Visitors intending to camp at Sunset Campground in Kings Canyon National Park will be able to reserve a site beginning August 21 / NPS file

Although the Coffeepot Fire located in Sequoia National Park remains active, it’s not expected to threaten the area of Kings Canyon National Park where Sunset Campground is located. As such, all sites at that campground will reopen August 23, 2024. Visitors intending to camp there will be able to make reservations starting August 21 through recreation.gov. Visitors expecting to camp in the parks should ensure they have a reservation prior to arrival.  

Smoke from the Coffeepot Fire is visible from some areas of the park and Grant Grove is currently experiencing moderate air quality, although conditions can change at any time. Visitors are encouraged to check the park’s website for current conditions at www.nps.gov/seki/planyourvisit/conditions.htm prior to visiting.
