Sentinel Campground is incredible. It’s quiet and the sites are spacious. The restrooms are a little grungy, but just from age, not poor cleaning.
The campground is deep within Kings Canyon. It’s a long drive to get to Sequoia. I wasn’t aware of this when booking and hadn’t planned on so much car time during my visit.
I’m sure it’s easier when other visitor centers and community areas are open, but it was also a pain to get to the main visitors center for wood and other supplies.
That said, I did have a spectacular visit and would return to this location on future visits.

As close to nature as you can get. Yet convenient bathrooms. The river close to where I stayed (159) made a nice ambient noise that makes you love nature.
