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 really enjoyed the campground. It was clean and closed to so many places. We stopped by Knapp’s cabin, Grizzly falls, Roaring river falls, and the Boyden cavern which was so fun. The campground was near the river so the kids had fun soaking their feet in the calm areas of the river. Overall a great experience.

Nice flowing river, big camp site but enough toilets. No cell but very shaded and great location close to roads end.

Great campground, kids and I were testing out camping and they had a blast. River is close by with many areas for kids to wade. Close to tons of hikes and end of the road swimming spot. Grizzly falls is nearby for a nice lunch spot as well.

The local store closes at 6, so if you plan to buy locally sourced firewood there keep that in mind. We arrived at 7pm and would have missed out on a first night campfire but fir the generosity of our campsite neighbors. A ranger or camp host was nowhere to be seen. Senteniel did have close proximity to the ranger station and when we visited in the morning the ranger was very friendly.

Beautiful site. Two other campgrounds were closed so lower than normal amounts of people was very nice. Great hiking and the Kings river one minute away. Will be back!
