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.

Spacious site , no shade and the parking lot is on the right pavement road, beautiful river and trails
Muy espacioso, no tiene sombra el parquing está un poco engañoso pareciera ser una carretera 😬, pero muy linda experiencia con el hermoso río

Site #20 is private on the right outer loop. You can hear the river! I was in a rooftop tent so we could make use of the parking space, but this site is perfect for tent camping if you want to get a little further away from the other sites. Quiet campground, would stay again.

Campsites had a nice amount of space between them so you didn't feel too close to your next door neighbor. Lots of tree cover. Sinks in the bathrooms seemed to lose almost all pressure somewhat frequently but they were also fixed by maintenance quickly. Good location for easily accessing the waterfalls within Kings Canyon NP. Close to the lodge with supplies, showers, laundry, and food.

Wonderful campground! Located way north east into park so less crowded compared to lodgepole and the scenery in campground is gorgeous. Saw bears close by. Drive up there is part of what makes it a great trip. Wish there were showers within grounds rather than over at market but wasn’t a huge deal. Would love to go again. Women who sells shower tokens and firewood at market is very nice and helpful.

The campsite was quiet and spacious. The ranger was very accommodating when we saw the original campsite we booked and asked to be assigned to a different one because our pickup truck wouldn't fit well at the first sight. We also appreciated the rangers coming around frequently to check for any bear activity.
