The campsite was spacious, with a good distance between sites, providing plenty of privacy.
The ground was flat, making it easy to set up camp.
We enjoyed a beautiful view by the river, which was very peaceful.
The bathrooms were clean and well-maintained,
and there were water taps near the campsite, which was convenient.
Overall, it was a great experience

Stayed for 2 nights. #57 is perfect and beautiful. Big campsite that can prolly fit 3 tents. We arrived at 4 am but somebody was occupying are campsite but looks like they left before sunrise. Campground was quiet and we had a good time. Theres a lot of bees and mosquitoes and flies at this time in October. Park ranger checks the campers but restrooms were dirty. Stayed from friday until sunday noon time but no one cleans the restroom especially the restroom next to site 22. Sink inside both men and women’s is clogged, toilet paper all over the floor. We were able to swim in the river. No smoke eventhough theres wildfire alert. No bear encounter too. Campground is almost 1 hr drive from Grant Grove Village and theres no cell coverage so plan ahead.

Nice campground, lots of trees and shade. We stayed more to the center of the campground but campsites on the near river and stream have a nice sound to wake up too. Restrooms were not the best, no light in them it goes dark it’s dark. Showers are behind the market. Only campground open at the moment, hopefully the rest open next year.

Sentinel is a fantastic campground and was very clean and the camp host were great! The hike up to the Mist Falls was one of our highlights and we had camp fires every night? I highly recommend this campground to experience the canyon and the wilderness!
