Deep in Kings Canyon, the location is great for seeing the sights and proximity to great hiking trails. The sites are decent sized and there is quite a bit of shade, though some sites have full sun. It can get hot as the elevation is...Read More

We loved our stay here. The campground is way off the beaten path, but appears to stay full during busy season. The bathrooms can be a bit of a walk. No showers in the campground, but they do have pay showers next door. All campsites...Read More

🌲The campsite was spacious, with a good distance between sites, providing plenty of privacy. 🌲The ground was flat, making it easy to set up camp. 🌲We enjoyed a beautiful view by the river, which was very peaceful. 🌲The bathrooms were clean and well-maintained, 🌲and there were water taps near...Read More

Best experience ever. Clean camp grounds, with river flowing by. We visited this place in summer, the river flow was more. It was more like a small village in a forest. Beware of Bears😁 , as the place is theirs . 😊 There is a food...Read More

Sentinel Campground in Kings Canyon National Park is one of our favorites. Stayed in campsite # 34 this trip. Large pull-through site, with plenty of beautiful shade trees and a open field. We hiked, biked and fly fished right from the campground. Some camp sites...Read More

Perfect for spontaneous campers! Even if it says the lot is full there might still be maybe two or three spots available that you have to kind of look for! So much fun, there are showers, clean restrooms, and there's a little market, laundry...Read More

Clean campsites and bathrooms. Showers and laundry are a minute drive away and a small store as well. Lots of hiking trails nearby and river to go in but be careful water is cold and the current is strong

Spacious campsites and clean restrooms with flushing toilets. Most of the men's bathroom didn't have soap, so bring your own. We had a great time definitely will be back if a spot ever opens up again.

Lots of space in each Campsite! They emphasize putting ALL food and scented items in the bear box for a reason! We went for a hike within the Campground and saw a black bear with two cubs along the creek. Restroom was clean, saw staff...Read More

I don't know what I loved more about this place... The warm smell of pine on the breeze, or soothing sound of the river gurgling at night. I really enjoyed the tools available to remove excess fire pit ashes and rake away needles and pinecones...Read More

For our first time camping in Kings Canyon, the campsite was an excellent choice! It's located within the National Park. Very convenient for first time campers as well. The Campsite has nice bathrooms, monitored and Maintained by the campsites rangers and has water spouts/sinks. Located next...Read More

Yes there are restrooms with plumbing, however it's always a good idea to pack toilet paper/wipes in case they run out.

Bears! But the Rangers were on top of things! I think the seasoned respectful campers are back. No loud music. No trash. Great experience!

I'm obsessed with this campground and would love to stay a week or more to really take a dive into Kings Canyon. It's just so breathtaking, the trees, the crisp air. Absolutely stunning! Season closes end of October though so be aware of when to...Read More

Lovely campground with decent sized spots well separated. Facilities are basic and showers are a long walk or a short drive but the scenery is beautiful and it's very quiet at night. Other campers are usually pretty considerate here, maybe because it's relatively out of...Read More

A lovely first come first serve campground. There are five camping sites that back to the river and the rest surround a marshy meadow or are back by the road. It is so quiet at night that the main sounds are those of the river....Read More

This is a great campsite. They have bear boxes to store food (we were told someone saw three bears one of the days we were there). The facilities are clean and usable. One of the toilets wasn't working well but by the morning, it was...Read More

Great campground central to everything in the Cedar Grove area. Sites are pretty roomy and level. Showers/laundry still closed as of 6/27, but marketplace and food counter are open. Rangers actively encourage collecting dead/dry firewood, and there is a lot on the trail between Sentinel...Read More

Great place to cowboy camp in the middle of July. We forgot poles for the tent. No bugs or snakes bothered us through the night and it was the perfect temperature to just sleep in a sleeping bag. Highly recommend it. You need to reserve...Read More

Peaceful. (Except when the bears come through, then a bit noisy). Saw bears 5 times in 3 nights. Remember to keep everything priperly stored. And have a high powered flashlight …

I have been camping at Sentinel since 1981. Back then few people other than backpackers knew about it. Though the crowds are there now it’s still one of my favorite camp grounds.

Sure it depends on what you expect. It's a campground in the woods with only restrooms. The showers and laundry are located across the river. Everything is very basic but this was charming. It was quiet and beautiful. I definitely would come back.

Awesome Campground on the floor of King's Canyon. Not too far from some awesome trailheads, namely the Rae Lakes Loop trail. Stays relatively quiet and if you get a spot on the edge of the meadow, you're certain to get some stunning views of the...Read More

Beautiful, quiet campground in the midst of tall pine trees and a river. No noisy neighbors when we were here. Lots of pine cones and dead wood to be collected in and around the campsite. One of our favorite campgrounds to date.

Nice place to stay for one or two nights. We made it through all the canyons and parcs and had a beautiful time here. I was quite amazed that the parcs are that high. You should plan a full day from Sequoja to Kings. It...Read More
