Sunset Campground is a wonderful location for hiking, fishing, hunting, horseback riding and biking in summer and early fall. In the winter months visitors can take advantage of skiing, snowshoeing and snowmobiling. Anglers enjoy fishing by boat or along the shore for rainbow and brown trout, Kokanee salmon, bass and perch. Swimming, kayaking and canoeing are wonderful ways to spend a warm afternoon along the waterfront as well. A boat ramp and swimming beach are provided.
Facilities
Sunset Campground has standard sites to accommodate RVs, trailers and tents. The campground is equipped with picnic tables, campfire rings, drinking water and flush toilets. A nearby resort offers visitors basic amenities, lodging, and dining.
Natural Features
Fremont National Forest is hemmed in by towering snow-capped peaks and wide-open sage basins. The nearby Sky Lakes Wilderness, designated by Congress in 1984, is a land of lakes, rocky ridges and timbered slopes. It is approximately 6 miles wide and 27 miles long, with elevations ranging from 3,800 feet in the canyon of the Middle Fork of the Rogue River to a lofty 9,495 feet at the top of Mount McLoughlin. More than 200 pools of water, from mere ponds to lakes of 30 to 40 acres, dot the landscape. Wildlife viewing is plentiful in the area, as diverse habitats support a variety of species. Large mammals, such as mule deer, Rocky Mountain elk and pronghorn antelope, find homes in the the forests, while several varieties of trout inhabit lakes and streams. In the spring and fall, migrating geese, ducks and swans frame the Oregon sky. Black bears, mountain lions and bobcats also find homes in the forest.

No reading yet, book on recreation.gov
recreation.gov lists 57 of the 59 campsites the agency files here. The rest aren’t on its booking system, so a reservation won’t get you one.
No availability snapshot inside the last 36 hours, so this page draws nothing rather than ageing a reading into fiction.

What you actually pay
“Additional vehicle parking is $10 per night” · the U.S. Forest Service’s own agency notice
Derived by CAMPANAC: the agency’s published rates for this season, $32–$37 a night, plus one $8 recreation.gov reservation fee for the booking. A weekend here means Friday and Saturday night, booked once. Optional charges (an extra vehicle, a second tent, a dump-station fee) are listed separately and aren’t in this total.
Who keeps the booking fee
The agency’s own policy text says the reservation fee and the cancellation processing fee are “retained by the reservation service contractor”, and that a campground concessionaire will decline to refund them because “they did not receive these fees”. Recreation.gov is run under contract by Booz Allen Hamilton. What share of your booking fee the contractor keeps isn’t published in any federal dataset we can read, so we print no number for it.

Toilet distances are OpenStreetMap’s, measured for 48 of the 59 sites listed. A site with no reading is unknown, never far.
The price is derived by CAMPANAC, not published per site: the per-night rate this campground publishes for each site’s own site type. 57 of the 59 sites listed carry one, and a site whose type has no published rate sits out of the price rather than being called free.
Measured shade is NLCD Tree Canopy Cover 2024 (USDA Forest Service / MRLC) read at the site’s own coordinate, 27% canopy or more, and only for the sites the agency gave no Shade value. It never changes the agency’s own shaded count beside it.
