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.

Site was great, campground was gorgeous (especially along the river), and every neighbor was respectful, sweet and friendly. Men’s toilets were literally unusable but woman’s bathroom were tidy and clean. We’ll definitely return and would recommend overall.

Love this campsite. Camping at the bottom of the kings canyon with the kings River in the background is the best. Only complaint i have is the restrooms. They're pretty bad. Be nice if they could keep them in working order.

Sentinel is beautiful, surrounded by breathtaking cliffs, and a stream on one side of the campground. There's also a stunning, lush meadow in the middle. We hiked around the trails, drove to Road's End, and stopped at Roaring River Falls (recommend!)

Great campground with lovely sound of the roaring Kings River. Clean bathrooms. Close access to trails at Road's End. Shaded sites.

I rate it and F. The bathrooms are deplorable. There is no running water in the sink facuets (if it had a sink at all) and a lot of the toilets are out of order. I did not see one cleaning crew the four days we were there. I only saw the ranger two times and both were during the day. No Ranger was seen at night when we had bears incidents. Also there were barracaded areas were you could not go due to a sink hole caused by a fallen tree.

The campground site was massive. Possibly the largest campsite I’ve ever stayed in. Lots of room for activities. The bathrooms could use some renovations. There were no lights in the bathroom and didn’t seem to have been cleaned in quite some time. The bathroom wasn’t an issue because I brought my own toilet and faucet. Also, lots of wildlife in and around the campground. Was lovely to see.
