Sentinel Campground is well-maintained, clean, and set in a beautiful location near the river with ample hiking opportunities and great privacy between sites. Campers appreciate the friendly rangers and the peaceful atmosphere, especially in quieter months. While some facilities had minor issues, overall, guests enjoy a fantastic experience in nature.

Great campground. Very clean and right on the river. Lots of bears, so use the bear boxes.

We always love the beauty of the Cedar Grove area. Our only disappointment is that funding for our National Parks has dwindled so that services (such as the store) and ranger shows are not available until at least Memorial Day, and we understand that some services, etc., may not be available until much later than that.

Amazing campground. We were on site 55 and let me tell you, the view every morning was amazing. We left our tent facing the meadow and it was wonderful. My wife and I enjoyed our time here.
