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 Campground was clean and the park rangers were very nice and helpful. I really had a great trip. I have not been camping for many years but will definitely be going again.

Absolutely fantastic experience! Camp location was spectacular, right next to beautiful landmarks and hideaways. Proximity to lodge market made the whole stay a lot less worrisome. Overall incredible time.

Each campground is unique. I think Sentinel is my favorite campground in Kings Canyon. The Ranger station is on site. The river & Cedar Grove store are close enough to walk to. The trees are beautiful.

The Rangers were very nice. Informed us about Bear activity. The Restrooms were a lot cleaner and kept up better than those in Sequoia National Park. If possible, it is nice for someone to check the cleanliness of the Bathrooms twice a day.
