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.

The middle campsites are way too close together and with a large group next to you, can be quite annoying and loud. The location is great, and the surrounding areas and rivers are fantastic.

This campground had big sites so your not camping right on top of each other. I will definitely be coming back in the future.

Just make sure your gas tank is filled up before you start into the parks. The camp grounds were very nice with plenty of room for each site. The fun part arriving was following Rt. 180 through Sequoia to the camp grounds. It offered amazing views of King’s Canyon but it is not for the faint of heart.

This spot is fairly level and spacious. It was relatively hard to find the restrooms as there is no path/sign leading up to them and it’s pitch black at night.
