Setting
Sunset Campground sits at 6,500 feet in the Sierra Nevada, shaded by a mixed evergreen forest of sugar pines, incense cedars, firs, and giant sequoias. Located across the street from Grant Grove Village, the property features two tent-only group sites, each accommodating up to 30 people and equipped with six picnic tables, fire rings, bear-proof food lockers, and paved parking. Flush toilets and drinking water are provided. Trailheads at the campground link directly to a one-mile trail leading to the General Grant Tree, as well as paths to 50-foot Ella Falls and Panoramic Point.
