Sentinel Campground

Hosted by National Park Service

New listing

Sentinel Campground in Cedar Grove is nestled in stunning Kings Canyon, one of the deepest canyons in the United States. With views of a lovely meadow central to the campground, the sound of the Kings River, and glowing mountainsides just beyond the trees, Sentinel Campground is a wonderful place for families to spend time in the great outdoors. Cedar Grove provides a plethora of hiking trails, from the hiking newcomer to the avid backpacker and everyone in between. Day hikers can hike to Mist Falls, Cedar Grove Overlook, around the peaceful Kanawyer Loop along the Kings River, through Zumwalt Meadow and more. Visitors can also fish for trout in the Kings River, or take a scenic horseback ride through the canyon with the Cedar Grove Pack Station. Each site provides a fire ring, picnic table and large bear-proof food storage box. The roads through the campground are paved, making it easier for both RVs and smaller cars to access the entire campground. Five comfort stations are spread throughout, all with flush toilets, sinks for dish-washing and drinking water. The Cedar Grove Visitor Center is located just outside the campground, and Cedar Grove Village is across the street with a convenience store, gift shop, snack bar, hotel, showers and laundry. Tall granite mountainsides cradle the south fork of the Kings River, as streams and creeks feed the river with snowmelt from higher elevations. Abundant wildlife roams through the tall ponderosa pine and incense cedar trees, meadows and riversides. Hikes into the backcountry out of Cedar Grove give visitors an even deeper understanding of the beauty and uniqueness of Kings Canyon National Park. Hume Lake, Grizzly Falls, Mist Falls, Zumwalt Meadow, Roaring River Falls, sequoia groves and numerous hiking trails attract visitors to this area. Campfire stories, nature and wildlife presentations, and ranger-led hikes are also available during most of the season.
