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 stayed 3 nights and had a great time! Very close to all hikes in Kings Canyon and just an hour drive up the canyon over to Sequoia. The showers were clean & are within walking distance but we drove to make it easy. They’re located next to the general store where you can buy tokens for the shower, only open until 8p though. Camp site was clean when we got there and the bear lockers gave us peace of mind! Other folks staying in the campground were very friendly.

Great place to camp. Beautiful sites and sounds. Tall trees and taller spectacular canyons! Waking up every morning to bird sound and rushing waters. The restrooms were in need of maintenance and repairs. Rangers friendly and informative, especially, Jordon, out of Cedar Grove.

Really nice campground. Lots of shade at the campsites and walking distance to lodge.

Beautiful campground! Love the sunlight coming through the trees in the morning and the closeness to Cedar Lodge for food and showers after a long day of hiking. Popular with families and can get loud during the day

The campground was clean and very quiet. Short walk to river cafe and market - some sites very close to river.

The campsite itself was okay but almost none of the restrooms were working. The sinks were broken, the urinals did not work and some of the toilets weren’t working either. The park staff had no timeline for repair and honestly there didn’t seem to be much concern about the issue.

Beautiful campground right next to the river in the heart of kings canyon. Cedar Grove lodge is also close by with a store. Flat campsite with trees for shade. Amazing hiking all around but pay attention for bears!
