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.

I always wish that everyone would follow rules. No smoking, no fireworks, don't leave food in the sink, the obvious. But I can't control that. I wish there were more Park Rangers throughout Kings Canyon and Sequoia. I was surprised at how few I saw. Besides all of this, absolutely magical. I had a magical experience. It's a very beautiful campground in one of the most beautiful places on the planet.

We loved our stay here. Our site was not very level for our tent trailer and the asphalt was broken and missing in the back park of site which made one wheel ( down slope side) have to be up on a lot of blocks, but we made it work. Our site backed to the meadow however the brush is chest to head high at edge of site so you really couldn’t see it well. The site is pretty private though which we loved. Sites by the river are the best imo.

Lovely to be here in the off-season after the crowds have left (October mid-week). Campground spaces are wide-set and spread out with easy access to the river. Flush toilets were a nice amenity!

Campground was wonderful, but, the smoke from the campfires was too much, a real problem for us.
