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.

Sentinel is simply amazing. Quiet, the people who are there are generally respectful, the location is beautiful…I could go on. Just a wonderful campground. We didn’t want to leave.

Best camp spot! Close to clean bathrooms. Nice flat tent pad. Clean bear box, table. Lots of wood to burn a fire. Ranger walks by daily so you feel safer. Some noise on weekend nights; parties.

Very nice campground. Gives the real camping feel bc you’re literally in the woods. The bathrooms could be in a little better condition but it’s camping LOL. So I wasn’t expecting much.

Be sure to have everything you need before you arrive. Campsites by the rivers are best. The hike to the waterfall in the area is great! The only negative experience was booking. Impossible to get a site. Waited until one A.M, two nights in a row to book a month in advance. But even then, everything was booked. Only got one night.
