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.

Roomy camp site close to water and the restrooms. Enough shade for the tent and to throw our two hammocks up.
Would book this one again.

We went in late May for 3 nights and had a beautiful well maintained campsite, between the river and a green meadow and great weather (mostly sunny and mild temps and a sprinkle of rain the first afternoon). Sentinel is our favorite campground in SEKI!

A very big campground, so a lot of space around. Our site was 72 (close to the main road, but at the external loop, so there was still a privacy and the traffic is not problem. Great place for Family with young children. Close to the river. Very nice place.

Magnificent! Going in late May avoided the crowds with the perfect weather. Sentinel was the only campground open, but from the looks of the others it is the best. Spots 13 an 14 are closest to the river and really nice. Spots 34 and 33 are about as private as you can get in a NP. Lots of elbow room.

The area is stunning, and the hikes are beautiful. The campgrounds are nicely spaced. The only ok part was that the sink wasn’t working in one of the bathrooms. Since there are very active bears, you must put all food including coolers into the large bear bins and not in the car. Dishes must be washed in the sink and scraps must be in a bear safe trash can. Great campground, amazing park! Oh. Lots of trout for fishing, but most were too small in May.

The campground was clean, including the restrooms. The river was just a short walk away from our campsite. I highly recommend this campground to whomever is thinking about visiting Kings Canyon National Park.
