Very nice. Water and fireplace provided. Walking distance from bench trail, MUST DRIVE to other trails, unless you want to hike 3 miles.
@EdwardMB8602F6 · Camped on Mar 8, 2026 at Campsite #21
Excellent facilities. Nice staff and a great location.

Great spot, and wonderful to be in a campground where generators are not allowed, nowhere, at no time!
@ChrisS8694045 · Camped on Mar 6, 2026 at Campsite #65
Very clean campground. Good layout, quiet and amazing night sky. We will return!

Great experience and loved staying at the Pinnacles Campground. I had site 16, which was close to the bathrooms and very private. So convenient to all the great trails at the park, and I was so happy to get a site for the weekend. The staff at the store and the park information were very helpful, and we had a great Ranger program put on by the son of the Ranger. He did an excellent job and was happy to attend. Great information about the wildlife in the park and the different habitats that make up the park.

Lovely campground! Nice, quiet, and clean. Great access to trails from the campground, would definitely recommend staying here. We had a 36ft TT and the roads leading to the park entrance were a tad tight and curvy so be aware of that as you enter. Just go slow & youll be fine. Favorite stay on our road trip by far!
@DeidraR6DEE157 · Camped on Mar 3, 2026 at Campsite #17
Great spot to camp. Safe. Showers. Dump station. And visitors center all in the same vicinity and only 2 miles from the trailhead that leads you to the perfect photo spot!

Lovely campground, nice staff, good campstore, clean bathrooms.
@AlanC2263615 · Camped on Mar 1, 2026 at Campsite #96
We enjoyed our stay at Pinnacles NP.The scenery, wildlife, friendly staff, nice trails were all appreciated. The park was a pleasant surprise and would recommend Pinnacles to those who have not yet visited.
@AndrewF3500044 · Camped on Mar 1, 2026 at Campsite #79
Location was excellent and the showers were very welcomed (thank you). The drive in part of the camp sites could be leveled better. Separation between sites is generally good. More posted information at the store would be beneficial regarding the operation of the east side of the park.
@JamesH5800718 · Camped on Mar 1, 2026 at Campsite #46
Unexpected gem! Great hiking trails! Spacious campsites! Clean, well maintained facilities! Lots of wildlife to enjoy! And awesome hot showers!
@LynnetteLF928F · Camped on Mar 1, 2026 at Campsite #113
Reservation was easy to make on line. Campground was clean and quiet. We enjoyed a great hike to Bear Gulch Cave and the Reservoir. The trails are well kept. The Park Rangers at the Nature Center were very pleasant and offered great information regarding the park and trails. We had a great time, so glad we took the time to experience this National Park.
@SusanC3925585 · Camped on Feb 27, 2026 at Campsite #30
The campground was clean and staff friendly. Overall nice experience, quiet at night even with a full campground. Would be nice to have some more trails that are on leash dog friendly.
@LuzC53C45C665F · Camped on Feb 27, 2026 at Campsite #6
Great location, very calm and kid-friendly! Bathrooms were nearby and well-maintained.
@TanayaGBAF6335 · Camped on Feb 27, 2026 at Campsite #81
Beautiful experience, my children had the best time, Bear Gulch hike was amazing. Slippery and dark, take shoes with grip and a head lamp is best so your hands are free. Lots of poison ivy on trail so be aware. Leaves are clusters of 3. Clean bathrooms and showers, water is hot, has shampoo/body wash. 2 showers, 3 toilets. Shuttle takes you to hiking area, last run at 530pm. Little store a bit pricy but far from town so try to not forget things. Wood bundles $20. Does get super cold at night. All in all we cannot wait to return, it was just what we needed.

Having ideal weather for our late February camping trip was very nice. But the big beautiful bonus was having a Ranger Naturalist working at Pinnacles National Park. Ranger Dan Ryan was full of information and context for all the Park's natural resources; most exciting for us was his knowledge of the Condors. Ranger Dan and his son, Jacob, led an excellent evening amphitheater program on bats, birds and other flying creatures. On Saturday, Ranger Dan led a bird walk adjacent to the campground, tailored to the interests and abilities of the attendees. Our 50-something kids grew up with Ranger Naturalists at National Parks. It instilled in them the importance of prioritizing the care of our National Parks for future generations to learn from and to enjoy. We have been saddened over the years as budget cuts have eliminated many Ranger Naturalist positions. The second big bonus was the availability of shuttles taking visitors to the most popular areas of the park. Kudos, NPS, for Ranger Naturalists and Shuttles!

Definitely take the High Peaks trail and get to the Bear Gulch parking lot early!
@KennethS576281 · Camped on Feb 25, 2026 at Campsite #109
Stayed at site 109. It backed onto a wooded area and a stream. Lots of wildlife.
@MarcL8507337 · Camped on Feb 23, 2026 at Campsite #99
It was our first visit to Pinnacles and we found the landscape to be beautiful. We only stayed one night because we were passing through and had our dog with us. We basically saw what we could from viewing points. We are looking forward to coming back to hike the area. On a side note the campground was quiet and clean and having a dump station was a plus.
@RobertH1222975 · Camped on Feb 23, 2026 at Campsite #104
Wife says campground gets a 7 out of 10. Bathrooms were far and few, and water kind of a pain to get to in our trailer.
@AmorN738287C0D · Camped on Feb 22, 2026 at Campsite #97
Good spaces. Great Rangers and service. Beautiful place.
@AshliSD6A37E51 · Camped on Feb 20, 2026 at Campsite #34
Great spot. Facilities are clean. Note - no cell service whatsoever except at the store. Note, you also have to pay a park entrance fee or have a pass to get into Pinnacles. This is not included in the camping reservation fee.
@marisaaFF766E2 · Camped on Feb 19, 2026 at Campsite #105
Well maintained and very convenient for exploring the park.
@LindaB8903771 · Camped on Feb 16, 2026 at Campsite #10
Nicely laid out, and the folks in the office were great.
@JamesW5759385 · Camped on Feb 13, 2026 at Campsite #115
Great quiet campground. A bit of a walk to the closest bathroom, but there's a little trail behind the parking space leading to the road.

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.
