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.

Possibly one of the loudest campgrounds I’ve ever spent the night in. I’m not sure if it’s the time of year and the other campgrounds closing for the season, but the amount of noise from large groups staying in the campground was crazy. It’s maybe a little too close to civilization for me; with Fresno only being a short drive. Next time I’ll choose a wilderness permit and camp in the mountains! On a brighter note; the bathrooms were clean.

Loved the whole experience, this is my 12th time staying in King’s Canyon. My only complaint is that there were lots of empty spots even though the park said full.

The bathrooms were vey clean, which is the most important part. The only bad part, was that some people stayed up really late drinking and making a lot of noise that kept me awake. By late I mean Ike 1AM. Hike into roads end and go to Mist Falls. There are spots to get into the water and cool off and the views are amazing. Looks like Yosemitee with out all the people.

Great stay, huge campsites. Was my second time camping here and I loved it. Bathroom didn't have a light inside, but that also meant there were not any bugs inside either! I love being close to the river and being one of the first people exploring the canyon early in the morning.
