What Guests Are Saying
Sentinel Campground is well-maintained, clean, and set in a beautiful location near the river with ample hiking opportunities and great privacy between sites. Campers appreciate the friendly rangers and the peaceful atmosphere, especially in quieter months. While some facilities had minor issues, overall, guests enjoy a fantastic experience in nature.

Great campground. Showers are available next to the Cedar Grove Market in the laundry building, but must buy token for about $1.50 per 5 minutes. Lots of places to play in the river but stick to the calm sections.

Great large location with flat areas to easily pitch tents. Only downside is that it's the campsite closest to the bathrooms and where people dump the trash/recycling (no complaints from my group, but some others may want to be slightly further away). Loved it at #30!

Very nice campground under the trees with a meadow along the upper top. Sunrise in the morning was beautiful through the trees. Sites were pretty level for a camper van and are very wide. You won't feel like you're camping on top of someone else. Small visitor center in the campsite, and a store across the river.
