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've been to this campground dozens of times in the past 40+ years.
It's always been a good experience.
The location is perfect , seems to be properly maintained. Wish there was more "staff" around on occasion if/when needed.
I like being next to the creek first choice....river second.
Having showers opened would be helpful but I know its probably not possible at all times.
