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.

The map for selecting the site was great! Found a site the was secluded and quiet.

I had such a wonderful time at Kings Canyon. It was so much better than the more crowded Yosemite and Sequoia. The place was small enough to explore without getting lost. I would love to return again this summer.

We loved our last-week-of-August 2019 stay. Rushing Kings' River.
Few campers. Perfect in so many ways. This campground is far
back in the canyon, yet near a store and showers. Glad we found it.

PS: We found great joy in no phone service and no daily newspapers. The world went on without us just fine. Better yet, we got along even better.

I love camping here, it is dog friendly, kid friendly, and well kept, and clean. They keep it very woodsy, but that's what you want. Bathrooms are clean and well stocked. Campsites are large enough to spread out, the streams that run by and sometimes through campsites are fun and give you a more out of the city feel. You are within walking or short driving distances from numerous trails, for hiking and backpacking.

Wonderful campground. Would recommend the campsites in the lower numbers, closer to the river and more trees. Horseback riding was a very fun activity. The Boyd Cavern was interesting.
