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.

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. .

Campsite had limited shading but overall experience was still amazing. Plenty of space, very large bear lockers and proximity to bathrooms, water, and trash was very good. Campgrounds were fairly quiet and no issues with other campsites. The visitor center is very close / walking distance and the park rangers were very helpful and nice to us, and loved the interations with our kids for the activity books + kids junior ranger badges.

Beautiful campsite at the bottom of Kings Canyon, 6 miles from Roads End. It was a wonderful experience. Be sure to educate yourself on camping in bear country

Site is spacious for 2 or 3 tents and close to the trail. The campsite has a small creek flowing through it, creating natural white noise at night that makes sleeping very relaxing. It’s also not far from the restroom, although the water there doesn’t seem to work very well right now. There are lots of shades and the area is very quiet and peaceful.

Loved this spot. Secluded with only a few neighbors on each side. Shaded most of the day. Parking was level for car camping. Short walk to the river. Would pick this spot again
