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.

I got the last 2-night reservation for the summer when I booked in April for June. This made me nervous for crowds and a not-so-great campsite. I was wrong. It was a spacious campsite, had shade, next to water spigot, and so serene. My only wish was that we had seen the bear walk through our site (we went to bed early and the neighbors saw it when it walked by their fire). Great campsite and great campground!

This was the most pleasant time camping we have had in a very long time. Yes it was busy with campers but it was quiet, peaceful, perfect temperature, beautiful garden in Gods creation.

The campground was very quiet and our site was huge and flat. The location is beautiful. But the sink in our bathroom didn't work and one toilet out of 2 was plugged.

Pretty good campsite. It was close to the bathrooms and trash cans. However there wasn’t much shade during the day and there were ant hills covering a lot of our campsite.

Great site. Clean. No complaints. You’re staying in a national park. Very much in line with what you’d expect.
