast basics; sack lunches for you to hit the trail; and mouth-watering dinners such as classically-prepared Caesar salad, muscovy duck breast, and homemade strawberry shortcake. In your 14' X 24' tent you can cozy up to the warm glow of a propane lantern as you sip a glass of wine and read a book in wrought-iron chairs with over-stuffed cushions. Comforts include a basket of plush towels and toiletries, bottled water, daily maid service, and bathroom building with flush toilets and hot showers. Maps and directions to all the best recreation are readily available. A warm fire, a glass of wine, and brilliant sunsets...this is camping! OMG why didn't they invent this sooner? Sequoia High Sierra Camp is open seasonally.

We just returned from, what was suppose to be a 3 night stay at Sequoia High Sierra Camp. We were…read moreso disappointed that we cut out a night early, with no refund. Yes, the food that was prepared each night for dinner was above average, and the 4 beer offerings and a dozen wines were nice and priced reasonably. But that is the only compliments I can pay this "luxury" camp. The dirty road in was an absolute nightmare and set he tone for the trip. The owners/proprietors were borderline rude and yes a bit grouchy. The bathrooms were far from what I expected from a "glamorous" camping experience. The breakfast offerings were fair, but I expected more from a place that's selling themselves as "luxury", how about some waffles, french toast, omelets...... The pack your own brown bag lunches were a huge disappointment! And I couldn't believe there weren't snacks (granola bars, fruit, power drinks, sodas, pretzels, etc.) offered around the clock. The hiking was also a bit of a let down too. And the hike offered with return transportation from Cedar Grove at $75 per person was ridiculous! Over all for what this place costs, we were very disappointed. I wouldn't recommend Sequoia High Sierra Camp to my worst enemy. Save yourself from a huge disappointment and go somewhere, anywhere else! As for the night we walked out on.... we headed into Fresno, stayed in the Riverpark area and had a great time!

I was nervous about coming up just me and the baby, but as other reviewers have mentioned, the people here are just so warm and welcoming, that we soon felt right at home. In the afternoons, the staff taught a free yoga class. There was even a massage therapist on site. You can feel how much everyone working here loves the camp and being in nature. We ate our meals outside and enjoyed a fire pit in the evening. I'd love to come back for one of the retreats they host over the summer.

I only spent a few hours there as I drove from San Francisco, which is about 4.5 hours. $35 a car. One thing I didn't like, when paying to get in, the Ranger asked if I was a legal resident. He asked that because he said it's $100 for a non-resident. Trump at his finest because the Ranger said it was an Executive Order. There are so many beautiful sites. Definitely worth visiting. Oh, I almost forgot. They have gas stations, and when I saw the price, I filled my tank. $6.19 for regular.

Before I visited the place, I had heard of the Sequoia National Park several times throughout my…read morelife and all these mentions amounted to me believing one large fact: that the place was a sprawling, maybe never ending, sea of deep forest pageantry. And do not get me wrong, the place is in fact miles and miles and cubic centimeters of forest as commonly imagined. It had tall trees, meadows, dirt paths with twigs and shrubs all around and views so expansive the word majestic comes to mind. But after walking the same scenery for hours the beauty in green became a dull brown motif. Wood sprites might have heard my words or seen my unimpressed and tired face because Sequoia stopped being a forest of trees and green and it started to become a land of different weathers that not only gave me new challenges and vistas to experience but it also gave me beauty I had to endure. As I saw my friend Denise walk into a spherical cloud of fog, I realized that this place oscillated between being both proof of nature's magic and her jagged disposition. The fog seemed like a portal to Avalon where Pulk waited with prose, but it was also a reminder of all the sailors and drivers lost when the thickness of mist impairs good visual choices. The fog sphere was seen after Denise and I walked for hours, uphill, to see Morro Rock. As we walked up, we first passed mist that seem to have broken from a cloud. This was a sensational moment. She and. had both skydove but this is the first time where we felt like we walked through cloud veils, insetad of zooming past them with the hope of gravitiy abandon. I do not think I will ever re-feel the sensation of walking on cloud air, literally. She and I got separated. I thought I could follow the signs. But the signs were tricksters. As I walked toward the museum I saw a sign that said this way to Crescent Meadow. I did not see a sign that said this way to Crescent Meadow (pointing to the left) and this way to the Museum (pointing ahead). I assumed that because I no longer saw signs assuring me that I was on the right path, I must have gotten into the wrong one. I share this as the biggest piece of advice that I wish to give: Stay the trail, despite not having signs of reassurance that you are still in the right direction. The signs, and my broken internal compass, are both valid reasons as to why I eventually left the designated path and got lost. Like legit lost in the wilderness of Sequoia. I was not in an episode of Naked and Afraid but I did feel scared, disoriented and like I would not see my life tomorrow. Before I got to this point of panic, I arrived at a bluff of a white mountain that saw me greet miles of green pines that streched as far as the eye could see. It was a Rocky-like-triumph moment, except that I had to drag myself, as I sat, down this white mountain, but that was my survival experience that I am proud to have endured. After sliding down, I searched for paths that seemed walked on before, and found several that I had to follow and eliminae. I climbed over trees by hugging their fallen bark, and almost lost my shoe. I continued and eventually found a path and others humans. I was save for now. I got lost again but this time my survival was quicker as I walked down to the road. Rangers told me that I was not able to ride in the truck after I explained I was scared and unable to find my way twice. One of them told me to follow the road and eventually I would hit the museum. I did just that and I found my friend Denise waiting in the museum. After hugs laced with relief, she and I continued our trek to Sherman. But we got hit by rain. I had a hoodie. She did not. Her face looked beautiful covered with the remains of heavy rain. We walked and the sleet followed. We were wet, damp, and we were scared. What could be next? We could not find our path to Sherman. We waved people down, hoping that someone would take us to our car near Sherman. Eventually, we met Chester and he let us both into his car. The snow now was falling hard. She and I did not expect snow. We did not expect white to fall from the sky not when we were promised green on top of green all around. We got to the car and she drove in Snow for the first time. It was both scary and and beuatiful. I imagined that I was in snow caped mountains seeing frozen giants walk around. The night was gray. The monsters were there. She worried about us not having snow tired but still we drove down the snow covered pines, in a pilgramage to safety. Before we left the park we saw mist contrasted in the dark of the knight. It was a spooky evening, yes, the one that frames scary stories. But for us the night mist was further proof that Sequoia offers weather that is cyclical within a day. With space from the experience, I am only happythat I visited the place and was ensconsed by its many seasons. And, grateful that I survived the beauty of it all.
