Our review on Campground Reviews:
Closest RV park to Kings Canyon NP
The nightly rate is a bit much for what it is, but you’re really paying for the location. If you have a big rig, there isn’t anything closer to the entrance of Kings Canyon NP. You could get closer to the Sequoia NP entrance, but not by much. It was easy to identify the overnight sites and find one that worked for us. We’d printed the email confirmation, so all we had to do was attach it to the post, and we were good to go. The biggest drawback was that we had our second ant infestation ever while staying here. Little bitey red ants found their way inside by way of the Starlink cable and the water hose, so that was fun. We camped at Sequoia RV Park in a Motorhome.

We used our Starlink dish:
The utilities were at the back on the passenger side, so three sewer pipes were needed:
There were biting ants that invaded our coach via the water hose (and later other routes):
In three years of this RV lifestyle, this is only the second time we’ve had ants invade, both in the last month.
The site number sign with a receipt clipped to it; when we arrived we just picked a site and attached the receipt (that we had previously printed out); no human interaction required:
