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.

Sentinel is beautiful, surrounded by breathtaking cliffs, and a stream on one side of the campground. There's also a stunning, lush meadow in the middle. We hiked around the trails, drove to Road's End, and stopped at Roaring River Falls (recommend!)

Great campground with lovely sound of the roaring Kings River. Clean bathrooms. Close access to trails at Road's End. Shaded sites.

Love this campsite. Camping at the bottom of the kings canyon with the kings River in the background is the best. Only complaint i have is the restrooms. They're pretty bad. Be nice if they could keep them in working order.

Site was great, campground was gorgeous (especially along the river), and every neighbor was respectful, sweet and friendly. Men’s toilets were literally unusable but woman’s bathroom were tidy and clean. We’ll definitely return and would recommend overall.

We were very pleased with Sentinel campground. The site was clean and flat for our tent. We were very pleased to find flush toilets and deep sinks to wash our dishes. Our site was close to the bathroom and there was no odor at all. We also like the proximity to the Visitor Center and Cedar Grove lodge with showers and a small but well stocked store. Kings Canyon was spectacular. We visited Boyden Cave on our way into the valley. We hiked to Mist Falls and saw a couple bears at a safe distance. The hike was perfect; not too difficult but enough to give us a good work out. We had a very memorable trip and would recommend Sentinel Campground. .

The two female rangers at the visitor center were very helpful and courteous.
Definitely need a plumber to fix toilets and sinks in restrooms! It will be a mess on the upcoming holiday with so many toilets in non working conditions.
