My overall experience at the campground was fair. There are definitely some positives: the group camping area is very large, beautiful, with plenty of shade and a good sense of privacy.However, there are also some major drawbacks. The restrooms are extremely far from the site, and getting water which should be a basic convenience is also very difficult. Access to the tents and tables is not easy, since you need to use either a steep stair or a ramp that feels unsafe. On my last night, I actually fell and sprained my ankle, and now I cannot walk properly.Because of these issues, I feel the campground is missing some of the basics that would make the experience both safe and comfortable.

campground is expensive, especially whe the park fees are added on top.suggest to half the campground fees for the park visitors.

Poor camping experience - no quiet hour enforcementHad to leave after one night despite having a weekend reservation. A large group at the adjacent group campsite was extremely loud from 8 PM until midnight Friday, then again starting at 6:30 AM Saturday. The noise was so excessive we couldn't have a normal conversation at our own site. Multiple other campers in our section also left Saturday morning due to the same issue. No park rangers were present to enforce quiet hours or address the situation. While the park itself is beautiful, the lack of staff oversight during peak camping times seriously impacts the camping experience. Would not recommend camping here on weekends without better noise enforcement.

A pool made the 100 heat quite bearable, and the turkey vultures and a couple of condors provided a great flight show. Now if only RV air conditioners were silent, itd be paradise.

We went in summer, it was a beautiful yellow sceane. It gave a very different feel from what I've generally seen in Cali (doesnt have redwood trees etc). The camp site was good, but there were multiple ant holes and huge red ants. Big red ants was the major drawback. The swimming pool was constantly busy during the weekend. But on a weekday, we got 1 hr all by ourselves. I will go again.

The Pinnacle's campgrounds had a good amount of facilities that were clean and we'll kept. Most sites are in a shade,but some don't have shade at all...I would recommend choosing the right one based on the included pictures, especially when visiting in the warmer months. Checking in and out was with no problem. We enjoyed our stay also thanks to the swimming pool.
@RoslynM70F29B9 · Camped on Aug 10, 2025 at Campsite #2
The campground had full services and great opportunities for viewing condors and other birds. We really appreciated the pool during the hottest hours of the day!
@PeggyAF2B3B8D2 · Camped on Aug 7, 2025 at Campsite #75
The campground was beautiful, quiet and clean! I was surprised that on the East side I couldnt see any pinnacles tho? I guess maybe you have to go all the way around to the west side? I saw lots of blue jays, woodpeckers and quail tho, so that was fun!
@JacobF34E99F2F · Camped on Aug 7, 2025 at Campsite #55
Super great campsite, with amazing bathrooms. We stayed for 3 nights and rock climbed two days. The climbs in the park are amazing!
@AdenH2AE7B5ABD · Camped on Aug 3, 2025 at Campsite #117

I wanted to stay a Saturday night and a Sunday night. But, your policy won't allow me to reserve a Saturday without ALSO reserving the preceding Friday -- makes no sense; I reserved the Friday, as well, but was a waste of my money, because I could not -- and did not -- arrive until Saturday . . .
@JohnM1144946 · Camped on Jul 30, 2025 at Campsite #105
Fun place to visit! Electrical hookup and shade from a big tree with a very flat spot made it great for the RV. Lots of creatures visiting too: dear and raccoons and many different varieties of birds. Raccoons can be very aggressive about food so make sure you lock it up!
@MonicaS3433522 · Camped on Jul 29, 2025 at Campsite #5
Beware of the RACCOONS! While I was heating up dinner, there was a GAZE of raccoons surrounding me with one having a hand in my cooler and another about to climb the table for food. Although there are lots of signs warning about raccoons, there are too many to count when food is around and you're busy the whole time chasing them away while eating. At night, I put all the food in my car because the cooler couldn't fit in the raccoon-proof bin, but I had trail mix in my backpack that was inside the tent that was zippered and the bandits still managed to get the bag of trail mix and spilled much of it on the ground. At night I could hear the raccoons outside my tent eating the spilled trail mix. Because of the close proximity to the bathrooms, I chose campsite A5 which meant I wouldn't have to drive to the showers. However, it does mean everyone else drives to the showers which resulted in a LOT of cars passing by with their headlights on to go to the showers. When you're engaged in astro-photography or just want to star gaze, you have to endure lots of cars with their headlights on. At the campsite, there's a barrier between where you park and where you set up your tent so there is some hauling of stuff back and forth and finding the camp site was initially confusing because of the barrier. Speaking of tent sites, there were lots of ants so my tent had lots of ants on it that I had to wipe down with a towel. While sites A5 and A6 are grouped together, the only thing it has going for it is the large amount of space (ideal for kids and adults to play) and the close proximity to showers. I would definitely seek an alternative camp site for next time.

The cabins look to be new and are very spacious and nice. We had one with a handicap ramp. The only issue we had was teh grate was missing over the fire pit. That caused issues. Other than that was a wonderful large cabin with tall ceiligs. Would def stay again.
@NaokoA472B6CD2 · Camped on Jul 25, 2025 at Campsite #32
We loved Campsite 32!It had the perfect amount of shade and felt really private with all the trees and bushes around. We saw a bunch of animalsdeer with a fawn, jackrabbits, and more. Just a heads-up: watch out for raccoons and fire ants. Other than that, it was an awesome spot and wed totally come back again!
@JenniferT29195 · Camped on Jul 24, 2025 at Campsite #109
Site 109 chosen for the electric & shade. Had morning shade & then of course evening shade. Site 104 & 105 had good afternoon shade. Electric makes all the difference in the summer. Had doe & 2 fawns in the foliage by our site so that was a treat. Easy to get RV leveled. Overall satisfied with the campground.
@VictorPFBCCF10 · Camped on Jul 21, 2025 at Campsite #7
The camp site was great. Plenty of sun and shade. Clean. It was also fun watching the raccoons steal over campers food. Lolz. My son and I will return and bring the rest of the family next time.
@CarolynC362536 · Camped on Jul 21, 2025 at Campsite #104
The campground was relaxing and well-maintained and the bonus of a pool to cool off in was a nice surprise!
@CarsonE43BD71E · Camped on Jul 20, 2025 at Campsite #54
The Racoons were aggressively searching and stealing food. They ran through the camp all night long and even climping into Vehicles while we were loading up to go.
@JuliaP1448072 · Camped on Jul 20, 2025 at Campsite #104
Such a pretty campsite, under the huge trees. We saw a bunch of wildlife, it was so nice and quiet here.

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.
