Absolutely beautiful! Hopefully the ranger presence will be better soon as they are short handed but doing their best to patrol and keep the bears at bay. We had a wonderful time!

Sentinel campground is a beautiful, well-maintained site. The campsites are well shaded, the facilities kept clean. It’s in a great area within the park- near the lodge, the river, great hikes. We saw some wildlife during our stay- lots of birds, some deer and even a bear. Highly recommend this spot, was the most memorable and pleasant stay.
