Great site and great location. Beautiful tall trees and creek nearby. Bathrooms were cleaned regularly. Fire rings and grills are good. Bear box was functional. Bears visited the campground 2 out of our 3 nights my guess is that it was mostly due to a large party who weren’t diligent about food and trash storage.

sentinel campground has got to be one of the best. It is clean and well run. the rangers are fantastic.
The reservation process STINKS!!!! The process is stressful and difficult. The Canadian system is much fairer . Many campsites are vacant for days even though they are reserved. People have to reserve more dates than they need just to secure the dates they want. CHANGE THE SYSTEM!!!

Far too many people with no campground etiquette and far too many barking dogs. We had two people come into our campsite and take wood when they thought no one was looking!!!!! I’ve been camping at cedar grove for 68 years and it’ll be a long time before I come back. It’s very sad.

Loved this campground! We were in campsite 22, which was perfectly located— on the outer rim, near the river, close to the bathroom and water spigot. The market at Cedar Grove Lodge was surprisingly well-stocked, and there were showers available there. All in all, the perfect campground.
