What Guests Are Saying
Sentinel Campground is well-maintained, clean, and set in a beautiful location near the river with ample hiking opportunities and great privacy between sites. Campers appreciate the friendly rangers and the peaceful atmosphere, especially in quieter months. While some facilities had minor issues, overall, guests enjoy a fantastic experience in nature.

This is a very nice campground in Kings Canyon National Park. It is close to the Visitor's Center, and they have ranger talks frequently in the summer. The campground has bear boxes at each site along with bear safe trash containers sprinkled around the site. The bathrooms were clean and had running water. Sites were not too close together but also weren't far enough (typical campground). Within walking distance of the lodge store/snack shop nearby. Would definitely stay here again!
