Look at the sites before you pitch your tent! The locations are very different. Also- there is a large hill you have to climb to get to the beach. Be prepared!

The campground is family friendly. We were 3 families and we shared a camp site and it was easy. The trail to the beach is close by. We were in site #79 and it was an easy access to the beach trail from there. Day time was a bit hot when we went - May. Overall amazing experience... Privacy is not very high here though.
Researching this just now, and noted that the 'Check Availability' link above took me to "reserveamerica.com" - searching for 'Sunset Campground', it took me to: "Sunset campground is centrally located in Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks in central California's rugged Sierra Nevada range"... a completely different place.
Sunset BEACH Campground is a CA State Park, bookable here: http://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=544
These campgrounds are family friendly. Our campsite [#13] had a metal fire pit and the beautiful trees allowed for some privacy from all of the larger family groups nearby. The trail to Sunset Beach is easy to access & the beach lookout point is amazing!

So good have fun!
Really close to beach but not so much that the wind whips through the camping area at night
You're right next to a strawberry field. So cute!
