What Guests Are Saying

Sentinel Campground offers a beautiful setting with spacious, shaded sites and proximity to the river, making it ideal for hiking and outdoor activities. Many visitors appreciate the serene atmosphere and the campground's access to nearby amenities, such as the store and ranger programs. However, the facilities, particularly the restrooms, are in disrepair and require maintenance, which detracts from the overall experience.

We appreciated the extra large bear boxes. There was a leak in the bathroom that sounded like rushing water was on (that part of the bathroom was locked and not visible but it was audible) and it was painful hearing what sounded like a deluge of water going down the drain. Seems like they could have turned off the water if there was a faucet issue I just hope they didn’t waste gallons of water and got the issue fixed. Some of the camp sites were definitely more desirable than others, and many seemed like a fishbowl with no trees separating one site from the next, so I was pleased ours offered more privacy.
