We really enjoyed our stay. But there was someone in our spot when we arrived. We did inform the Ranger. The Ranger told us that they were waiting for another party to leave the spot that they had reserved at another sight. They people that were in spot still should of left. We weren't able to actually get in our spot until they left which was almost 1:00 p.m. We waited in the parking lot for almost an hour. I feel that the people in our spot should of waited in the parking until their spot was available.

sentinel campground has got to be one of the best. It is clean and well run. the rangers are fantastic.The reservation process STINKS!!!! The process is stressful and difficult. The Canadian system is much fairer . Many campsites are vacant for days even though they are reserved. People have to reserve more dates than they need just to secure the dates they want. CHANGE THE SYSTEM!!!

All good except shower room was closed due to covid, which I understand.

Please cancel your reservation iIf you’re not coming! That way other campers can occupy that bbjsite! As a camper without a reservation I was very frustrated that I couldn’t reserve one of the empty sites along the river. All the prime sites had been reserved online but not one showed. up. Happens all the time.

Sentinel campground this year was as beautiful as always. Our children enjoyed it to the fullest and of course the views were amazing per usual. Would really like for the park to install lights in the restrooms like in Yosemite, a little too dark as is right now.
