The campground was relaxing and well-maintained and the bonus of a pool to cool off in was a nice surprise!

We had a very nice visit, campground was adequately spaced, could leave some trail maps at the entrance during off hours. Trails were well maintained.

Excellent RV spaces

Stayed in site 79. Spacious enough for two 4-man tents. Planning on coming back. Had some raccoons in our site, as did others. We kept our site clear of food and scents, which made for no issues with the raccoons.
@ThomasD6597226 · Camped on Jul 13, 2025 at Campsite #101
Love the park. Great hiking. Very hot but we knew that before we got there.
@DavidT4908079 · Camped on Jul 13, 2025 at Campsite #35
Stayed at Site 35 and it was nice and flat with shade later in the day. The raccoons were another story as they were aggressive and will come up close and will take a lot to shoo them away. The back of the campground is close to a creek. There were deer there and you can see the Vultures flying up above. The night sky and stars along with the Milky way were visible at night.

It was a good site but no signal
@MichaelL540355 · Camped on Jul 11, 2025 at Campsite #116
Perfectly fine location. Perhaps slightly small area to pitch tents.

Loved the campground! The site was gorgeous, with lots of shade. Our site was booked for 2 vehicles, but there really was not enough room for both and we had to squash together. It wasn't a side by side area as most of them are, but rather a long thin area to accomodate our 2 vans. Mine is big van, good thing my friend's was a tiny van. Side by side would have been a better option for us.The free wifi at the store worked fairly well on Thursday but by Friday, with more people, it was impossible to get even a text out. I have T-Mobile and had 1 bar by the pool, which allowed me to do everything I needed to do, even a phone call. My friend was on the Verizon network and didn't have any reception at all.It would be nice to have a few chairs by the pool. There are 7 lounge chairs, that people commandeer, even if they are swimming most of the time and there are no chairs. I did bring my own chair on the second day, but it was a long walk with a heavy chair. Alternatively a bench, or some place to put or hang towels would be helpful. The wood chips are just not a good surface to leave a towel!

The sites were either overgrown with poison oak (like ours) or devoid of any trees or greenery. We had three grandkids under the age of 6 and were very concerned about keeping them out of the poison oak. Even our dog was a challenge to keep out of the overgrowth. Very stressful week.
@GerryCA8D4DEDC · Camped on Jul 8, 2025 at Campsite #12
Lots of deer, rabbits, raccoons and other small critters, much more than expected. Also a dusk they are bats flying around.
@ConnorSAD2B443 · Camped on Jul 6, 2025 at Campsite #13
Very good campsites, just very busy as a consequence. Perfect for an easy camping trip they have just about anything you'd need.
@BenjaminM67514 · Camped on Jul 6, 2025 at Campsite #46
Pinnacles was great. The only downside is the most aggressive raccoons Ive ever encountered at a campground. The hike to the reservoir and bear gulch cave was a hi-light. Just know when the sun goes down the raccoons come out.
@KaiBC34820AAF1 · Camped on Jul 3, 2025 at Campsite #36
Ive been a Pinnacles regular for a decade. Unfortunately, the raccoon problem has gotten so far out of hand in the past 2-3 years that camping here is no longer fun. Raccoons will happily steal food right off your plate if you turn your back for just a few seconds after dark. They are incredibly aggressive and have (recently) learned that growling at campers is an effective technique to scare them away from their food/ingredients. Cooking at camp is one of my favorite activities, but its no longer enjoyable at Pinnacles. AFAIK, pinnacles has turned a mostly blind eye to the problem. I wont be returning until I hear otherwise.
@Christoph37654 · Camped on Jul 3, 2025 at Campsite #56
Site was great, campsite was great. Try to get a campsite that's shaded.
@SoniaK1C4F4F74 · Camped on Jul 3, 2025 at Campsite #5
an Amazing site for children, well maintained. Lot of stuff to do, hiking and explore the nature. Wild life is very visible.
@EnricoG4A416B2 · Camped on Jun 29, 2025 at Campsite #85
Great stay not crowded Condor Watching Great hiking
@KateMAABB27DBE · Camped on Jun 27, 2025 at Campsite #132
Nice campground but other campers very loud (music and kids yelling) until like 1am both nights .
@ShelleyC2AF449 · Camped on Jun 27, 2025 at Campsite #27
Easy self check-in, clean tent cabin, well-maintained bathroom, quick walk to campground store in case we needed anything. The night sky is really beautiful, I've never seen so many stars in my life. It gets very cold at night even in the summer, so bring the right supplies to keep warm when sleeping. There are lots of deer and raccoons on the campgrounds which is both amusing and cool.
@JohnS6889697 · Camped on Jun 27, 2025 at Campsite #6
Campground was well maintained and the bathrooms were great. Campsites were larger than many I have stayed in. The pool was a great option for the hot day. Camp store had all the essentials (including a decent ice cream selection). Stars were great since the park is so dark at night. The kids did the junior ranger program which they enjoyed but unfortunately due to the budget cuts to the national park system the rangers just handed them the badges without even talking to the kids as we were exiting the park.
@AshleyS5221344 · Camped on Jun 27, 2025 at Campsite #68
The campground is amazing. There is a huge difference between campsites. Some are right up on the road with ZERO privacy and others are totally private. The group sites tend to attract people who like to play music while the sites back on the loops tend to be super quiet. The one thing I hate about this campground is now low the fire pits are., They are only about 6 inches high which makes them a massive tripping danger for young kids and we had an injury due to a child tripping on them.
@LarsA7CF5C157C · Camped on Jun 27, 2025 at Campsite #110
Luxurious experience compared to the primitive sites we normally visit. Pool and shop close by. Very limited shade on the RV sites.
@KeithJ4436314 · Camped on Jun 26, 2025 at Campsite #20
It is sad that there is so little staff there. I saw a ranger once on our third day. The visitor center was closed. DOGE ruining the good life in America.
@AmandaC6826113 · Camped on Jun 24, 2025 at Campsite #91
Everyone was very friendly and accommodating. Nice little bonus having a pool at the campground. We enjoyed our stay.

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
