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.

Great campground a few miles from roads end.
The bears were active at night so be safe with your food storage

It was nice to be close to Roads End for the start of our backpacking trip. Sentinel was nice, quiet, clean.

The campground is in a beautiful setting near a river and amongst mature trees. There is very good privacy with ample distance between the camp sites. The toilets are basic but functional and there was a good set-up for doing dishes. Be sure to use the bear lockers. There was a black bear in the campground one night.

Kings Canyon is the quite gem of the National Park System. It will be even better when Kings Sequoia Park Service Management open all the campgrounds in the valley and most importantly open some percentage of sites to FIRST COME FIRST SERVED.
